The owner of the property and the contractor applying for
a driveway permit.
The Board of Supervisors being the governing body of East
Coventry Township, Chester County, Pennsylvania.
That portion of a street or alley paved or otherwise intended

line to the intersection of the other side lot line.
The horizontal distance between the side lot lines of a lot (or in the case or a corner lot, between the side lot line and the opposite front lot line of the lot) measured at and along the building setback line. The measurement of lot width at and along the building setback line shall be as provided in and by the definition "building setback line" in the East Coventry Township Subdivision and Land Development Ordinance [Chapter 22].
The normal and customary repair or upkeep required to insure
the continued proper use of a driveway, excluding such repair and
upkeep that would affect stormwater runoff characteristics.
A hard-wearing road surface such as black top/macadam or

The edge of the main traveled portion of any street or highway,
exclusive of shoulders.
A permit issued by the Driveway Inspector for the penetration
and occupancy of the right-of-way area of a Township street by the
substantial improvement or installation and construction of a driveway
therein. All permits issued shall be conditional subject to final
inspection. Such final inspection may involve multiple inspections
in accordance with the Fee Schedule.
Any individual, firm, trust, condominium, partnership, joint
venture, unincorporated association, business association, or corporation,
whether public or private, or other legal entity cognizable at law.
The normal and customary maintenance or restoration to a
sound condition of all or part of a driveway. A substantial improvement,
as defined in this Part, and a change in the original design and specifications

alley, crosswalk, utility, sidewalk or for any other public or private
purpose.
The portion of a street, contiguous to the main traveled
portion, for accommodation of stopped vehicles, for emergency use

recently amended.
A strip of land, including the entire ultimate right-of-way
thereof, publicly owned, dedicated and accepted for public use, or
privately owned, abutting and furnishing access to more than one lot,
primarily serving, or intended to serve, as a means of vehicular and
pedestrian travel and which may also be used to provide space for
sewer, other utilities and sidewalks. The word "street" includes thoroughfare,
avenue, boulevard, court, drive, expressway, roadway, highway, lane,
alley, service street, marginal access street, road or similar terms.
The following categories of street are defined as follows:
ARTERIALA major street or highway with high vehicular speeds or high traffic volumes of considerable continuity and used primarily as a traffic artery between rural and urban areas.
|
Arterial streets may be either principal arterials or minor
arterials. Principal arterials serve major centers of activity and
carry the highest proportions of area travel and most of the trips
entering and leaving the Township, thus serving intra-area travel.
Minor arterials interconnect with and augment the principal arterial
system distributing travel to smaller centers of activity and allowing
for more access to adjoining properties than principal arterials.
|
COLLECTORA major street or highway which carries traffic from local streets to arterial streets.
|
Collector streets may be either major collectors or minor collectors.
Major collectors may provide access to centers of activity, connect
with principal arterials and allow for more access to adjoining properties
than minor collectors. Minor collectors serve more to collect traffic
from local streets and provide access to the smallest of activity
centers.
|
LOCALEvery public or private street used for access to abutting properties. Local streets may be primary distributor roadways, secondary distributor roadways or local access streets. A primary distributor roadway is the highest order local street which moves traffic from lower order local streets to collector and arterial streets. A secondary distributor roadway is the middle order local street which carries traffic from local access streets to primary distributor roadways. A local access street is the lowest order local street which serves no through function and provides the greatest degree of access.
Any landowner (whether legal or equitable), agent or such
landowner or tenant with the written permission of such landowner,
who makes or causes to be made a subdivision or a land development.
An improvement or improvements to a driveway shall be deemed
to be substantial if:
A previously unpaved driveway is to be paved and drainage facilities are to be modified or installed in order to meet the requirements of the East Coventry Township Stormwater Management Ordinance, Chapter 9.
|
Where no stormwater drainage improvements are included, the
paving of existing stone driveways shall be considered normal and
customary maintenance and repair.
|
A drainage pipe is to be installed or replaced under and across
the driveway at within a Township street right-of-way.
The original grade or design of a driveway is to be changed.
Any work done, or to be done, on a driveway that is likely to
create, increase or otherwise affect stormwater flow or discharge
within the cartway or right-of-way area of any Township street.
For the purposes of this Part, swale shall mean a depressed
portion of a driveway constructed of asphalt or concrete and designed
to carry or channel stormwater runoff.
The Township of East Coventry, Chester County, Pennsylvania.
A professional engineer, licensed as such by the Commonwealth
of Pennsylvania, duly appointed as the engineer for the Township.
[Ord. 195, 11/12/2012, § I]
1.
No driveway, in the Township, shall be laid out, opened, installed,
constructed or substantially improved unless it shall be in accordance
with the following:
A.
Any driveway that requires the penetration or occupancy of a state
highway right-of-way area shall be laid out, opened, installed, constructed
or substantially improved only in accordance with a permit issued
by the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation pursuant to the provisions
of Chapter 441 of Title 67 of the Pennsylvania Code. The provisions
of this Part shall not apply to any driveway entering, penetrating
or occupancy of state highway right-of-way.
B.
Any driveway that requires the penetration or occupancy of a Township
local, collector or arterial street right-of-way area shall be laid
out, opened, installed, constructed or substantially improved only
after issuance of a permit under this Part for such layout, opening,
installation, construction or substantial improvement and only in
accordance with the driveway standards established in this Part and
otherwise in strict compliance with the terms and conditions of the
permit.
C.
Except as herein provided, any driveway which causes silt, stone, debris or water to be deposited in a right-of-way area of any Township local, collector or arterial street shall be improved to eliminate said discharge. A driveway permit is required, as provided in Subsection 1A or 1B. In those instances where a Township street has adequate drainage facilities and the Driveway Inspector determines that directing run-off to the road right-of-way, but not the cartway, is an appropriate method of stormwater control the Driveway Inspector has the discretion to grant an exemption from the foregoing improvement requirements.
[Ord. 195, 11/12/2012, § I]
1.
Any person required to obtain a driveway permit under the terms of
this Part shall make application for the permit on a form approved

Information pertaining to the discharge of stormwater drainage and the means of sediment and erosion control during and after the proposed work shall comply with the East Coventry Township Stormwater Management Ordinance, Chapter 9, except when existing facilities are determined by the Driveway Inspector to be adequate and are not intended to be disturbed, modified or improved by such work. If the existing stormwater/drainage facilities are concluded by the Driveway Inspector to be inadequate, disturbed, modified or improved, or if the proposed or existing driveway surface is two feet or more above the lowest point of any swale intersecting the driveway, the drainage facilities shall be designed in accordance with the East Coventry Township Stormwater Management Ordinance [Chapter 9]. The exception granted under [Chapter 9] § 9-121, Subsection 1B, for paving existing stone driveways shall not apply when the existing or proposed driveway surface is two feet or more above the lowest point of any swale intersecting the driveway or the pool of water created by such dam across the swale would intersect another property or such pool of water would intersect the edge of the public right-of-way.

within one year from the date of issuance. If such work has not been
completed within one year from the date of permit issuance, the permit
shall become null and void.
[Ord. 195, 11/12/2012, § I]
1.
All driveways and related improvements shall be constructed and located in such a manner so as not to impair drainage or maintenance within any street right-of-way area, alter the stability of a roadway sub-grade, materially change the drainage of adjacent areas, interfere with the traveling public, present a hazard to the free movement of normal street traffic or create areas of undue traffic congestion on the highway. All surface water shall be detained on the applicants' property or development, and in no case shall the applicant direct or allow such surface water to exceed the requirements of the East Coventry Township Stormwater Management Ordinance, Chapter 9.
