[Adopted 10-29-1995 by Ord. No. 74 (Ch.
21, Part 2, of the 1994 Code)]
All private driveways hereafter constructed
across any pavement shall be of a width not less than eight feet and
the curb shall be curved back to the street edge of the footwalk on
a radius of 1 1/2 feet.
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 Bonneauville. All driveways shall
be laid according to specifications furnished by the Borough of Bonneauville
at the time the permit is granted.
The fee for a driveway or curb cut permit shall
be fixed pursuant to a resolution of the Borough Council.
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 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 the receipt of the notice to
comply therewith. Upon noncompliance, the Borough 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.
[Amended at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General
Provisions, Art. I)]
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 in a summary proceeding under the
Pennsylvania Rules of Criminal Procedure, be guilty of a summary offense
and shall be punishable by a fine of not more than $1,000, plus court
costs and reasonable attorneys' fees incurred by the Borough in the
enforcement proceedings. Upon judgment against any person by summary
conviction, or by proceedings by summons on default of the payment
of the fine or penalty imposed and the costs, the defendant may be
sentenced and committed to the county correctional facility for a
period not exceeding 30 days. Each day that such violation exists
shall constitute a separate offense, and each section of this article
that is violated shall also constitute a separate offense.
