The Commissioner shall issue without any inspection fee or deposit therefor, a permit to construct a residential driveway if the applicant for such permit pays the issuance fee and submits satisfactory evidence to the Commissioner that:
(a) The distance from the curb line to the property line does not exceed ten feet;
(b) There is no space between the sidewalk and the curb;
(c) The edge of the sidewalk closest to any private property line is not farther than five feet from said private property line; and
(d) The driveway will be competently inspected by a governmental agency other than an agency of the County, and such governmental agency will furnish a certificate to the effect that that portion of the driveway installed in the public right-of-way was inspected and complies with minimum standards required by the County.
Provided, however, that if an applicant receives a permit pursuant to Subdivision (d) of this Section and the governmental agency referred to therein fails to make the inspection or fails to file the certificate there provided for within four months of the issuance of the permit, the Commissioner himself or herself may inspect the driveway in which case the applicant shall pay to the Commissioner the actual cost of such inspection.
