(a) No person shall maintain an unpaved driveway apron in the city. Unpaved driveway aprons are hereby declared to be a nuisance.
(b) The city shall give written notice to each property owner whose driveway apron does not conform to divisions (d) and (e) hereof. The property owner shall then have 180 days to obtain a permit from the Director of Public Works and Services to construct a paved driveway apron. No person shall fail to obtain such permit and construct the paved driveway apron.
(c) The Director shall require that the driveway apron be paved with a minimum thickness of five inches of concrete. The Director shall determine the width of the driveway apron on an individual basis. All driveway aprons shall be paved from the public street to the property line or sidewalk, at the discretion of the Director. All work shall conform to § 1022.03 and shall be done to the complete satisfaction of the Director. If, in the opinion of the Director, the quality and workmanship of the completed driveway apron does not meet the standards of the city, the city may correct the work and charge the contractor and/or property owner for such work.
(d) Paved driveway aprons shall only be required where a paved street exists. “Paved street,” for purposes of this division means a street consisting of permanent pavement of at least six inches of brick, concrete or asphalt, or a combination of any of these materials, including curbs and gutters.
(e) This section shall not apply to driveway aprons paved with asphalt, brick or similar permanent substances on the effective date of Ordinance 77-28, passed May 12, 1977.
