Provided that, parcels greater than one hundred (100) feet in width, which shall have driveways curb cuts at least sixty (60) feet from an intersection measured at the edge of the public right-of- way. 2. Driveway curb cuts shall be aligned with driveways on the opposite side of the street or offset a minimum distance of thirty (30) feet, measured from centerline to centerline. 3. Driveways on the same side of a local street shall be separated by at least thirty (30) feet, measured from centerline to centerline. Provided, that common or shared drives shall have zero distance between them but shall comply with required distances from intersections and other driveways as set forth in this section. 4. Exit-only or entrance-only driveways and driveways for dwellings and duplexes, shall be a minimum of ten (10) feet, and no more than twenty (20) feet in width.

In those areas without curbs and gutters, the requirements of this section shall apply and be administered as if the curb and gutters were present. F. All driveways shall be paved with asphalt, concrete, or pervious paving and connect to the public right-of-way. G. Upon the recommendation of the Zoning Administrator, the Commission may approve a site plan that does not comply the requirements of this section where local conditions make full compliance impossible, providing the distances between the new driveway from street intersections and other driveways is the greatest possible.
