AVOCA — Residents are reminded of the driveway/curb-cut ordinance. Any person, owner and/or contractor shall, prior to obtaining a driveway permit, file an application supplied by the borough engineer. The permit must reflect the location of the driveway relative to the premises and designating the course, grade, structure, material and drainage facilities. It would also include what’s involved in the driveway construction.
The engineer shall determine if the proposed method of construction will minimize the adverse effect of storm water run-off, not cause damage to the road to which the driveway is to be connected and not create or increase hazardous driving conditions for those persons using the road. All construction in any way incidental to the installation of the driveway shall be performed in strict conformance with the approved plans.
