(A) Required. No person shall construct build, establish, alter, or maintain any driveway over, across, or upon any public sidewalk, curb, or public parkway without first obtaining a written permit to do so from the Board of Public Works.
(Prior Code, § 97.140)
(B) Application. Any person desiring to construct, build, establish, alter, or maintain a driveway shall make written application to the Board of Public Works and shall submit specifications and plans which have first been approved by the City Engineer together with any other information which the Board may require. The Board shall thereupon make any investigation it deems necessary, shall require certain specifications, and shall make reasonable rules and regulations for the construction.
(Prior Code, § 97.141)
(C) Revocation. All permits issued under this subchapter may be revoked by the Board of Public Works at any time without the consent of the grantee, in which case the authority and permit granted shall thereupon cease and terminate. Upon the termination by revocation or otherwise of the authority rights and privileges granted by the permit, the driveway therein authorized shall be removed and the sidewalk space where the same shall have been located, shall be restored to its proper condition to the satisfaction of the City Engineer, so that the portion of the sidewalk space used for the driveway shall be safe for public travel and in the same condition as the remaining portion of the sidewalk space. The restoration shall be made at the sole expense to the grantee without cost or expense of any kind whatsoever to the city; provided, that in the event of the failure, neglect, or refusal on the part of the grantee to remove the driveway when directed to do so, the city may proceed to remove the driveway and charge the expense to the grantee.
(Prior Code, § 97.142)
(D) Issuance. If the Board of Public Works, in its discretion, desires to permit the construction of the driveway by the applicant, upon his or her agreement to maintain the driveway properly with full right reserved in the Board to order it sealed, it may do so.
