A. Rural profile streets. On municipal streets that are designed and
constructed to a rural profile, the construction of a concrete driveway
from the road edge is no closer than four feet. The only improved
surface that connects a private drive to this type of public street
is either asphaltic cement or No. 2 crushed limestone, compacted with
screenings. Nothing in this section shall be construed to limit the
construction of a concrete cement driveway on private property. In
addition, the width of a driveway between the paved or gravel street
edge and the property line shall be a minimum of 12 feet and a maximum
of 24 feet; however, a maximum radius of three feet is allowed where
the driveway meets the street edge. In no case shall a driveway extend
into the right-of-way so as to cross the extension of the side property
line unless approved by the Director of Public Works.
B. Urban profile streets. On municipal streets that are designed and
constructed to an urban profile, the construction of a concrete driveway
is permitted within the right-of-way. The only type of improved surface
that connects a private drive to this type of public street is either
asphaltic cement or concrete cement. In addition, the width of a driveway
between the street pavement and the property line shall be a minimum
of 12 feet and a maximum of 24 feet; however, a maximum radius of
three feet is allowed where the driveway meets the street edge. In
no case shall a driveway extend into the right-of-way so as to cross
the extension of the side property line unless approved by the Superintendent
of Streets.
C. The Director of Public Works will make the determination when the
ditch line is not present.
