8.64.100 Permits--Areas of limited street improvement.

(a) Where standard gutters and curbs have been installed but concrete sidewalks have not been, the permit may authorize the applicant to construct the driveway approach from the curb line to the applicant's premises of the same materials as those used for paving applicant's premises. Such driveway approach shall be constructed to established grade and shall be adequate and suitable for the traffic to be carried by it. The permit shall provide, and the applicant shall agree, that if and when thereafter concrete sidewalks are constructed the applicant or his successor shall install concrete driveway approaches.
(b) Where standard gutters and curbs have not been installed, the apron lengths set forth in Section 8.64.070 shall be measured along the property line and there shall be not less than twenty feet of frontage between driveway approaches serving any one property. Permits shall not be issued for any surface improvement or paving on the street right-of-way between driveway approaches unless a concrete curb or other physical obstruction, of a design satisfactory to the director of public works, is constructed and maintained by the applicant along his property line, so that the entrance and exit of vehicles to and from applicant's property will be restricted to the established driveway approaches. Pursuant to the permit provided for herein, applicant may surface the driveway approaches or other areas within the right-of-way by extending the same type of paving used on applicant's premises so that it merges with the street pavement, provided applicant's paving is adequate and suitable for the traffic to be carried, and does not interfere with proper street drainage. Such paving between the property line and the street pavement may meet the street pavement at a point ahead of the curb opening in order to provide for safe deceleration of vehicles turning into the applicant's premises. If applicant's paving is extended beyond the property line into a street right-of-way at an intersection or crossroad, the director of public works may require applicant to construct a suitable traffic island or curb to provide for the protection of such municipal facilities as may be necessary.
