§ 30-248. Access driveways.

In order to preserve the integrity of the public road system, access driveways will be controlled to the maximum extent possible. Specific requirements are as follows:

(1)

Driveways shall not exceed thirty (30) feet in width unless approved by the county engineer.

(2)

No driveway shall be permitted within seventy (70) feet of an intersection. This measurement shall be made from the centerline of the proposed driveway to the nearest right-of-way line of the intersecting street as measured along the adjacent right-of-way line.

(3)

The number of driveways to be provided for any individual site shall be the minimum number required to adequately serve the needs of the property or development. The following shall serve as guidelines for the number of driveways that will be permitted per site:

a.

Parcels with frontage of one hundred (100) feet or less will be limited to one (1) driveway.

b.

No more than two (2) driveways will be permitted for any individual site.

c.

Additional driveways may be permitted with the approval of the county engineer, provided that only the minimum number of driveways required to adequately serve the need of the proposed development shall be permitted and all other requirements of this section are met.

(4)

Driveway radii are to be constructed within the limits of the frontage boundary of the property for which they serve.

(5)

Driveways shall be as nearly at right angles to the roadway as practical.

(6)

On streets with standard curb and gutter, driveways with adequate radii for the use intended and valley gutter shall be required.

(7)

Parking, stopping, and maneuvering of vehicles on the right-of-way shall not be permitted. Site development shall be designed to provide adequate on-site parking and maneuvering for all vehicles.

(8)

No driveway shall be permitted which necessitates backing of vehicles on the right-of-way.

(9)

Improvements to the public road to which any driveway would connect will be required when necessary to ensure safe and adequate ingress and egress to the site.
