The superintendent of streets may issue exemption permits with
appropriate conditions, including time limits, for vehicles not otherwise
exempt upon a showing by the applicant of the need for the exemption.

such permit is reasonably necessary for the preservation of the health,
safety, and welfare of residents of the city and does not adversely
affect others by such use. Street and road conditions in the area
involved shall be a factor to consider. Commercial vehicle owners
or operators residing in the city on or before the effective date
of the ordinance codified in this chapter shall be eligible for such
permit for one commercial vehicle, but shall not be entitled to such

to city streets or cause a pedestrian or traffic hazard or adversely
affect adjacent properties. A fee shall be charged for all applications
for an exemption permit, as shall be established by resolution of
the city council.
