Access Management / Access Connections <br />Access connection location and width is regulated by Eugene's codified access <br />management standards (see Eugene Code. Chapters 7 and 9). Additional requirements <br />regarding driveway construction are provided below (see Standard Drawings for details). <br />1. Aprons for Driveways <br />Aprons shall extend from the gutter to the back of the concrete walk; if no walk exists, <br />the apron shall be 5 feet deep, measured from the back of the curb (5 feet and 6 <br />inches from gutter). Aprons shall comply with accessibility requirements in the area <br />of the sidewalk unless no sidewalk is present adjacent to the proposed apron and no <br />sidewalk is to be built connecting to the apron at the time of development and the <br />City determines no sidewalk will be built connecting to the apron in the future. <br />2. Driveway Adjustments <br />Because grades of existing driveways usually do not match the grade of a newly <br />constructed street, a portion of the existing driveway must often be removed and <br />rebuilt to match the new street. In doing so, the following basic design criteria must <br />be included: <br />a) Driveway grades for driveway adjustments shall be designed as provided in the <br />Standard Drawings. <br />b) Natural drainage (overland surface flows) shall not be impeded (no ponding). <br />See the Standard Specifications and Drawings for details. <br />Permission should be obtained from the adjacent property owner prior to any work <br />outside public right-of-way or easements. <br />B. Bridges <br />Design standards for bridge projects in the City of Eugene shall be in compliance with the <br />standards specified in AASHTO's Bridge Design Specifications and Guide Specifications for <br />Highway Bridges with related references, as well as the following ODOT manuals: Bridge <br />Public Improvement Design Standards Manual, 2016 Page 2-16 <br />
