Title 12 STREETS, SIDEWALKS AND PUBLIC PLACES
Chapter 12.16 CULVERTS, UNDERDRAINS AND CURB CUTS
12.16.040 Permits.
A. No person shall begin construction of driveway culverts or
roadside underdrains, nor shall any person break or cut away any portion of any
curb or gutter now or hereafter laid or established on any street, alley or
public way, without first having secured a permit from the village
administrator. The village administrator, however, shall not issue any permit
under this chapter for any private access way or for the breaking or removing of
any curb where the proposed opening would create any undue hazard to pedestrians
or create a traffic hazard.
B. Any person intending to begin such construction or curb
cut shall so notify the village administrator in writing, and shall submit plans
or drawings showing the nature and location of the proposed construction or curb
cut. Also, before a permit will be issued for a curb cut onto a state
right-of-way, a copy of an approved permit from the State Department of
Transportation shall be submitted to the village administrator.
C. Before issuance of the permit, the village administrator
shall inspect the site of the proposed construction and shall inform the
applicant in writing of any changes to the plans or drawings necessary to ensure
compliance with this chapter. Also, any person installing an accessway through a
curb break shall notify the village administrator not less than twenty-four
hours prior to the placing of concrete on improved streets, so that the forms
may be inspected prior to the pouring of the concrete.
D. After completion of the construction, the applicant shall
so notify the village administrator who shall inspect the completed construction
to insure that it has been built in compliance with this chapter and with any
requirements specified upon the issuance of the permit. If the completed
construction is satisfactory, the village administrator shall issue a
certificate of compliance. (Ord. 1978-12 § 4, 1978)
