City Of South Daytona issued the following announcement on July 12.
City of South Daytona Community Trust: Driveway Improvement Program
City Beautification Initiative
WHY IS THERE A NEED FOR THIS PROGRAM?
Many older homes were built with single-width driveways at a time when people didn’t own so many cars. As a result, the City has seen an increase in complaints regarding parking on the grass in front yards.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Residents can qualify for one-year interest free loan up to $3,600 to improve or extend their driveways. Loans will be repaid in 12 equal installments added to the utility bill (up to $300.00 per month).
WHO CAN QUALIFY?
To be eligible, property must be homesteaded, property taxes must be current and there must be no outstanding code violations or monies owed to the City. Homes with single-width driveways will be given priority.
WHO WILL DO THE WORK?
The Owner is responsible for selecting and paying the contractor as well as obtaining a permit from the city. The loan will be provided to the owner (with funds being disbursed) once all work has passed a final inspection by the city.
I’M INTERESTED. WHAT’S NEXT?
Contact Becky Witte at bwitte@southdaytona.org or 386-322-3011 to obtain a City of South Daytona Driveway Improvement Program Application. Enclose a sketch and pictures of your existing driveway and where you envision the extension or where improvements are needed. Don’t worry that it’s not perfect, we just want to see what you think would work best. In general, extensions should be built on the side of the driveway that is away from the front door of the home. This will be reviewed by staff prior to contacting you. Return it to the Community Development Office as soon as possible, as funding is limited.
Please remember homes with single-width driveways will be given priority.
