In urban areas where present traffic counts indicate a minor street, with near future traffic volumes pre- dicting a major street, the major street class- ification shall be used by the City Engineer. Subd. B. Driveway Width Dimensions. The recommended, minimum, or maximum driveway dimensions for the property site along a street are set forth in Table I. In all cases, the driveway must ac- commodate the types of vehicles using it. Subd. C. Driveway Profile. The vertical profile of a driveway shall meet the criteria established herein. (1) No street Edge Curb (Cut Section) . -4- (aa) From the edge of the traveled way or pavement to the outer edge of the shoulder, the vertical profile shall be the same as the pitch of the shoul- der. (bb) From the outer edge of the shoulder to the low point at the ditch line (or over a culvert) the maximum al- lowable downward gradient shall be eight (8 ) percent. (cc) Beyond the ditch line (or culvert) the maximum allowable gradient shall be eight (8) percent for commercial driveways and fifteen (15) percent for other driveways. A 8 C ' D PROFILE IN CUT SECTION A to B = Same pitch as shoulder slope. B to C = 8% max. (Min.pitch same as • shoulder slope) . C to D = 8% max. for commercial drive- ways, 15% for others. (2) No street Edge Curb (Fill Section) . (aa) From the edge of the traveled way or pavement to the outer edge of the shoulder, the vertical profile shall be the same as the pitch of the shoul- der. (bb) Beyond the outer edge of the shoulder, the maximum allowable gradient shall be eight (8) percent for commercial driveways and fifteen (15) percent for other driveways. Q A 8 PROFILE IN FILL SECTION C A to B = Same as shoulder slope. B to C = 8% max. for commercial drive- ways, 15% for others. -5- (3) With street Edge Curb. (aa) The driveway profile shall slope up- ward from the gutter to meet the side- wal, if any, or to a minimum height equal to the curb height, with a max- imum difference between the downward cross slope of the traveled way or pavement and the upward slope of the driveway to equal ten (10) percent. (bb) Beyond outer edge of sidewalk or equiv- alent, the maximum allowable gradient shall be eight (8) percent for commer- cial driveways and fifteen (15) per- cent for other driveways.

Permanent surfacing may be required where, in the opinion of the City Engineer, it is felt that there may be excessive erosion and maintenance at or near the street. Subd. .E. Diversion Flume. A drainage flume may be re- quired for deflecting water from driveway edges to ditch bottom for preventing erosion. Spec- ifications to be determined by the City Engineer. This flume shall be bituminous or concrete. 82-6. CORNER CLEARANCE. The minimum dimensions for corner clearances are listed in Table I. The City Engineer shall determine if the presence of bus stops, sepa- rate turning lanes, skew or complex intersections, un- usually wide roadways, or heavy traffic generators warrants greater corner clearances. 82-7. DRIVEWAY ANGLE. Driveway angle "Y" shall not be less than sixty (60) degrees where two way vehicular traf- fic is anticipated. Angles between sixty (60) degrees and forty-five (45) degrees are acceptable for one- way vehicular traffic where no pedestrian conflict ex- ists. 82-8 . EDGE CLEARANCE. The minimum dimensions for edge clear- ances are listed in Table I. All portions of the driveway should be within the frontage boundary line. 82-9. EFFECT OF CHANGE OF CONDITIONS. In the event of a change in land use or major change in the traffic pattern of the existing facility, existing driveways are not automatically perpetuated and new driveway access applications shall be submitted. 82-10. EFFECT OF VIOLATION OF PERMIT. If the terms of the permit are violated, or if the City Engineer deter- mines that continuance of a driveway access is par- ticularly hazardous, the City Council may require re- vision of the access. 82-11. USE OF RIGHT-OF-WAY LIMITED. No part of the right- of-way of a city street may be used for servicing of vehicles or the conduct of private business. -7- 82. 12 ACCESS CONTROL - DUAL DRIVEWAYS. The area between driveways for the same property shall be so con- structed or improved that traffic on the highway and on the property will in fact be separated. In plat- ted areas where a sidewalk extends to the property line, a curb is required at least four (4) inches wide and four (4) inches high above the sidewalk along the inside edge of the lot line and extending for at least the full distance of the sidewalk. Where no sidewalk ex- ists, this traffic separation may be obtained by the planting of a hedge or the construction of an island. Such an island or planting can only be placed on the right-of-way under permit from the City. 82. 13 VARIANCE. A variance from the standards set forth in this regulation may be allowed by the City Council when the variance will facilitate the safe, efficient use of the property for a lawful purpose and will not interfere with the construction, maintenance or safe and efficient use of the street and its appurtenances by the public. 82.14 EXISTING DRIVEWAYS. Any existing driveway that does not comply with the provisions of the regulations herein set forth and causes damage to the public right-of-way due to erosion, or constitutes a traffic hazard, shall be required to be brought into compliance. The owner of the property having the non-complying driveway shall be notified by certified mail directed to the property address, by the City to appear at a meeting of the City Council to review the situation. The City shall require the City Engineer or the Building In- spector to inspect the driveway and present a report on or before the date of Council meeting at which the matter is to be discussed with the property owner, as specified in the notice, or at such other date as may be agreed upon between the City and the owner.

Failure of the owner to appear shall not invalidate the proceeding. The City shall in all cases send written notification of 81 -8- the findings and action of the Council to the property owner by certified mail. Failure of the owner to seek a driveway permit and correct the condition within the time limit specified by the City, without having re- quested and received a Variance as herein provided, shall result in the City having the authority to cor- rect the condition in the right-of-way and to certify the expense of such correction, including engineering, legal, and fiscal expenses, to the County Auditor to be included for collection with the real estate taxes for the property. The City may elect to pursue legal remedies other than abatement of the nuisance herein described. 82. 15. VIOLATIONS. Violation of any provision of this Chapter shall constitute a misdemeanor punishable as provided in Chapter 230 of the Hugo City Code. 82. 16. EFFECTIVE DATE.
