§ 146-141. Driveways and sidewalks not to be installed without permit.
Latest version.
No person or public body shall remove a curb; install a driveway or sidewalk abutting
his or its property in the city, without first having obtained a permit from the director
of the department of public works. Application for such permit shall be in a form
and manner designated by the director of public works, and shall include the name
and address of the applicant and the dimensions and location of such driveway or sidewalk
being altered or installed. Such form shall include the name and address of the person
or public body desiring to install a driveway and/or sidewalk and the dimensions and
location. For purposes of this division, a driveway is defined as every way or place,
located within the street right-of-way, which provides a means of vehicular travel
between the street roadway and property abutting such street. Sidewalk means the portion
of the street between the curblines, or the lateral lines of the street and the adjacent
property lines, intended for the use of pedestrians. In no event shall any drainage
mechanism on the public right-of-way be paved. Failure to secure a permit as provided
herein is deemed a nuisance, and violations shall be subject to the procedures for
administrative adjudications provided in Chapter 6, Article II of the Code.
