(A) Any person, partnership, company, corporation, association or agency intending to construct an access on the county’s right-of-way shall make written application to and secure a permit from the County Highway Department. This permit must be obtained before commencing construction on a driveway within the right-of-way of a county highway and before obtaining a building permit and an improvement location permit.
(B) A new driveway permit application shall be required when a relocation, alteration or remodeling of an access, approach and/or crossover, or any change in the character of the use of the access approach and/or crossover is proposed. The granting or denial of the application shall be governed by the same regulations and judged by the same standards as an application for a permit for a wholly new access, approach and/or crossover.
(C) Application to the County Highway Department shall be made on the form as prescribed by the County Highway Department. The form and accompanying documentation shall be submitted containing as many copies as may be prescribed by the County Highway Department. The result shall be a permit application package that completely and clearly describes and records the proposed work to be performed on the county’s right-of-way by the applicant. It shall contain plans, documents and other information on which to base a determination. It must also provide a clear record that can be reviewed in future years for investigative purposes. The application shall include immediately proposed and future work affecting all locations of access to the applicant’s property and adjacent parcels in which an interest is held by the applicant.
