Such angle shall be as close as is reasonably practical, in the judgment of <br />the public services director, to a right angle to the pavement of the public road. <br />(2)No curb cuts shall be made in such a way that the curb return extends beyond any property line as <br />projected, except when consented to, in writing, by the adjoining property owner involved. This <br />consent, if necessary, shall be submitted to the public services director prior to the issuance of a <br />permit. <br />(3)The top of the paving of the driveway approach slab at the curbline shall be 1⅝ inches above the <br />flowline of the gutter, and shall not extend into the gutter beyond the face of the curb or beyond the <br />gutter line, and shall not be constructed in a manner that will in any way interfere with the use of the <br />road for the purpose of travel or maintenance. The constructed road shall not be excavated in the <br />process of constructing the driveway unless previous approval, in writing, has been granted by the <br />public services director. <br />(4)Driveway culverts shall be provided and installed by the owner as required by the Public Works <br />Superintendent or City Engineer. <br />(5)Driveways shall not be constructed over curb stops, catchbasins or other structures, if at all possible. If <br />there is no other feasible location for the driveway, it shall be the responsibility of the applicant to set <br />the curb stop, catchbasin cover, or any other structures flush with the final driveway surface. <br />(6)The owner and contractor shall protect the public from injury or damage during the construction of the <br />sidewalk, curb and gutter, driveway, driveway approach, driveway turnaround, curb cuts, roadway <br />surfacing or private improvement in any street or public property in the city; and any permit issued <br />pursuant to this article shall contain the agreement of the applicant that the city shall not be liable for <br />damage which may arise from the result of work, and that the applicant will hold the city harmless for <br />any liability incurred by the city as a result of such activity. <br />(7)Trees or shrubs shall not be placed adjacent to a driveway so as to constitute a sight distance problem. <br />(8)If a parcel of land has frontage on both a cul-de-sac portion and a lead-in portion of the public road, <br />the driveway shall be constructed off the lead-in portion of the road and not the cul-de-sac. <br />(Code 1984, §§ 6.05(8), 6.06(8)) <br />Secs. 18-82—18-105. Reserved. <br />DIVISION 2. PERMIT <br />Sec. 18-106. Required. <br />It is a misdemeanor to construct or reconstruct a sidewalk, curb and gutter, driveway, driveway approach, <br />driveway turnaround, curb cut, roadway surfacing or any other private improvement in any road or other property <br />in the city without a permit in writing from the city. <br />(Code 1984, §§ 6.05(2), 6.06(2)) <br />15
