Public Works <br /> <br />REMOVAL OF NON-CONFORMING STREET ACCESS POLICY <br /> <br />Purpose <br /> <br />In an effort to increase public safety and to regulate access on to public streets, it <br />is important that that the City assist properties that currently have non- <br />conforming street accesses (which were grandfathered in) to become compliant <br />with current ordinances. <br /> <br /> The purpose of this policy is to be consistent with all properties that are <br />requesting the City to remove nonconforming street accesses that were <br />grandfathered in, and do so in a manner that increases safety on the pubic <br />roadways. <br /> <br /> <br />Policy <br /> <br />The City and its authorized agents, upon request of the property owner, will <br />remove all nonconforming street accesses that are within the City right-of-way, - <br />provided that they were installed before the ordinance that regulates them (made <br />them nonconforming) was adopted. <br /> <br />This will be done under the following requirements: <br />• The City and/or its authorized agents, upon request of the property owner, <br />will remove only that portion of the nonconforming street access that is <br />within the City right-of-way. <br />• The nonconforming street access must have been installed prior to the <br />ordinance that currently regulates it was adopted. <br />• The City and/or its authorized agents will remove the nonconforming street <br />access and replace it with cultured sod. <br />• The City and/or its authorized agents will be responsible for the viability of <br />the sodded area for a period of thirty (30) days from installation, after that <br />it will be the property owner’s responsibility. <br />• It is the responsibility of the property owner to remove all items within the <br />right-of-way for such work to occur. The City and/or its authorized agents <br />will not be responsible for damage to private property located within the <br />City’s right-of-way. <br /> <br />As this is a policy, the City Council reserves the right to deviate from this policy if <br />it is in the best interest of the City. <br /> <br /> <br /> _____________________ <br />City Administrator Date <br /> <br />Effective Date: June 13, 2005 <br />Revision Date:
