Section 38A. Grading of Residence Lots 14-38A
Section 38A. Grading of Residence Lots 14-38A No persons shall construct the driveway of a dwelling with a garage under or attached except in such manner as to insure that no surface water from the street enters into it. To determine whether or not a proposed dwelling will meet this requirement, a plan shall be submitted to the Building Inspector at the time of application for a building permit showing the garage floor to be at least 12" above the center line elevation of the street at a point opposite the center line of the house foundation, or alternately providing for the disposal of water that collects within the driveway or approach area in a manner acceptable to the Building Inspector. The final grading of the lot from the front line of the house shall be toward the street and the remainder of the lot will be graded to shed water away from the foundation so that no surface water stands or is trapped on the lot or adjacent property.
