(a) Before commencing the construction, enlargement, alteration, repair or removal of any building or other structure, or the excavation therefore, in which it is desired or may be necessary to drive across the curb, tree lawn or sidewalk, the person obtaining the permit 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 to prevent the backing up of water in the ditch and shall cover such 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 such 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 such work shall be done under the supervision and to the satisfaction of the Director of Building and Zoning, 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.
(b) All provisions for the cut of the curb provided for herein shall be subject to the fees provided by Council.
(c) Before commencing the construction, alteration or repair of any such building or other structure or the excavation therefor, the owner shall construct a driveway of gravel or crushed stone from the curb extending to the farthest point where building materials will be unloaded. When such structure is completed, such driveway shall be completed in compliance with Section 917.06.
