Instructions for APPLICATION and INSTALLATION of DRIVEWAYS
1. Applicant shall place a stake at the centerline of the proposed driveway,
approximately 10' off of the edge of the pavement, prior to site inspection.
2. This office will inspect the site and determine the size of the culvert needed, if
any. This permit will then be mailed to the address and person listed on the
front of this permit. If a pipe is required, the pipe will be installed per the
requirements of this office. This office will also provide advice on the installation.
3. It shall then be the responsibility of the property owner or his agent to install the
pipe at the grade and location as established by this permit and this office. If the
County Engineer anticipates a setback of the existing ditch line, it shall be the
responsibility of the applicant to grade from the existing side ditch to the new
culvert.
4. If a concrete drive is to be installed on a county road, the concrete shall
terminate three feet from the edge of the pavement. After the concrete is in
place, the applicant shall notify this office and asphaltic concrete will be placed
by County crews in the approach between the road and the drive. This office
also handles driveway permits on township roads but does not build
approaches on township roads. If your driveway is on a township road, you
need to contact your township trustees to see how and if they provide this
service.
5. When the driveway is completed, you should call the County Engineer’s Office
for final inspection.
6. Mail box supports shall not be larger than 4" x 4" timber or 2½" standard wall
steel pipe. Other supports having a cross section of equal or less breakaway
characteristics may be used with permission of the County Engineer.
7. Prior to commencement of any work (including, but not limited to, driveway
construction), the applicant and/or property owner shall contact the Miami
County Planning and Zoning Office to determine if a FEMA Flood Plain Permit is
required.
