a.Driveway location and dimension may be slightly modified by the Public Works Director when, in his opinion, topographical or terrain conditions dictating the provisions of this Article would result in an unsafe or unusable driveway or would deprive the owner of the use of his property.

b.Upon application by the owner or his authorized agent, the City Council may modify the requirements, standards and specifications as set forth in Division 3 herein whenever it is found unique conditions exist which make said modifications necessary or desirable. Unique conditions include, but are not limited to, the proposed or existing landscaping, type of business and the method of operation and the grounds set forth in subsection (a) herein.

In granting such exceptions, the City Council may impose reasonable conditions to ensure the public safety, including improvements to public property outside the subject property and the requirements that the owner modify the driveways if the conditions on which the modification was granted are changed or if the driveways become a hazard to public safety.
