Driveway alterations - Driveway Standards - Landscaping in ROWIf putting in a driveway with a new home construction, one driveway/road access per property is allowed with your building permit at no additional charge. You do need to have this driveway inspected. To do so, you must contact the Becker Township Engineer at 763-262-8822. If you do not have a driveway approval permit, you will not receive a certificate of occupancy for your new home.
If you need to alter a driveway, work on landscaping at the end of your driveway, or put in an additional driveway, there are township regulations that must be followed and permits that must be obtained (permits can be obtained through this website's permit page or contacting the clerk). Depending on what you plan, the clerk will direct you to the appropriate personnel. Headwalls are not permitted in the township. Aprons are required for culverts. See the Driveway and Approach Engineering Standards below. If you have any questions, contact the Township Engineer at 763-262-8822 or the Town Clerk. Fees for right of way permits include both a fee for the permit and a construction deposit. Both fees are required at the time of application. The construction deposit will be returned upon verification that no damage to the right of way has occurred. Depending on what you plan, the clerk can direct you to the appropriate personnel. Driveway permits must start with either the Township Engineer or the Township Clerk. |

NOTE During road projects, driveways sometimes require cuts in them to allow for the building of a smooth surface between the new road and the drive entrance. The township will replace both concrete and asphalt surfaces with asphalt to provide the transition between the road and driveway. |
