STAFF REPORT
DATE: April 3, 2018
CONSENT
ITEM #: 15
MOTION
TO: City Council
FROM: Emily Becker, Planning Director
AGENDA ITEM: Driveway Ordinance and Fee Schedule Amendments
REVIEWED BY: Jack Griffin, City Engineer
Rob Weldon, Public Works Director
BACKGROUND:
An amendment to the driveway ordinance was an item on the 2018 Planning Department Work Plan. This
was in response to Staff review of driveway permit application requesting a second curb cut. Public
Works and Engineering Staff indicated that there is a general lack of support for second curb cuts, as
there is more potential for damage to city streets and curbs and more cost involved during street work
projects. Additionally, the language within the ordinance does not make it clear which conditions or
situations in which the City should allow a second curb cut, and it leaves the decision up to the City
Engineer without any specifying criteria.
PROPOSAL DETAILS/ANALYSIS:
Proposed Change. In order to make it clearer which properties may be exempt from the requirement that
curb cuts are limited to one per residential properties, Staff is proposing the following changes:
• Clarifies that up to two curb cuts are allowed (as opposed to three or four).
• Clarifies “major street” by specifying that access cannot be on to a collector or arterial street.
• Requires there be a minimum of 40 feet of spacing between driveway curb radii.
• Requires that the total width of both driveways does not exceed 26 feet (i.e. there can be two 13
foot wide driveways).
• Requires Engineer review for collector or arterial streets. There is already the requirement that
engineering review new driveways requested on a county or state highway. Engineering standards
also require review of new driveways on collector and arterial streets, but this is not codified in
the ordinance.
Proposed Additional Fees.
• Driveway with No Curb Cut. Currently, the flat cost for a residential driveway permit is $70,
and this includes replacing a driveway as-is or expanding a driveway without causing additional
alterations to the curb cut, as well as driveways that require curb cuts. Staff recommends that
there be a fee for a driveway with no curb cut of $50. This includes plan review and inspections
by both Planning and Public Works. Fees for driveways with curb cuts on residential streets are
proposed to be amended to $100.
2
• Driveways with new curb cuts on collector or arterial street or county or state highway.
Because driveways on such streets are required to be reviewed by the City Engineer, there is
additional cost to the City involved. The fee for this is proposed to be $150 (additional $50 for
City Engineer review).
• Additional Curb Cut Fee. There is additional cost with having to restore a second driveway
patch during street projects. The costs varies for each driveway and each project based on unit
prices for each project. 2017 street project cost $700 for each concrete driveway and $250 for a
bituminous driveway. Therefore, it makes sense to charge an additional fee to help cover those
additional costs for street projects incurred by the additional driveway and possibly deter a second
curb cut. The proposed additional cost for a second curb cut is $100.
• Security. In order to ensure that curb cuts do not cause damage to city infrastructure, a $1,000
security for each curb cut is being proposed. The City’s right-of-way ordinance already requires
performance security to ensure the availability of sufficient funds to assure that right-of-way
excavation and obstruction work is completed. The right-of-way ordinance states that if 36
months after completion of the restoration of the right-of-way the right-of-way has been properly
restored, the security shall be released.
• Additional Amendments to the Fee Schedule. Staff saw the proposed amendment to the fee
schedule to add additional driveway permit fees as an opportunity to add additional fees in order
to cover Staff time:
o Final Plat Extension Fee. The current Subdivision Regulations ordinance allows final
plats to be extended as approved by Council. There is no fee to cover staff time to prepare
reports and make presentations requesting this, and so Staff proposes a fee of $100 to
cover Staff time.
o Development Agreement Amendment Fee. Staff has seen a number of requests lately
to amend development agreements. These amendments are quite time consuming and
require input from a number of City Staff, which may include but is not limited to the
City Attorney, City Engineer, Administrator, Finance Director, and Building Official.
Staff proposes a fee of $500 for this request.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends, as part of tonight’s Consent Agenda, that Council adopt Ord. 08-206 making
amendments to the City’s Driveway Ordinance and Ord. 08-207 making amendments to the City’s fee
schedule. If removed from the Consent Agenda, the following recommended motions may be made:
“Move to adopt Ord. 08-206 amending the City’s Driveway Ordinance.”
“Move to adopt Ord. 08-207 amending the City’s fee schedule to decrease driveway permit fees with no
curb cut; increase driveway fees with curb cuts; adding an additional fee for a second curb cut; adding
a development agreement amendment fee; and adding a final plat extension fee.”
“Move to adopt Resolution 2018-039 authorizing summary publication of Ord. 08-207.”
