Inspection of the work, escrow amount and fees.

Prior to construction of the driveway and installation of the culvert, the applicant shall meet with the Town Board or its designee at the site to inspect the site, to determine the location of the driveway or field approach, and to determine the scope of the work to be performed. Every new driveway or field approach shall also be required to have an inspection after the work is completed.

Applicant shall establish with the Township an escrow fund for any costs incurred by the Township relating to the construction of the driveway or installation of the culvert including, but not limited to, repairing damage to any roadways as a result of the construction of the driveway and the installation of the culvert, turf establishment and removing an unacceptable driveway. The escrow amount shall be collected even if there is an existing driveway on the property. The amount of the initial escrow shall be established by a resolution of the Town Board. If additional escrow is required or bills incurred beyond the escrow amount, applicant shall be billed directly for such costs and applicant agrees to furnish additional monies as requested by the Township. Any amounts not utilized from this escrow fund shall be returned to the applicant, without interest, when all improvements have been completed, all financial obligations to the Township have been satisfied, and the Town Board has approved the final inspection.

However, an additional fee as determined by the Town Board shall be required if the applicant installs the driveway or field approach prior to obtaining a permit or scheduling an inspection by the Township. This additional nonrefundable permit application fee is to cover the Township's additional inspection and administrative costs.

After construction is completed, the applicant shall notify the Township that the work has been completed and is ready for final inspection and approval by the Town Board or its designee.

(5)

No changes or alterations in the approved construction may be made at any time without the written consent of the Town Board or its designee.

Driveway property rights.

The owner of a buildable lot may be the sole owner of the driveway that is 33 feet wide and provides access to a public road as required by these ordinances.

The owner of a buildable lot may satisfy the requirement that the lot have 33 feet of frontage on a public road by obtaining a permanent easement on an adjacent parcel (the servient parcel) that provides the buildable lot with permanent access to the public road by way of a thirty-three-foot driveway easement. The easement will be in a form acceptable to the Township and will be recorded against both properties in the Dakota County Property Records. The terms of the easement will ensure that it will not be voluntarily revoked or involuntarily revoked while the building erected on the lot in reliance on the easement for satisfaction of ordinance requirements remains. If the building is destroyed or removed, the easement must remain in place to protect the owner's right to rebuild at the owner's discretion.

Driveway sharing. Owners of two up to four lots may agree to share and maintain a driveway or any portion thereof to access an existing public road.
