A. The maximum width of any driveway installed under the provisions of this Subchapter shall not exceed thirty (30) feet in the flat and all driveways and sidewalks so installed shall otherwise conform to the driveway specifications on file in the office of the City Engineer. Provided, however, that the City Engineer, at his discretion, may approve exceptions to these provisions.
B. Driveways or depressed curbs abandoned and no longer in use shall be removed and replaced with full height curb and sidewalk on standard slope without any cost to the City. No new driveway shall be constructed to serve any lot until any existing unused driveway or depressed curb abutting or in front of said lot is so removed and replaced.
C. Upon the completion of any building, addition or remodeling of any building, structure, or swimming pool, and before calling for any final building inspections, the owner or his contractor shall (without cost to the City) cause the repair or replacement of any defective, damaged, off-grade, or for any reason non-conforming sidewalk, drive approach, or non-conforming conditions that may exist in the public way and be considered hazardous by the City Engineer, or in the opinion of the City Engineer may become hazardous.
D. Requirements for temporary driveways:
1. Before any vehicle shall be driven or operated over any curb or sidewalk at any point other than where a driveway has been constructed, a permit to construct a temporary driveway shall be obtained from the Division.
2. Where said vehicle is to be operated over said sidewalk, planking of a minimum thickness of not less than 1-5/8 inches shall in such a way as to fully protect said sidewalk from damage. The outside ends of all planks so used shall be evenly adjusted and beveled in such a manner as to render passage thereover as easy and safe as possible.
3. Where said vehicle is to be operated over said curb, the gutter shall be maintained free and unobstructed for the full depth of curb and at least one foot in width from the face of such curb at the gutter line.
4. All portions of the sidewalk or curbing so protected shall be kept open, clean and passable at all times, and lights and proper barricades shall be maintained from sunset of each day to sunrise of the next day.
5. Such driveway shall be maintained only during the life of the permit issued therefor. The maintenance of said driveway over said curb and sidewalk after the expiration of said permit shall be unlawful and is hereby declared a public nuisance and may be abated by the City at any time thereafter by removing same without notice to the permittee, and the cost of removal shall be collected from the permittee in any manner authorized by law.
