are prohibited.
• (o) Up to four (4) lots may be served by a private driveway
if the City finds the following conditions to exist:

infeasible or inappropriate to construct a public
street. In making this determination the City may
consider the location of existing property lines
and homes, local or geographic conditions and the
existence of wetlands.
(2) After reviewing the surrounding area it is
concluded that an extension of the public street
system is not required to serve other parcels in
the area, improve access, or to provide a street
system consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.

protection of wetlands and mature trees.
If the use of private driveway is to be allowed, they

completion of the driveway, the applicant shall be
required to submit a set of "as -built" plans
signed by a registered civil engineer.
•
(2) Private driveways must be maintained in good
condition and plowed within twenty-four hours of a
snowfall greater than two (2) inches. Covenants
concerning maintenance shall be filed against all
benefitting properties. Parking on the driveway or
otherwise blocking all or part of the driveway
shall be prohibited.
(3) Private driveways that are not usable by emergency
vehicles because of obstructions, snow
accumulation, or poor maintenance are a public
safety hazard. The City may remedy such conditions
and assess the cost back to the property pursuant
to Minnesota Statutes Section 429.101, Subd. 1(C).
(4) The driveway must be provided with drainage
improvements determined to be necessary by the
City engineer.
(5) Street addresses or City approved street name
sign, if required, must be posted at the point
where the private driveway intersects the public
right-of-way.

upon adjoining parcels. The City may require
revised alignments and landscaping to minimize
impact.
(7) The driveway must be located within a strip of
property at least thirty (30) feet wide extending
