(A) (1) The city may, by this chapter, regulate the size, location, direction of traffic flow and manner of construction of driveway connections into any public street or alley.
(2) The majority of the city neighborhoods rely on an open ditch drainage system which is ideal for improving water quality of storm drainage runoff before reaching receiving streams. The roadside ditch system functions to meet the intent of the NPDES permit conditions if properly maintained with properly sized driveway culverts serving properly located driveways.
(B) All proposed changes to any drainage facility, structure or pipe culvert shall be reviewed and approved by the City Engineer as part of the driveway and right-of-way permitting process or subdivision regulations.
(C) (1) In order to ensure consistency in the quality and type of material, the property owner shall use Reinforced Concrete Pipe CLIII with flared end sections or an approved equal.
(2) The property owner may purchase and have delivered the pipe and flared end sections to their property and, at the request of the property owner, have the city install the driveway pipe culvert. This service does not apply to new home construction.
(D) To assist city property owners with their driveway improvements, the City Engineer will provide design assistance to residents on an as-needed basis.
