12.12.020 Permit required.

No driveway shall be constructed which intersects a public street unless a permit has first been obtained from the city for such construction. The permit shall be applied for in the same manner as are building permits. If a private drive is to be built in conjunction with the construction of a structure for which a building permit is required, the driveway permit may be issued as a part of the building permit. Fees for driveway permits shall be computed in the same manner as for building permits. There shall be submitted with the application for a driveway permit a plan of the driveway showing its width, location of entry to the street in reference to intersections or curves and its proximity to fire hydrants, transformer pads and any other obstructions located in the public right-of-way. There shall also be submitted the profile of the centerline of the proposed private drive showing the percent of grade along its entire length and the length and design of transitional vertical curves. Elevations of the driveway at its entrance to the street and at its terminus shall be shown. On review of the plan and profile and payment of all fees required, the building official shall issue a permit for construction if the plan and profile meet the requirements of this section.
