§ 30-23. Elimination of driveway cuts.

(a)

When the improvements on, or the use of property which is being served by a driveway, is so changed that the driveway, in the opinion of the community development department, is not needed, the owner of the property shall be notified to restore the street pavement, curb, gutter and sidewalk to the same condition as the adjoining street pavement, curb, gutter and sidewalk. Whenever any owner shall have been notified to restore the street pavement, curb, gutter and sidewalk as provided in this subsection and shall fail to comply within ninety (90) days after receipt of such notice, the city shall proceed to repair such pavement, curb, gutter and sidewalk, and when so restored by the city, the cost of such repair shall be paid by the owner of such abutting property.

(b)

The city shall refuse to issue a building permit for any construction, remodeling or repair on the property unless the owner of the property complies with the provisions of subsection (a). Any improvement district organized shall provide for the replacement or installation of curbs across any abandoned driveway as provided in subsection (a). The city may refuse to issue any and all other permits or perform any and all other services to the property owner unless the owner complies with the provisions of subsection (a).
