• Gravel driveways are not permitted; driveways and parking areas must be constructed of an approved hard surface such as pavers, concrete, or bituminous
• Each residential property is allowed one curb cut
• Driveway work along a County Road may require a Ramsey County Driveway Permit in addition to a city Zoning Permit
