(A) No person, property owner, agent or contractor, under any ordinance or resolution of the Council, or otherwise, shall begin or proceed to make any such sidewalks in any street of the Village, either by private or public contract or agreement until he shall have first notified the Village Engineer of the Village of his intention so to do, and thereafter such sidewalk shall be made and constructed under the supervision and control and to the satisfaction and approval of the Village Engineer and no person shall be required by public assessment or otherwise, to pay the cost and expense of making and constructing such sidewalk until the same shall be accepted and approved by the Village Engineer in writing.
(B) (1) It shall be unlawful for any person to make or construct any driveway or entrance curb cut from any public street or alley of the village, across and over any sidewalk or curb upon any such street or alley, and to any private property bounding or abutting on any such street or alley, without first obtaining a permit from the Village Council.
(2) Except as otherwise provided herein, driveway or entrance curb cuts will be limited to one per property. If a property's front property line is 140 feet or more or, if the property is a corner lot and the combined front and side property line is 140 feet or more, Village Council, upon request, may approve one additional driveway or entrance curb cut. Any such additional curb cut may not result in the removal of mature trees and planting on the property or within the tree lawn and the proposed additional driveway may not cause the existing front and/or side yard green space to be reduced by more than 30%. Additionally, any such driveway or entrance curb cuts, in the opinion of the Village Engineer, must not create any unreasonable traffic or safety issues.
(3) Notification shall be given to owners of all properties lying within 100 feet of, contiguous to, or directly across the street or alley from the property seeking the curb cut permit at least 20 days before the public hearing on the permit request. All permits herein provided for shall expire 90 days after the date of issuance.
