. curbline shall be approximately 90 degrees for two-way driveways, or 45 degrees to 90 degrees for one-way driveways. (8) Radius. Driveway approaches shall be constructed with either winged side slopes or with return curbs having a rolled face disappearing at the sidewalks and joining the street curb with a radius to conform to the dimensions as required by Table 7-1. Winged side slopes shall be used whenever a curb return may present an architectural barrier within a pedestrian path. (9) Sidewalk to be removed. Where a driveway approach is designed to cross an existing sidewalk, the sidewalk included in the driveway approach area shall be removed and reconstructed as a driveway approach unless the City Engineer has determined that the section of sidewalk fully complies with the requirements of this section for driveway approaches. (10) Removal of curb and gutter. Where a driveway approach is to be constructed at a location where a curb and gutter is in place, the curb and gutter shall be removed to the nearest existing construction joint or a new construction joint formed by other methods as may be approved by the City Engineer. The driveway approach shall be constructed monolithically with the new curb and gutter section and shall extend back to the property line. If the existing curb and gutter is found to be of satisfactory condition and strength, as determined by the City Engineer, a one- inch minimum depth longitudinal and vertical saw cut or equal cut along the face of the curb may be required for curb removal. Curb removal shall extend to the bottom of the cut. The new concrete driveway approach, at the cut, shall be a minimum of two inches thick. • (11) Driveway approaches at intersections. Along either side of any parcel, the driveway approaches shall be located no closer than 100 feet to the corner of the intersecting right-of-way. Corner parcels less than 150 feet in length along the right-of-way shall combine access with adjoining property, wherever possible. Where it can be shown that access is effectively denied a corner parcel because of the 100-foot distance from the corner of the intersecting right-of-way and combined access is not available from adjoining property, a variance to the requirement may be granted by the City Engineer, provided the applicant demonstrates that a variance will not create a traffic hazard. (12) Driveway approaches at roadway facilities. Driveway approaches at or near traffic interchanges, grade separations and traffic circles shall be so located that traffic entering or leaving the street will not impede, confuse, imperil or otherwise interfere with vehicular traffic. (13) Driveway approaches in existing on-street angle or head-in parking areas. Driveway approaches shall not be constructed in existing on-street angle or head-in parking areas unless all curb is restored to a standard location along the roadway in front of the premises. (14) Obstruction of driveway approaches. Driveway approaches shall not be constructed or designed so that standing or parked vehicles may obstruct the • (15) driveway. Premises used as motor bank. Premises used as a motor or drive-through bank may have driveway approaches as approved by the City Engineer. The
