The City Manager, upon receiving an application for a driveway permit, may issue a permit for the construction of one driveway to any one lot or parcel of land concerning which such application has been made.
The City Manager shall, in his discretion, upon application as aforesaid, issue a permit for one additional driveway to any lot or parcel of land concerning which such application has been made or issue a permit for two additional driveways to any corner lot or corner parcel of land concerning which such application has been made, if, upon investigation, he finds that the construction and maintenance of such additional driveway or driveways will not substantially impair, endanger or interfere with the public safety.
In exercising such discretion, the City Manager shall consider the amount of pedestrian and vehicular traffic on the proposed driveway and on the street or sidewalk adjacent to the property sought to be connected with any street or highway. He shall also consider the grade or elevation of the public street with which any such driveways are to be connected and the proximity of the property sought to be so connected to any street intersection, railroad or railway crossing, fire or police station, school or church.
