§ 19-46. Application, plan and approval.

No application for a driveway permit shall be considered unless and until the applicant shall make the following assurances and abide by the following restrictions:

(1)

That the applicant is the owner of the property and any driveway or approach constructed by him is for the bona fide purposes of securing access to his property and not for the purpose of parking or servicing vehicles in the parish right-of-way.

(2)

That all driveways, approaches or other improvements on the right-of-way, after having been constructed, shall at all times be subject to inspection and the right is reserved to require such changes, additions, repairs and relocations to be made as may at any time be considered necessary to permit the relocations, reconstruction, widening and maintaining of the parish right-of-way and/or to provide proper and safe protection to life and property on or adjacent to the parish right-of-way; and that the cost of making such changes, additions, repairs and relocations shall be borne by the applicant.

(3)

That no driveway, approach or other improvement constructed on the parish right-of-way as an exercise of this permit shall be relocated or its dimensions altered without the written permission of the parish supervisor of engineering and public works.

(4)

That the applicant agrees to hold harmless the parish, and its duly appointed agents and employees against any action for personal injury or property damage sustained by reason of the exercise of this permit, whether or not the same may have been caused by the negligence of the parish, its agents or employees; provided, however, that the provisions of this last clause shall not apply to any personal injury or property damage caused by the sole negligence of the parish, its agents or employees, unless such sole negligence shall consist or shall have consisted entirely and only if negligent in the granting of a driveway permit or driveway permits.
