[Amended 6-18-1996 by Ord. No. 1996-19]
When the City shall improve or pave any street, the City Engineer shall first give notice to all persons owning property abutting on the street about to be paved or improved, and to all public utilities and authorities operating in the City; and all such persons, utilities and authorities shall make all connections as well as any repairs thereto which would necessitate excavation of the street within 30 days from the giving of such notice. The time shall be extended if permission is requested in writing and approved by the City Engineer, except that such permission shall not be unreasonably withheld by the City Engineer.
[Amended 6-18-1996 by Ord. No. 1996-19]
No permit required by this article shall be issued by the City Engineer which would allow an excavation or opening in a paved and improved street surface less than five years old unless permission is granted by a majority vote of the City Council. The provisions of this section shall be waived if the applicant can clearly demonstrate that public health or safety requires that the proposed work be permitted or unless an emergency condition exists. Permits shall then be acquired in conformance with this article, and notice of such emergency openings shall be forwarded to the City Council by the City Engineer upon his issuance of the permit.
A. 
Any street which is opened in violation of § 66-392 shall be resurfaced curb to curb for a minimum linear distance of 200 feet extending on both sides of the excavation, or to the nearest intersection, whichever is less; and all related costs shall be borne by the violator of § 66-392.
B. 
The excavation shall be repaired in accordance with § 66-424, and resurfacing shall consist of a 1 1/2-inch layer of bituminous top course, to be feathered on each linear edge.
C. 
Any municipal department in violation of this section shall be required to have the necessary expenditure for resurfacing approved by a majority vote of the City Council.
