(b)

Upon obtaining a permit as provided by this section, the person therein authorized to construct or reconstruct a driveway shall present the same to the public works director and streets commissioner, who shall inspect the construction or reconstruction of the driveway when the same is completed, according to the specifications therefor. The public works director and streets commissioner shall not approve any driveway which has not been built in accordance with the plans and specifications prescribed by the ordinances of the city.

(c)

If an application as submitted to the public works director under the provisions of this section shall be for work acceptable to and in conformity with this section, then the public works director is hereby authorized to issue a permit for such work upon the payment of the applicable fee as established in a schedule adopted by ordinance from time to time.
