<br />Draft 9-21-05 <br /> <br />Bridge Guidelines <br /> <br />The following rules are for the erection of new private bridges in the City of Centerville. <br />All private bridges will conform to the following requirements. <br /> <br />All private bridges shall be considered a deck and require a zoning or building permit. A <br />bridge located in an easement will not be allowed unless it functions to provide the <br />property owner access to a part of his property not otherwise accessible and such access <br />is required for maintenance of the property. If the bridge is located within an easement, <br />the property owner shall sign an encroachment agreement with the City prior to the <br />erection of the bridge. No private bridge may span across any waterway without prior <br />approval from the City Council. <br /> <br />A condition of approval for a bridge in an easement is that the property owner shall <br />provide liability insurance in the amount of $1 million and naming the City Of <br />Centerville as an additional insured. <br /> <br />A decorative bridge is one that is less than 30" above the grade and is exempt from the <br />permit requirements but is not permitted in an easement. <br /> <br />;v <br />
