The standard culvert pipe diameter shall be at least eight inches and have a minimum cover depth of six inches above the crown of the pipe. The culvert pipe shall extend a minimum of twelve inches beyond the adjacent driveway pavement edge. The minimum standard for culvert pipe size and installation may be adjusted by the Street Commissioner and/or the Village Engineer as warranted by site conditions.
(b) No person shall fill in, cover, regrade or alter the course or grade of any roadside ditch or otherwise change the grade of a ditch, tree lawn or any portion of a dedicated street in the Village, without first obtaining a right-of-way permit therefor. Any such filling in, covering, regrading or alteration shall be subject to the approval and inspection, at all times of the Street Commissioner.
