[Ord. No. 5045 § 1, 8-14-2008]
A. A public utility right-of-way user, after
an excavation of a public right-of-way, shall provide for restoration
of the right-of-way and surrounding areas, including the pavement

of the City, unless the City, at its option, chooses to perform its
own street restoration, in which case the public utility right-of-way
user shall be responsible for reimbursing the City its reasonable
actual restoration costs within thirty (30) days of invoice. Restoration
of the public right-of-way shall be completed within the dates specified
in the right-of-way permit, unless the permittee obtains a waiver,
extension or a new or amended right-of-way permit. Every right-of-way
user to whom a right-of-way permit has been granted shall guarantee
for a period of four (4) years the restoration of the right-of-way
in the area where such right-of-way user conducted excavation and
performed the restoration.
B. If a public utility right-of-way user fails
to restore the public right-of-way within the date specified in the
right-of-way permit or has not acquired a waiver or extension to such
permit, the City is authorized to perform its own restoration required
as a result of the excavation, and the public utility right-of-way
user shall reimburse the City for the actual costs of such restoration.
[Ord. No. 5045 § 1, 8-14-2008]

fails to provide all the necessary information requested by the City
for managing the public right-of-way;
2.
The public utility right-of-way user
has failed to return the public right-of-way to its previous condition
under a previous permit;
3.
The City has provided the public
utility right-of-way user with a reasonable, competitively neutral
and non-discriminatory justification for requiring an alternative
method for performing the work identified in the permit application
or a reasonable alternative route that will result in neither additional
installation expense up to ten percent (10%) to the public utility
right-of-way user nor a declination of service quality;
4.
The City determines that the denial
is necessary to protect the public health and safety, provided that
the authority of the City does not extend to those items under the
jurisdiction of the Public Service Commission, such denial shall not
interfere with a public utility's right of eminent domain of private
property, and such denials shall only be imposed on a competitively
neutral and non-discriminatory basis; or
5.
The area is environmentally sensitive
as defined by State Statute or Federal law or is a historic district
as defined by the St. Peters City Code.
B. The City shall, after reasonable notice
and an opportunity to cure, revoke a right-of-way permit granted to
a public utility right-of-way user, with or without fee refund, and/or
impose a penalty as established by the City until the breach is cured,

conditions of the permit. A substantial breach by a permittee includes,
but is not limited to:
1.
A material violation of a provision
of the right-of-way permit;
2.
An evasion or attempt to evade any
material provision of the right-of-way permit or the perpetration
or attempt to perpetrate any fraud or deceit upon the City or its
citizens;
3.
A material misrepresentation of fact
in the right-of-way permit application;

date specified in the right-of-way permit, unless a permit extension
is obtained or unless the failure to complete the work is due to reasons
beyond the permittee's control; and
5.
A failure to correct, within the
time specified by the City, work that does not conform to applicable
national safety codes, industry construction standards or local safety
codes that are no more stringent than national safety codes, upon
inspection and notification by the City of the faulty condition.
C. The City shall promptly, but not longer
than thirty-one (31) days, process all completed permit applications.
In order to avoid excessive processing and accounting costs to either
the City or the public utility right-of-way user, the City may establish
procedures for bulk processing of permits and periodic payment of
permit fees.
[Ord. No. 5045 § 1, 8-14-2008]
A. A public utility right-of-way user that
has been denied a right-of-way permit, has had its right-of-way permit
revoked, believes that the fees imposed on the public right-of-way
user by the City do not conform to the requirements of this Chapter,

of the denial, revocation, fee imposition or dispute resolution, the
public utility right-of-way user may, in addition to all other remedies
and if both parties agree, have the right to have the matter resolved

before an arbitrator agreed to by both the City and the public utility
right-of-way user. The costs and fees of a single arbitrator shall
be borne equally by the City and the public utility right-of-way user.
C. If the parties cannot agree on an arbitrator,
the matter shall be resolved by a three-person arbitration panel consisting
of one (1) arbitrator selected by the City, one (1) arbitrator selected
by the public utility right-of-way user, and one (1) person selected
by the other two (2) arbitrators. In the event that a three-person
arbitrator panel is necessary, each party shall bear the expense of
its own arbitrator and shall jointly and equally bear with the other
party the expense of the third arbitrator and of the arbitration.
D. Each party to the arbitration shall pay
its own costs, disbursements and attorney fees.

users of the public right-of-way, including the City, which shall
reflect the proportionate costs imposed on the City by each of the
various types of uses of the public rights-of-way;
3.
Imposed on a competitively neutral
and non-discriminatory basis; and
4.
Imposed in a manner so that above
ground uses of the public right-of-way do not bear costs incurred
by the City to regulate underground uses of the public right-of-way.
C. The public utility right-of-way user shall
have the right to equitably allocate, and may separately state in
the customer's bill, any or all right-of-way permit fees imposed by

pursuant to this Chapter through the provision of in-kind services
by a public utility right-of-way user, nor require the provision of
in-kind services as a condition of consent to use the City's public
right-of-way; however, nothing in this Subsection shall preclude requiring
services of a cable television operator, video services provider or
other video programming provider as permitted by law.
