For the purpose of constructing a driveway approach,
no curb cut, opening or section broken out or removed shall exceed
40 feet.
The distance between any two consecutive curb
cuts shall be not less than 20 feet.
No portion of a driveway approach, except the
curb return, shall be constructed within 18 feet of a corner and in
no case closer than two feet to the property line extended.[1]

Editor's Note: Former Sec. 26-42, which immediately
followed this section and provided for curb return radius, was deleted
6-2-1986 by L.L. No. 3-1986.
No driveway approach shall interfere with municipal
facilities, such as streetlighting poles, traffic signal standards,
catch basins, hydrants, crosswalks, bus loading platforms, utility
poles, fire alarm supports, underground pipes or ducts or other necessary
street structures, and the City Traffic Commission is authorized to
order and effect the removal or reconstruction of any driveway approach
which now conflicts with street structures or which will conflict
with street structures in the future or which exceeds the maximum
width of curb cut. The cost of removing or reconstructing or relocating
such driveway approaches shall be at the expense of the abutting property
owner.

It shall be unlawful for any person to construct,
alter or extend or permit or cause to be constructed, altered or extended
any driveway approach which can be used only as a parking space or
area between the curb and private property.
All service station pumps, oil pits, wash racks
and islands shall be placed so that vehicles will not be stopped upon
the sidewalk or traveled roadway while being serviced.
It shall be unlawful for the owner, agent or
occupant of any property in connection with a driveway thereon to
use a wooden or metal approach extending from the street to the top
of the curb, regardless of whether the same clamps over the top of
the curb or not, and it shall also be unlawful for any person to place
dirt, ashes or other material in the gutter next to the curb for the
purpose of building up an approach for a driveway.
When it is desired to construct a driveway across
a curb and sidewalk, the curb may be removed, lowered or cut. The
remaining curb, or edge of the driveway approach at the gutter line
where the curb has been removed, shall project at least 3/4 inch
above the gutter line. The section of driveway across sidewalks shall
be constructed so that there shall be no abrupt changes in either
longitudinal or transverse grades. This shall not preclude the construction
of warped sections of sidewalk with gradual grade changes required
to meet existing elevations.
