F.  Driveways

             Each lot in a proposed subdivision shall be served by a
             driveway which conforms with the standards specified in
             these regulations. Location of driveways is intended to
             prove that there Is at least one location for each lot that
             can meet the requirements, especially for traffic safety,
             before all opportunity for lot line change is foreclosed by

                             Page 27

             the Boards approval of the Plat. These driveway regulations
             apply on both private and public streets.

             Driveway Standards:

             1. Number: No more than two driveway entrances shall be
                constructed from any one street to any one property,
                unless frontage along that street exceeds 500 feet.
                When frontage exceed 500 feet, no more than three
                driveway entrances shall be constructed.

             2. Location: The location shall be selected to protect the
                most adequate degree of safety of the travelling public.
                The driveway shall be at least 25 feet from the nearest
                intersection.

             3. Sight distance: The location shall be selected to
                provide safe sight distances which shall be ten times the
                posted speed limit but not less than 300 feet.

             4. Intersection: The driveway shall be laid out so as to
                intersect the street as nearly as possible at right
                angles, but in no case at an angle less than sixty
                degrees at the right-of-way line.

             5. Width: The driveway shall have a minimum width of 12
                feet.

             6. Grade: To insure proper drainage, the grade of the
                driveway shall be constructed to slope away from the
                street road surface for a distance equivalent to the
                ditch centerline or the right-of-way line, as applicable.
                For paved driveways, the minimum rate of slope shall be
                -3% to the ditch line; for gravel driveways, the slope
                shall be a minimum of -4%. Positive grades rising away
                from the ditch line into the lot shall not exceed +4%
                within the right-of-way.

             7. Paved Apron: Driveways which abut paved streets shall be
                constructed with paved aprons that shall be as wide as
                the driveway and at least five feet in depth, or deeper
                if deemed necessary by the Board. The paved apron shall
                be constructed to protect the edge of the road from
                deterioration.

            B. Drainage: The driveway shall not interfere with
               drainage. Where necessary, culverts, water bars, ditches
               and other drainage structures shall be installed to
               insure adequate drainage of the street, and to prevent
               excessive drainage from the driveway on the roadway.
               Culverts shall be at least 12 inches in diameter, and
               larger if considered necessary by the Town Road Agent or
               reviewing Engineer. A minimum of 12 inches of fill shall
               be placed over the culvert.

            9. Drawings: Driveway locations shall be shown on the final
               plat plan and shall be keyed by station on road profiles
               when required. Intended grading and drainage improvements
               shall also be shown.
