Mike,
We don't have a maximum slope in our subdivision ordinance for
residential driveways. As a general rule I try to keep them at 10% or
less when we reconstruct a road. Of course this is usually a situation
where we have multiple grade breaks and an existing homeowner.
There may be some requirements in the Building Code that address
driveway slopes. You may want to check with Michael Arellano in our
Building Inspections department before finalizing your plans. Michael
can be reached at 972-304-3500.

I have another question for you. With these short driveways at the
back of the townhomes that connect to the alleys, what is the maximum
grade allowed for the driveways?
I believe the subdivision ordinance references a maximum grade in a
subdivision to be 10% but was not clear if that included the driveways.
We were planning on limiting our maximum grades to 14%. The driveways
are only 6 feet long.
Thanks.
