IN THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN LEANDRO RESOLUTION NO. 2011- RESOLUTION AMENDING TITLE 8, CHAPTER 5 TO THE SAN LEANDRO ADMINISTRATIVE CODE, RELATING TO SUBSTANDARD RESIDENTIAL DRIVEWAYS Recitals WHEREAS, the City Council has carefully examined and reviewed the staff report and proposed amendment to the San Leandro Administrative Code as it relates to the Substandard Residential Driveways Program. NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of San Leandro does RESOLVE as follows: That Sections 8.5.200, 8.5.400 and 8.5.500 of the San Leandro Administrative Code, are amended, and a new Section 8.5.600 is added, to read as follows: " §8.5.200: AUTHORITY TO ADMINISTER POLICY. The City Engineer shall have the sole discretion to determine if an existing driveway is substandard and meets the pre - requisites necessary to qualify under this program. §8.5.400: PROCESS. Whenever the City undertakes street reconstruction, the City will inspect residential driveways within the limits of construction. A driveway will be eligible under this program when it does not conform to the current City standard; and, where the pavement elevation at the gutter has been significantly lowered in the course of street reconstruction. Driveways altered by the construction of non - permitted concrete, asphalt, wood, or other unauthorized materials will not qualify under this program, unless the conditions found in the aforementioned paragraph also exist. All residential properties will receive written notice containing details of the upcoming street reconstruction. Property owners will also be advised whether or not the replacement of their driveway qualifies for cost sharing under this program. Property owners will also be informed that following the completion of the street reconstruction work, that use of appurtenances in the street gutter (e.g., wood, concrete, or metal ramps) to adjust for grade differences between the street and driveway will not be allowed in accordance with San Leandro Municipal Code, Section 5 -1 -200. This notification is necessary to minimize the potential for flooding and pavement water damage as a result of gutter blockage.
