(5) Unless explicitly authorized by the construction permit, the access connection paving shall not extend beyond the property line into a street right-of-way at an intersection or crossroad. Construction permit authorization for such an extension can be conditioned on construction of a traffic island or curb to provide for the protection of municipal facilities. (1) 6 Where standard gutters and curbs have not been installed, the width of [driveway approach] the access connection shall be measured along the property line and shall comply with the same requirements as specified in section 7.410 for curb cuts. Permits shall not be issued for a surface improvement or paving on the street right-of-way between [driveway approaches] access connection unless a concrete curb or other physical obstruction, of a design satisfactory to the city engineer, is constructed and maintained by the applicant along his or her property line, so that the entrance and exit of vehicles to and from the applicant's property will be restricted to the established [driveway approaches]access connection. (2) 7 Where standard curbs and gutters have not been installed, the applicant shall pave the [driveway approaches] access connections or other areas within the right-of-way with asphaltic concrete or other material approved by the city engineer or engineer’s designee so that it merges with the street pavement; the paving shall be adequate and suitable for the traffic to be carried as determined by the city engineer. The extended paving between the property line and the street pavement shall be to the established grade or other slope fixed by the city engineer to provide for proper runoff. [The paving between the property line and the street pavement may be wider than the driveway approach at the property line in order to provide for safe deceleration of vehicles turning into the applicant's premises.] If the applicant's paving is extended beyond the property line into a street right-of-way at an intersection or crossroad, the city engineer may require the applicant to construct a suitable traffic island or curb to provide for the protection of such municipal facilities as may be necessary. (8) All access connections between the curb line and the back edge of the sidewalk shall be constructed of Portland cement concrete. The concrete of the access connection including the sidewalk section shall be constructed in accordance with construction specifications and standard drawings adopted by the city engineer. Section 14. Section 7.435 of the Eugene Code, 1971, is repealed and a new Section 7.435 is added to provide as follows: [7.435 Driveways - Use of Public Property . City street rights-of-way may not be used for private commercial purposes except under provisions of a revocable permit.
