ARTICLE III. DRIVEWAYS AND CULVERTS
It shall be unlawful for any person to construct or maintain a driveway, approach or other obstruction leading from any street to a lot or parcel of land abutting thereon which may in any way obstruct or interfere with the free and continuous flow or passage of water in, through or along any public gutter, water course, drain in the street, without first placing in the bottom of the gutter, water course or drain, a metal culvert pipe as herein provided and maintaining the same safe and unobstructed.
(Ord. 296, passed 5-9-1939)
Any culvert pipe installed in any public street shall be approved by the Division of Public Works and shall be of cast iron, steel or iron or steel alloy not less than eight inches in internal diameter, or larger if required by the Division of Public Works, shall have a continuous length of not less than 14 feet nor more than 42 feet, shall be installed in a manner approved by the Division of Public Works in a location, at a grade and at such elevation that it will not obstruct or interfere with the free and continuous flow or passage of water in the direction designated by the established grade of the gutter, water course or drain and shall be covered with material of the same character as the traveled portion of the roadway adjacent or other approved material suitable for the use intended provided, that the Director of Public Works and Utilities may grant special permission to install a metal culvert pipe less than 14 feet or more than 42 feet in length, if, in his or her judgment, conditions justify installation of the lesser or greater length.
(Ord. 296, passed 5-9-1939)
Whenever any person shall desire to construct a driveway or obstruction in a gutter the character mentioned in § 42-34, he or she shall make application to the Division of Public Works for a permit for the installation by the applicant, the Division of Public Works will issue a permit for the installation in the manner provided in § 42-35 and shall make a record of the permit. Should the applicant desire to have the work done by the City, he or she will be required to make application to the Division of Public Works and to pay to the City Treasurer, a minimum sum of $25.00 for a metal culvert pipe of an adequate size for the use intended, as determined by the Director of Public Works and Utilities, but not less than eight inches in internal diameter and with a standard length not greater than 14 feet, plus the sum of $1.50 per foot for any additional length required in excess of 14 feet. Upon payment to the City Treasurer of such sum, the City shall as soon thereafter as convenient, install the pipe and cover same with some material suitable for the use intended. The material used in construction of all driveways or culverts built by the City shall remain the property of the City. If at any time the character of the street is changed so that a driveway or culvert is no longer required, then all material used in the driveway or culvert constructed by the City shall be salvaged by it, and all material shall be removed from the site by the City.
(Ord. 296, passed 5-9-1939; Ord. 1103, passed 4-13-1953)
Whenever any street, lane or alley in the City has been graveled or paved without curbs, it shall be the duty of the Director of Public Works and Utilities to serve or cause to be served a written notice upon the owner or agent of any lot or parcel of land abutting the street which has a driveway approach or other obstruction leading from the lot or parcel of land to the traveled portion of the street, requiring him or her to install pipes in all the driveways, approaches or obstructions in accordance with this article, within ten days after the completion of the work of graveling or paving any such street. It shall further be the duty of the Director of Public Works and Utilities to serve or cause to be served, the notice as above mentioned upon the owner or agent of any lot or parcel of land abutting any street in the City which has been graveled or paved, who has not complied with the conditions specified in this article. In case the Director of Public Works and Utilities or other authorized agent or employee shall be unable to find within the City, the owner or agent of any such lot or parcel of land abutting the street, then the notice may be served by posting in some conspicuous place on the lot and premises.
