All private driveways hereafter constructed
across any pavement shall be of a width not less than eight feet and

Before any private driveway may be constructed
across a sidewalk and before any curb cut may be made, a permit shall
be obtained from the Borough of Coudersport. All driveways shall be
laid according to specifications furnished by the Borough of Coudersport
at the time the permit is granted.
The fee for a driveway or curb cut permit shall
be $5 as set by the Borough Council of the Borough of Coudersport.
All paved portions of the sidewalk must not
be disturbed, and the height and grade of same must remain the same
as before the driveway was constructed. The balance of the pavement
shall remain the same height and grade as before the construction
of the driveway.
In case any person shall construct a driveway
or a curb cut and shall not conform to the requirements of this article,
the Borough Council of the Borough of Coudersport may order such person,
firm or corporation to remove the improper work and replace the same
in compliance with this article. Notice to remove and replace improper
work shall be given by registered or certified mail, and shall state
that the person, firm or corporation shall have 30 days from receipt
of the notice to comply therewith. Upon noncompliance, the Municipality
may do or cause the requested repairs to be done and may levy the
cost of its work on such owner as a property lien to be collected
in any manner provided by law.
Any person, firm or corporation who shall fail
to obtain a permit before constructing a private driveway or making
a curb cut shall, upon conviction thereof, be sentenced to pay a fine
not more than $300, and/or to imprisonment for a term not to exceed
90 days. Each day that a violation of this article continues shall
constitute a separate offense.
