No gravel driveways shall be permitted except for periods not exceeding thirty (30) days prior to the installation of a new paved driveway, except in the case of extenuating circumstances and approval by the Building Commissioner.

D. 

For any lot (whether or not containing a dwelling) having a sight triangle, nothing shall be erected, placed, planted or allowed to grow in such a manner as to materially impede, limit or obstruct the sight distance or vision of motorists entering or leaving the intersection.
