Access drives/driveways leading to and from a street or alley shall be developed as follows:
(a) Width of Residential Drive: A residential access drive/driveway shall be a minimum of ten (10) feet and shall not exceed twenty-five (25) feet in width, except at curb returns.
(b) Location of Drive: An access drive/driveway, exclusive of curb returns, shall be ten (10) feet or more from the side lot line and twenty (20) feet or more from another access drive, except that an access drive for residential use may be within three (3) feet of a side lot line or adjacent to the side lot line if a common drive is provided for two (2) adjoining lots.
(c) Turnarounds: An access drive/driveway opening onto any road shown as an arterial (either major or minor) on the Groveport Thoroughfare Plan must have provisions for a turnaround so cars need not back onto the road.
(d) Access drive/Driveway Slope: The slope of the access drives/driveways serving the single family residences shall maintain a slope of not less than three percent (3%) and no greater than ten percent (10%). All access drives/driveways shall slope towards the right-of-way. Special cases where the appropriate slope must be altered should be directed to the Municipal Administrator or designee.
(e) Condition of drive: All access drives/driveways shall be paved and maintained in a dust-free condition: however, a residential access drive greater than one hundred (100) feet in length and accessing a residential lot greater than one (1) acre may be a gravel drive.
