SAN LEANDRO ADMINISTRATIVE CODE TITLE 12 Chapter 13 PUBLIC WORKS Substandard Residential Driveways §12.13.100 GENERAL. It shall be the policy of this City Council to encourage property owners to upgrade substandard residential driveways whenever City streets are reconstructed. &12.13.200 AUTHORITY TO ADMINISTER POLICY. The City Engineer shall have the sole discretion to determine if driveways are substandard or not and therefore if property owners are eligible to benefit from this cost share policy. §12.13.300 SUBSTANDARD RESIDENTIAL DRIVEWAY POLICY. The cost of replacement of substandard driveways will be on an equal share basis between the City and property owner. The property owner will be given the option to pay one-half the cost of the driveway replacement upon completion of the work. Property owners also have the option of deferring payment to the City for up to one year after completion. After the first year payments can be made over a period of five years with an annual interest rate of 6%. Qualifying low-income property owners may be eligible to receive grant funds, if available. Property owner participation in the City's program to upgrade substandard residential driveways shall be on a voluntary basis. &12.13.400 PROCESS. Whenever the City undertakes the reconstruction of a residential street, property owners will be given notice of work to be performed and potential grading impacts on existing substandard driveways. Property owners will be advised that following the completion of the reconstruction street work, property owners with substandard driveways will no longer be allowed to use appurtenances of any type (e.g., wood, concrete, or metal ramps) to adjust for grade differences between the street and substandard residential driveways. This finding is necessary to minimize the water damage that occurs to the street due to such appurtenances. 2-20-01
