(B) Every driveway constructed in the village for vehicles or animals, between any public street and any private property, shall be constructed with a culvert pipe not less than 12 inch "round equivalent" (15 inch span and 9 inch rise), and not less than 20 feet in length. The culvert pipe shall be laid so as not to interfere with the natural flow of water through the ditch of such driveway constructed.

No vehicle except village road maintenance vehicles shall be driven across any ditch in any public roadway, except over a driveway constructed as herein provided.
(D) No temporary occupancy permit for a residence shall be issued unless the culvert pipe and ditch work are completed to the satisfaction of the village building department.
