§ 62-74. Permit required.

No curb shall be cut, removed, or altered in any way for the purpose of constructing a driveway, nor may any driveway be constructed to the curbline, without first obtaining a permit to do so from the department of public works. The permit shall be issued only to the owner of the premises or his authorized agent. In all cases where the driveway is to be used by the public as in a business or commercial establishment, a plat or plan showing the proposed driveway shall be submitted to the public works department for examination and approval prior to issuing the permit. The plat shall be accurately drawn to scale, with all principal dimensions shown. The plat shall show the location of all existing curbs, sidewalks, storm drain inlets and pipes, sewer lines, streetlights, and all other public service and utility equipment, and trees and shrubs, in the right-of-way abutting the property. It shall also show the proposed location of all buildings, tanks, pump islands, and all other structures the applicant proposes to construct on the property, their dimensions, and their location relative to the street and property lines. The public works department may require any changes in the plan as may be necessary to conform with county specifications. When any provision of the resolution is in conflict with the provision of another county resolution, the more restrictive of the two shall control. The public works department may refuse to issue the permit in any case when the proposed curb cut clearly opposes the public interest.
