[Ord. 6/26/79 § 504; Ord. 2006-17 § 1; Ord. No. 2017-12 § 4; amended 3-8-2022 by Ord. No. 2022-04]
All driveways must run from any public street, highway or thoroughfare directly to an attached or detached garage located on the property. Installation of new driveways shall not disturb existing street trees. Common, combined driveways are prohibited, and U-shaped driveways are discouraged. The minimum width of any driveway shall be nine (9) feet, and shall not be more than ten (10) feet wide from the public right-of-way to the front building line of the dwelling. Driveways shall not be constructed of any material other than brick, concrete, asphalt, or other similar rigid, nonporous material.
Paving strips or ribbon driveways are hereby prohibited. However, if the applicant can establish by competent evidence that paving strips or ribbon driveways had historically been present at the property, the Board has the discretion to grant an exception for the same. In that event, the "gap" between the paving strips or ribbon driveway shall be deemed to be an impervious surface and included in the calculation for impervious coverage.
Driveway curb cuts shall be limited to those necessary to service driveways of no greater than ten (10) feet, and shall not be wider than twelve (12) feet. Vehicular parking is encouraged behind the front of the dwelling and discouraged in front yards.
