(B) Access; state roads.
(1) A state highway occupancy permit is required for all access onto or work within the right-of-way of a state road. A township driveway permit shall be obtained before any vehicle access is allowed from a state road or township-owned street.
(2) If the township becomes aware that a state highway occupancy permit is needed, and one has not been issued, the township may delay the issuance of a construction permit and/or occupancy permit until such time as such state permit is issued.
(C) Slope and emergency access.
(1) The maximum slope of an access drive or driveway shall be 14%, except the first 20 feet adjacent to a cartway of a street shall have a maximum slope of 4%.
(2) See § 154.163(A)(4).
(D) Drainage. The developer shall make adequate provisions to maintain uninterrupted parallel drainage along a street where intersected by an access drive or driveway. Access drives and aisles within parking lots shall be graded and drained to keep the primary travel lane free of stormwater.
(E) Shared driveways. Unless otherwise approved, a driveway shall serve a maximum of one residential lot. A driveway serving more than one residential lot shall only be approved if the applicant proves to the Board of Supervisors that it is needed because of a sight distance concern, to provide proper access management along a road, or to minimize disturbance of natural features or agricultural areas.
(F) Turnarounds. For lots abutting collector streets, driveways shall be designed with a location on the lot to turn a vehicle around, so as not to require a vehicle to back out onto that collector or arterial street.
