No person shall construct a private approach within 3 metres of any property line measured at the highway line and at the curb or the edge of the roadway unless the property abuts only one public highway and the width of the frontage does not allow a private approach width as required by this by-law in addition to the 3 metres offset from the adjoining property lines in which case the General Manager may reduce the off-set to a minimum of 0.3 metres provided that the proposed access is located,
1. a safe distance from the access serving the adjacent property,
2. in such a manner that there are adequate sight lines for vehicles exiting from the property, and
3. in such a manner that it does not create a traffic hazard.
Subject to paragraph (p), in the case of a private approach including a culvert, the 3 metre setback from the adjacent property line shall be from the end of the culvert, headwall or closest part of the private approach to the adjacent property line.
Despite paragraph (p), a private approach may be constructed in such a manner that it is less than 3 metres from an adjoining property measured at the highway line and at the curb line or edge of the roadway if it is approved through Site Plan Control in accordance with the provision of the Planning Act and the City’s Site Plan Control By-law.
No person shall construct a private approach serving any parking area with a grade exceeding 2% and the grade on the private approach shall descend in the direction of the roadway.
