Chapter 263: Driveways
[HISTORY: Adopted by the Village Board of the Village of Dane 4-1-1996 as Title 6, Ch. 3, of the 1996 Code. Amendments noted where applicable.]
Chapter 263 : Driveways
§ 263-2 Permit required. [1]
No person, firm or corporation shall construct, reconstruct, alter or enlarge any private driveway within the limits of the dedicated portion of any public street under the control and jurisdiction of the Village of Dane without first obtaining a driveway permit therefor as provided by this chapter. A driveway permit is not required when a new driveway is to be constructed in conjunction with the construction of a new principal structure; the driveway is included in the building permit process in such cases.
Application for such permit shall be made to the Village Clerk-Treasurer on a form provided by the Village and shall be accompanied by a drawing accurately depicting the portion of the proposed private driveway to be constructed, reconstructed, altered or enlarged lying within the dedicated portion of the public street, the dimensions thereof and a statement of the materials proposed to be used. The fee for a driveway permit shall be set by the Village Board. Upon receipt of the application and the fee, if required, unless the proposed private driveway is a part of construction for a building or other structure for which a building permit has been applied for, in which case no additional fee is required, the Village Clerk-Treasurer shall approve such application if the proposed driveway complies with the terms and conditions of this chapter and any other applicable Village ordinance.[1]
All driveway permit applications shall contain the applicant's statement that:
The permittee, or his successors or assigns, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Village of Dane, its officials, officers, agents or employees against any claim or any cause of action for personal injury or property damage sustained by reason of the exercise of such permit.
The Village of Dane requires the curb to be saw cut with the flow line staying intact. The Village may require the property owner to replace curb at the property owner's expense if flow line is disturbed. The Village will not allow the curb back to be removed. The property owner shall notify the Director of Public Works for driveway entrances. [Refer also to § 463-15D(4).]
[Added 6-2-2003]
Terrace area. The terrace area in the street right-of-way between successive driveways or adjoining a driveway and between the highway shoulder and right-of-way shall constitute a restricted area and may be filled in and graded only as provided in Subsection F.[1]
Reconstruction of sidewalks and curb and gutter. When the construction of a driveway requires the removal of a curb or gutter, the new connections shall be of equivalent acceptable material, and curb returns shall be provided or restored in a neat, workmanlike manner. The driveway surface shall be connected with the highway pavement and the sidewalk, if any, in a neat, workmanlike manner. The driveway construction shall include the replacement of such sidewalk areas which are inadequate or which are or may be damaged by means of vehicle travel across the sidewalk.
Construction across sidewalks. All driveway entrances and approaches which are constructed across sidewalks shall be of concrete constructed in accordance with the requirements for sidewalk construction in § 457-5 of this Code insofar as such requirements are applicable, including thickness requirements.
Terrace areas. Where the public sidewalk is adjacent to the curb, a terrace of a minimum length of six feet measured along the curbline shall be placed between each entrance to a Village street. The curb shall be left intact for the length of this terrace. Where the public sidewalk is remote from the curb, a terrace of a minimum length of 10 feet measured along the right-of-way line shall be maintained along each entrance to the Village street. All flares shall be tangent to the curbline. A curb length of not less than three feet shall be left undisturbed adjacent to each property line to serve as a terrace area in the event an adjoining property owner applies for a driveway permit to serve his property.[1]
Any person feeling himself aggrieved by the refusal of the Village Clerk-Treasurer to issue a permit for a private driveway may appeal such refusal to the Village Board within 20 days after such refusal to issue such permit is made.
No person, firm or corporation shall place, construct, or locate, or cause to be placed, constructed or located, any obstruction or structure within the limits of any public road, highway or street in the Village of Dane except as permitted by this chapter. As used herein, the word "structure" includes a private driveway, a portion of which extends into any public road, highway or street and which is in nonconformance with this chapter.
Size. Culverts shall be installed prior to construction work being commenced on the property served. No pipe smaller than 12 inches in diameter (or equivalent elliptical or arch pipe) will be allowed. All culverts shall be constructed of galvanized steel or reinforced concrete and shall be made of new manufacture, unless specifically excepted by the Director of Public Works or Village Engineer.
Backfill material. Material used for backfill shall be of a quantity acceptable to the Village Engineer or Director of Public Works and shall be free from frozen lumps, wood, or other extraneous or perishable materials. The minimum cover, measured from the top of the pipe to the top of the subgrade, shall be six inches.
Distance. The distance between culverts under successive driveways shall not be less than 10 feet, except as such restricted area is permitted to be filled pursuant to § 263-4F.
