Legal Documents of Dandridge

No one shall cut, build, or maintain a driveway across a curb or sidewalk without first obtaining a permit from the building inspector. Such a permit will not be issued when the contemplated driveway is to be so located or constructed as to create an unreasonable hazard to pedestrian and/or vehicular traffic or impede the health, safety and welfare of the street or right-of-way. All driveways shall require a tile/culvert installed at the connection between the street and highway, said tile/culvert to be at least fifteen inches (15") in diameter. When two (2) or more adjoining driveways are provided for the same property a safety island of not less than ten feet (10') in width at its outer or street edge shall be provided. Driveway aprons shall not extend out into the street. There shall be no fee for obtaining a driveway cut or excavation permit. (1995 Code, § 16-210, modified)
