Hanson <br />Based on the direction at the June 14Th Council meeting, attached is an ordinance <br />establishing permit requirements for new, reconstructed, expanded, or altered driveways. <br />The purpose for initiating a driveway permit requirement is to ensure that driveway <br />locations, curb cut number and widths, as well as drainage issues are addressed and meet <br />Code requirements. As you will recall, all of the surrounding cities have a driveway <br />permitting process in place specifically for these reasons. <br />The Building Official is recommending that the driveway permit fee be set at $25.00. <br />This fee will cover time spent in reviewing driveway site plans to ensure compliance with <br />the Code. <br />In addition to establishing a driveway permit requirement, this proposed ordinance also <br />eliminates a reference from Chapter 301, Uniform Building Code Adoption, dealing with <br />driveways. Given the City's driveway design standards outlined in Section 904.050.D., <br />this reference appears to have no real purpose. <br />Staff recommends adoption of the proposed ordinance as submitted as well as <br />establishment of a driveway permit fee in the amount of $25.00. <br />
