Curb Cut Permit

This permit is issued for properties which require driveway access over existing concrete, barrier-style, integral curb and gutter.

The undersigned agrees, by signature, to undertake the works herein described in a manner consistent with City of Dawson Creek specifications. 

All curb cuts to concrete, barrier-style, integral curb and gutter will be made horizontally with a concrete saw so that the driveway "lip" left intact will be ±40mm (1^1⁄2“) above the gutter line. The ends of the curb cut will be cut diagonally on a 30° slope to the top of the curb. 

Single family residential properties must only have one driveway access per road frontage.

Multi-family residential, commercial, and industrial properties must only have one driveway access per road frontage, unless there is a demonstrated need and approval is obtained from the General Manager of Development Services.

The driveway width must not exceed 45% of your lot frontage, up to a maximum of 9 meters. 

Driveways must be located a minimum of 1 m from hydrants, poles, street lights, street signs, and property lines.

Excluding Industrial zones, all off-street parking and loading spaces and access aisles shall be surfaced with permeable paving, asphalt, concrete or similar pavement to provide a surface that is durable and dust free.

If the curb cut is proceeded with in any other manner, the section of curb and gutter affected (as determined by the City) will be removed and replaced at the Owner's expense, including any asphalt patching required.
