All driveways shall be graded to provide for proper drainage and shall be constructed with a hard surface consisting of asphalt, Portland concrete cement, paving bricks, or decorative paving stones.
The following maximum width requirements shall apply:
Maximum Width at Widest Point | Maximum Width at Right-of-Way | Maximum Opening at Curb | |

Two Car Garage | 27 feet | 20 feet | 26 feet |
Three Car Garage | 30 feet | 24 feet | 30 feet |

In all cases, the maximum percentage of lot width at the minimum building setback line shall be thirty-five percent (35%). (Ord. 2004-70. Passed 12-20-04.)
(b) All new drive aprons shall be constructed of plain Portland concrete cement, six bag mix (Min. 3500#psi) six inches thick. Existing asphalt drive aprons that are replaced shall be either Portland concrete cement or asphalt. Asphalt aprons shall be constructed of five inches bituminous aggregate base (ODOT 301) with one and one-half inches of asphalt concrete surface course (ODOT 404) or eight inches of crushed limestone aggregate base (ODOT 304) and two inches of asphalt concrete surface course (ODOT 404).
(c) Where the apron meets the street, there shall be a one and one-half inch lip from the top of the gutter plate to the top surface of the drive apron. If there is no gutter plate (i.e. ODOT type 6 curb) there shall be a one and one-half inch lip from the top of the street pavement to the top surface of the apron.
(d) Curb cuts for drives that were not provided during the original construction of the curb shall be made by cutting of the curb within a horizontal concrete saw and removal of sawed material. No jack hammering of curb cuts will be allowed unless the entire gutter plate is to be removed between existing joints and a new drop-curb section will be constructed.
