The permittee shall be responsible for repairing any damage to an existing driveway resulting from permitted activity.

(2) Subdivision driveway access (Type D2 permit)--authorizes residential access (single-family or duplex) to a county road where a combined review to establish lot access requirements has previously been conducted as part of the subdivision review process, and the subdivision developer is established as responsible for requirements related to driveway access.
