The fee for all such driveway construction shall be set from

No driveway shall be so constructed or graded as to leave a
step, sharp depression or other obstruction in the sidewalk. The grade
shall be as nearly as possible the same as that of the adjoining sidewalk.
It shall be unlawful to have the surface finish of any driveway where
the same crosses the sidewalk constructed of such materials as to
render it slippery and hazardous to pedestrians, or to have the grade
of such portion vary from the grade of the sidewalk or be other than
level.
Driveways across sidewalks shall be constructed in compliance
with the specifications required by the Street Superintendent.
Before a permit can be issued to break a curb in the Village
for the installation of a driveway or any other purpose, a bond or
cash in the amount of $100 is required to be posted with the Village
Clerk.
It shall be the duty of the person maintaining the driveway
to keep the same in good repair where it crosses the sidewalk and
free from obstruction and openings.
