A copy of the most recent ordinance establishing current city fees and service charges is available at city offices during normal business hours.
Before proceeding with any construction project in which it is desired or may be necessary to drive across a curb, tree lawn or sidewalk, the permit holder shall cut the curb for a sufficient width at the location of the contemplated permanent driveway so as to prevent damage to the remainder of the curb, and if there is no curbing, he shall install in the ditch paralleling the street, tile of sufficient size, but not less than 12 inches, to prevent the backing up of water in the ditch and shall cover the tile with crushed stone or gravel to the level of the existing road for a width sufficient to allow trucks carrying building supplies to pass over. Thereafter no vehicle shall be driven across the curb, tree lawn, sidewalk or ditch except by way of the curb cut and proposed driveway. Such person shall take such further action as may be necessary to prevent the formation of ruts, depressions or other obstacles or hazards to pedestrian travel along the tree lawn or sidewalk. All of the work shall be done under the supervision and to the satisfaction of the Municipal Engineer, who shall have the authority to determine the width, depth and manner of cutting the curb or laying tile and the type of protection of the sidewalk and tree lawn.
('80 Code, § 1317.03) (Ord. 7-75, passed 2-17-75; Am. Ord. 24-07, passed 5-21-07) Penalty, see § 150.999
Not later than two weeks after commencement of construction, the owner shall construct a driveway of gravel or crushed stone extending from the side of the road nearest the site a distance of 40 feet or to the building setback line. When the structure is completed such driveway shall be completed in compliance with § 150.038.
('80 Code, § 1317.04) (Ord. 7-75, passed 2-17-75) Penalty, see § 150.999
(A) Compliance with subdivision regulations. All driveways shall conform to § 153.210 set forth in the zoning regulations.
(B) Location. The driveway shall be so located that all portions thereof shall come within the limits of lot lines extended to the existing curb or pavement, unless Council by special resolution shall authorize a different location. Such resolution shall specify the location authorized. In case water hydrants, light standards, telephone poles or other existing structures conflict with the location decided upon, the Municipal Engineer may require such structure to be removed, provided that removal is practicable. The property owner shall deposit in advance with the owner of such structures a sum sufficient to cover the full cost of removal and relocation.
(C) Removal of curb. The minimum length of removal of existing curb shall be 16 feet. In cutting the existing curb, care shall be taken so that the cut shall be vertical and at right angles to the line of curb. Five feet shall be the minimum length of the block or blocks of curb left in place, otherwise a full block of existing curb shall be removed and replaced. Replaced work shall conform in all respects in character and kind to existing work. The minimum width of driveway, from the curb line to the lot line, shall be ten feet.
(D) Character of work. All driveways shall be paved with concrete from the back of the curb line or, if there be no curb, from the street pavement to the lot line. Asphaltic concrete will be permitted where there are no curbs. Concrete shall comply with the provisions of § 150.039(G) and shall have a minimum depth of six inches throughout. Asphaltic concrete shall be of a type and depth as to have sufficient stability to withstand the use to which the driveway may be put. Where concrete sidewalks are in place in front of the property, that portion of the driveway crossing the sidewalk section shall be constructed of concrete. To provide for expansion, a one-half inch pre-moulded expansion joint extending the full section width of the curb and gutter shall be placed at each side where the driveway joins the curb and gutter shall be placed at each side where the driveway joins the existing curb and also in the center of the curb and gutter section. All work shall be subject to the approval of the Municipal Engineer who may order the removal of any work which does not comply herewith. Where drainage ditches are permitted, a reinforced concrete pipe of sufficient size as determined by the Municipal Engineer shall be placed under the drive.
(E) Existing structures. Existing drain tile shall be maintained in workable condition and if disturbed shall be properly replaced. If no drain tile exists, a drain tile shall be inserted. Where electric cable exists, a two-inch fiber duct shall be placed around the cable in such a manner as to leave the cable free to be pulled and replaced. If no electric cable exists and if the street is improved with curbs and gutters, a two-inch duct shall nevertheless be inserted to care for future cables. Valve boxes, land monuments and any existing structures encountered shall be properly protected and cared for.
(F) Adjustments. Where the sidewalk is adjacent to the curb, the Municipal Engineer may make such adjustments to Appendix A of the subdivision regulations set forth in Chapter 152 as are necessary to prevent damage to the street, curb or sidewalk and provide for as smooth an entrance as possible.
(G) Limitation on width and number. Driveway width and number requirements shall be provided as required by § 153.210 of the zoning regulations.
