§ 64-113. Excavation permit required.

(a)

Except for an emergency or when a special permit has been issued in accordance with section 64-4, no person shall make or cause to be made any excavation in, through or under any property, right-of-way or easements owned by the city, unless the person first applies for and the director issues an excavation permit for that excavation.

(b)

Except for an emergency, if a person shall make or cause to be made any excavation in, through or under any property, right-of-way or easements owned by the city, without first filing an application for and obtaining an excavation permit from the director for that excavation, then the application fee set forth in this article shall be doubled for that excavation and the charges, therefore, may be imposed on the person making or causing the excavation.

(c)

No permit issued under this article shall be assignable, and no person shall allow his name to be used to obtain a permit for any other person.

(d)

An excavation permit is required for emergency excavations. The permit shall be obtained the next regular business day after the excavation is started.

(e)

Excavation permits shall be conspicuously displayed at all times at the indicated work site and shall be available for inspection by the director, other city employees, and the public.
