Sec. 20.5-98. Driveways and entrances.

(a) The minimum spacing between the tangent point of an intersection and permitted driveways or entrances, and between driveways or entrances themselves, shall be in accordance with the following table based on the street classification, provided, however, that a greater or lesser distance may be stipulated by the agent upon the recommendation of the department of transportation. Reduction of these spacing requirements shall be permitted when the property configuration or location would preclude strict application of these standards, provided however that where an alternate access arrangement or an internal access system is practical and feasible, multiple driveways or entrances not in conformance with these spacing standards shall not be permitted.

(b) The width of residential driveways shall be not less than nine feet (9') and not greater than twenty feet (20') measured at the edge of the right-of-way.

(c) Driveways or entrances to lots created adjacent to streets classified as major collector, minor arterial, or major arterial shall conform with the following standards:

(1) Where all of the lots I) front on a single roadway so classified, ii) extend the full depth of the parent tract and, iii) no further subdivision of those lots is possible, each two (2) abutting non-residential lots shall be permitted one (1) driveway or entrance access point which shall be identified and noted on the final and record plat as being the access for both non-residential lots. Each residential lot shall be entitled to an individual access. In all other cases, an internal access system shall be developed.
