[Adopted by as Sec. 16-3 of the 1993 Revised General Ordinances]
It shall be unlawful for any person to tear up, dig into, break up, displace or excavate any of the existing curbs for the purpose of installing driveways in the Township without first obtaining a permit therefor from the Construction Official. A separate permit will be required for each opening made. The permit shall state the location and approximate size of the opening to be made. No permit shall be deemed to authorize anything not stated in the permit.[1]

Editor's Note: Original Sec. 16-3.2, Fee, which previously followed this section, was deleted at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General Provisions, Art. II).
The work on any opening to be made for driveways to be installed under such permit shall be commenced within 10 days from the date of such permit and the work prosecuted with due diligence to its completion. If for any reason work is not commenced within such ten-day period, the permit shall be void unless within such ten-day period the applicant shall present the permit to the Construction Official, who shall extend the time for the beginning of such work for another period of 10 days by endorsement on the permit. No permit so extended shall be valid unless the work thereunder shall commence within 10 days from the date of such endorsement.
The driveways to be installed shall be in strict accordance with the provisions of this article and the Plan of Standard Driveways on file in the office of the Township Clerk which is hereby incorporated by reference as a part of this article. A copy of such plan is available for inspection and review by the public in the office of the Construction Official.
There shall be no variance from the plan on file with the Township Clerk unless application has been made and approved by the Zoning Board of Adjustment.
