We have a corner lot and are looking to permit a circular (actually semi-circular, I guess) driveway with both entrances on the street the house faces. Apparently, there are rules for how close a driveway can be to a corner. I've tried to find them in the code, but it all looks like its up to the judgement (or whim) of the City Engineer. A quarter-circlular driveway with one entrance on each street is also an option, but faces the same permit uncertainty.
Two questions:
1. Does anyone have related experience or have an opinion about whether these types of permit applications are usually granted or rejected?
2. Does anyone know whether there is a way to protest or appeal a rejection? Is there a way to interact with the permit office to find a mutually acceptable alternative?
Thank you.
