Any property owner desiring to obtain a permit for a service driveway or driveways to serve his property, shall file application therefor with the City Engineer. Said application shall be in writing and upon a form provided by the City and shall contain information showing the type of construction, the length of driveway desired, location of driveway and any other information which may be required by the City Engineer.
The permit fee for cutting a curb shall be ten dollars ($10.00) per each thirty five feet (35') or less of driveway.
If the proposed alteration as set forth in said application conforms with the regulations herein contained and the provisions of Resolution No. 1048 and amendments thereof, the City Engineer shall issue a permit therefor.
The city council reserves the right to review any decision of the city engineer upon any application and to permit curb cuts for a distance in excess of thirty five feet (35') in a commercial or manufacturing district where it appears that it is necessary to accommodate large trucks and trailers. The public welfare, safety and convenience shall be considered in granting any such application.
