Sec.18-81.-Construdion requirements generally.
<br /> In addition to the rules,regulations and specifications as outlined in this article by the public services director
<br /> with respect to the improvements listed in this article,the following requirements shall be complied with when
<br /> work is done under the provisions of this article:
<br /> (1) All driveway approaches shall intersect the road pavement at an angle to be approved by the public
<br /> services director based upon the physical characteristics of the public road,driveway approach and the
<br /> parcel of land being accessed.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 consent,
<br /> if necessary,shall be submitted to the public services director prior to the issuance of a permit.
<br /> (3) The top of the paving of the driveway approach slab at the curbline shall be 15/8 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 process
<br /> of constructing the driveway unless previous approval,in writing,has been granted by the public services
<br /> director.
<br /> (4) Driveway culverts shall be provided and installed by the owner as required by the public services director.
<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 the
<br /> 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 any
<br /> 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,the
<br /> driveway shall be constructed off the lead-in portion of the road and not the cul-de-sac.
