A. The City
Manager shall issue a permit under this Article when he/she finds
any of the following:
1. The
work shall be done according to the standard specifications of the
City for such work.
2. The
operation will not unreasonably interfere with vehicular and pedestrian
traffic, the demand for parking spaces, and the means of ingress to
and from the property affected and adjacent properties.
3. A curb
opening shall be not less than twenty (20) feet nor more than twenty-eight
(28) feet and that the curb opening and driveway apron shall be of
concrete or hot asphalt concrete type surface. The opening shall be
tapered and eight (8) feet from the curb and shall be tapered to eight
(8) inch elevation at the top of the curb, or as directed by the City
Manager.
4. The
City or the property owner may install a driveway approach that shall
be tapered to four (4) feet from the face of the curb and shall be
elevated to the same elevation as the top of the curb four (4) feet
from the curb. The width of the curb opening would be a minimum of
twenty (20) feet and a maximum of twenty-eight (28) feet. The four
(4) foot wide driveway approach is not to be considered as meeting
all the design requirements but to be temporarily in partial compliance
with this Chapter to improve drainage. Edges of curb openings shall
be a minimum of five (5) feet from an adjacent property line. The
construction of, and maintenance of, driveway approaches shall be
the responsibility of the abutting property owner. The City may remove,
replace, or reconstruct any driveway approach in conjunction with
street, sidewalk, or drainage work.
5. Where there is no curb, the opening from the street to the property will be a minimum of twenty (20) feet and a maximum of twenty-eight (28) feet, and a corrugated metal pipe shall be placed, at a point designated by the City Manager, between the property line and the street. The cost of such pipe shall be paid by the property owner, and the pipe shall be installed by the City. The grade shall be the same as in Subsection
(3) of this Section.
6. On corner
lots driveways shall be twenty-five (25) feet from the intersecting
street right-of-way lines.

which have frontage on two (2) or more streets may have driveways
on each street in accordance with the above table. The distance between
driveway openings shall be a minimum of ten (10) feet measured at
the pavement edge or curb.
9. Driveways
shall not normally be depressed below the sidewalk grade at the street
edge of the sidewalk. However, where necessary to provide satisfactory
drainage toward the street or to avoid an excessive grade along the
centerline of the driveway, this may be permitted. If a depression
is necessary, such depression shall not exceed two (2) inches.
10. Driveways
shall be paved with a dust-proof material as approved by the City
Manager.

A. Cuts
in pavements, curbs, gutters and walks shall be no larger than necessary
to provide adequate working space for proper installation of pipe
and appurtenances. Cutting shall be started with a concrete saw in
a manner which will provide a clean groove at least one and one-half
(1½) inches deep along each side of the trench along the perimeter
of cuts for structures.
Pavement over trenches excavated for pipelines shall be removed
so that a shoulder not less than six (6) inches in width at any point
is left between the cut edge of the pavement and the top edge of the
trench. Trench width at the bottom shall not be greater than at the
top, and no undercutting will be permitted. Pavement cuts shall be
made to and between straight or accurately marked curved lines which,
unless otherwise required, shall be parallel to the centerline of
the trench.
B. Pavement
removed for connections to existing lines or structures shall not
be of greater extent than necessary for the installation as determined
by the City.
C. Where
the trench parallels the length of concrete walks and the trench location
is all or partially under the walk, the entire walk shall be removed
and replaced. Where the trench crosses drives, walks, curbs or other
surface construction, the surface construction shall be removed and
replaced between existing or between saw cuts as specified for pavement.
[CC 1988 §24-43; Ord. No. 2420 §4, 9-20-1971; Ord. No. 2490 §2, 12-3-1973; Ord. No. 2573 §1, 3-7-1977; Ord. No. 3259 §1, 5-20-1996]
The City shall surface any excavation in any street or alley
of the City and the total project cost, including materials and labor,
shall be paid for by the person making the excavation or causing the
excavation to be made. Upon application, the City will provide an
engineer's estimate of the total cost, which amount shall be paid
by the applicant to the City. Upon completion of the surfacing, the
City shall determine the actual project cost and applicant shall pay
to the City the difference between the actual project cost and the
engineer's estimate, or the City shall refund to applicant the difference
between the engineer's estimate and the actual project cost. The City
reserves the right to use a private construction contractor for surfacing
projects.

sewer service line to effect maintenance and/or repair, the cost of
surfacing shall be paid by the City.
