(A) Any driveway or approach to be constructed must provide access to private property adjacent to the city street for some definite purpose such as a driveway, a parking area, or a door at least seven feet wide intended and used for the entrance of vehicles, and shall not be used for the parking or servicing of vehicles on street right-of-way;

(B) No driveway approach shall be constructed which will interfere with public facilities including street light poles, traffic signal standards, signs, catchbasins, hydrants, crosswalks, loading zones, utility poles, fire alarm supports, underground pipes or ducts or other necessary street structures without the concurrence in writing of the agency responsible for the affected facility;

(C) Not more than one driveway approach shall be constructed for access to one parcel of residential land less than eighty feet in width, except that driveway approaches may be permitted from each roadway adjacent to a corner lot. Each commercial or industrial property shall be allowed at least one driveway approach, but may have more so long as the total maximum summation of the widths of all driveway approaches upon the property does not exceed twenty percent of the length of the real property that fronts the abutting city street. Should more than one driveway approach be constructed, there shall be not less than ninety feet between the centerlines of each driveway approach;

(D) To prevent encroachment on adjacent property, the entire driveway approach, including the flared portions for turning purposes, must be constructed on the petitioner’s property frontage extended; exception may be allowed by written consent of the adjacent affected property owners. Extension of property frontage is to be determined by projecting lines at right angles from the street centerline to the intersection of the abutting property lines with the street right-of-way;

(E) Adequate drainage structures, as approved by the city engineer, shall be provided at entrances by the petitioner;

(F) Safety. Every effort shall be made to select driveway approach locations so that maximum sight distance is possible. Existing medians will not be opened to accommodate abutting property other than crossovers placed by the city as a part of the design plans. No vehicle parking areas will be permitted on the right-of-way, and only those signs approved by the city shall be erected on the right-of-way;

(G) Where a driveway approach is serving more than a driveway or door on the private property, a nonmountable barrier curb shall be constructed and maintained on private property to prevent encroachment of vehicles or equipment upon public property except at the driveway approach;

(H) No driveway approach shall be constructed across any sidewalk unless such sidewalk be constructed or reconstructed in accordance with specifications pertaining to the construction of sidewalks to be used as driveway approaches;

(I) Where no sidewalk exists, that portion of the driveway approach adjacent to the property line shall be constructed as though a sidewalk did exist;

(J) No driveway approach shall be constructed in a manner to change or interfere with the gutter flow line or sidewalk grade where such driveway approach crosses any such gutter or sidewalk;

(K) The sidewalk and curb shall, insofar as possible, be cut and removed at the nearest joint. Upon replacement and reconstruction of a sidewalk as a driveway approach, the construction of the curb return and any pavement in connection with a driveway approach, suitable joints shall be provided and all such spaces shall be filled with a bituminous fibrous compound in accordance with the specifications of the city. When it is not possible to cut and remove at an existing joint, such cutting shall be performed by using a concrete saw;

(L) The cost of construction of all driveway approaches and necessary appurtenances thereto shall be borne by the permittee. (Ord. 759 § 2, 1978.)
