(d)All work shall cease upon receipt of the notice of revocation. (e)[Reserved.] (Code 1984, §§ 6.05(5), (6), 6.06(5), (6); Ord. No. 178 3rd series, § 2, 10-10-2016) Secs. 18-112—18-135. Reserved. DIVISION 3. DRIVEWAY CONNECTIONS STANDARDS Sec. 18-136. Residential driveway Connections, approaches and turnaround. (a) (a)Residential driveway approach shall not exceed 20 feet in width at the intersected right-of-way line. (b)A curb cut shall not exceed the width of the driveway approach at the property line by more than ten feet. (c)No portion of a driveway approach, except the curb return, shall be constructed within 30 feet of a corner where feesible. (d)For residences constructed after July 25, 1986, the Driveway approachs and that part of the driveway and turnarounds which drain to the road shall be paved with bituminous concrete blacktop or equivalent paving. Where it has been determined by the city's public service director that driveway and/or driveway approach existing on July 25, 1986, is causing a maintenance problem on the road, including but not limited to the washing of dirt and gravel into the road, the public services director shall order that the property owner pave such portion of the driveway and/or driveway approach as is necessary to remove the maintenance problem. Portland cement concrete will only be allowed from the driveway up to the public right-of-way. This requirement shall not be construed to reduce paving otherwise required by performance standards in chapter 78 or required as a condition to the granting of a conditional use permit, lot division, subdivision or as designated in the approved site plan. (g) (e) Visibility from driveways to a local or collector street shall be unobstructed between a height of three and one-half feet and eight feet above grade (as measured along the driveway elevation), within triangular areas described as beginning at the point where driveway edges meet the street curb (or street pavement in the absence of a curb), thence 15 feet along the driveway edge, thence diagonally to a point 15 feet from the point of beginning along the street curb (or edge of street pavement in the absence of a curb). The owner of the property where any fence, wall, tree, shrubbery, vegetation, or other feature is proposed shall keep such obstructions out of the visibility triangles for their driveway and out of the visibility triangle for driveways on directly-abutting properties. The exception to the regulations in this subsection shall be where there is a mailbox and/or plantings within the visibility triangle that do not result in obstructions totaling more than three feet in width. Nothing in this subsection authorizes the use of public right-of-way for installation of fencing, walls, or plantings. The regulations contained in this Section shall not apply to conditions that legally existed prior to the effective date of this Chapter unless the City determines that such conditions constitute a traffic safety hazard. 17
