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 City of DuBois. All driveways shall be laid according to specifications
furnished by the City of DuBois at the time the permit is granted.
The fee for a driveway or curb cut permit shall be fixed pursuant
to resolution of the City Council.
All paved portions of the sidewalk must not be disturbed, and
the height and grade of same must remain 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 City
of DuBois may order such person, firm or corporation to remove the
improper work and replace the same in compliance with this article.
Notice to improve and replace improper work shall be given by registered
or certified mail and shall state that the person, firm or corporation
shall have 60 days from receipt of the notice to comply therewith.
Upon noncompliance, the City of DuBois 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.
