A. Where standard curbs and gutters have been installed, but concrete sidewalks have not been, the permit may authorize the applicant to construct the driveway approach from the curb line to the applicant’s premises of the same materials as those used for paving the applicant’s premises. Such driveway approach shall be constructed to established grade, shall be adequate and suitable for the traffic to be carried by it. The permit shall provide, and the applicant shall agree, that if and when thereafter concrete sidewalks are constructed the applicant or the applicant’s successor shall install concrete driveway approach.

B. Where standard curbs and gutters have not been installed the apron length set forth in Section 13.16.060 hereof shall be measured along the property line and there shall be not less than six feet of frontage between all driveway approaches and twenty feet of frontage between driveway approaches serving any one property. Permits shall not be issued for any surface improvement or paving on the street right-of-way between driveway approaches, unless a concrete curb or other physical obstruction of a design satisfactory to the city engineer is constructed and maintained by the applicant along the applicant’s property line so that the entrance and exit of vehicles to and from applicant’s property will be restricted to the established driveway approaches. Pursuant to the permit provided for herein applicant may surface the driveway approaches or other areas within the right-of-way by extending the same type of paving used on applicant’s premises so that it merges with the street pavement, provided applicant’s paving is adequate and suitable for the traffic to be carried. Such extended paving between the property line and the street pavement shall be to established grade or other slope fixed by the city engineer to provide for proper run off and all work shall conform to city of Everett specifications and shall be approved by the city engineer. Such paving between the property line and the street pavement may meet the street pavement at a point ahead of the curb opening in order to provide for safety deceleration of vehicles turning into the applicant’s premises. If applicant’s paving is extended beyond the property line into a street right-of-way at an intersection or cross road, the city engineer may require applicant to construct a suitable traffic island or curb to provide for the protection of such municipal facilities as may be necessary.
