No person shall dig or disturb any portion of a street or alley or public right of way in the Village for any purpose, unless permission is obtained from the Planning and Zoning Chairperson through a permit and a deposit is made with the Chairperson of not less than the following amounts for streets or alleys of the stated type of construction:
(1) Class “A” Street.
Type of Construction | Minimum Deposit Required |
Concrete | $400.00 |
Concrete and brick | 400.00 |
Concrete, brick and asphalt | 400.00 |
Full-depth asphalt (4"+) | 400.00 |
(2) Class “B” Street.
Type of Construction | Minimum Deposit Required |
Granular base and asphalt | $300.00 |
Granular base and chip and seal | 300.00 |
Other base and asphalt | 300.00 |
Gravel | 200.00 |
All of the above minimum deposit amounts shall include an opening of not more than a total of 20 square feet. For larger increments, the following square foot amounts shall be added to above stated bonds:
Class “A” Street | $10.00 per square foot |
Class “B” Street | $8.00 per square foot |
Deposits shall be predicated upon the assumption that the Village may be required to make a satisfactory repair to the excavation and pavement in order to properly restore the street, alley or public right of way to at least as good of condition as it was prior to the opening. These bonds are also predicated on the fact that the Village requires the contractor or the property owner to properly complete all pavement restoration work. However, if the property owner or contractor doing the work should not restore the pavement, then the deposit would be utilized by the Village to complete the restoration. All deposits shall be held by the Village for a period of three months after the completion of the repair work in order to be assured that final repair work is durable and acceptable. The Village Administrator shall inspect all work, upon notification by the contractor or owner, to determine that proper repairs have been made according to Village specifications.
A public utility agrees for each project that the utility will pay for the proper restoration of any pavement area disturbed by its operation and that it will repair the said pavement to Village specifications and shall meet the requirements of the Village Administrator.
Each public utility will provide for proper safety barriers and warning lights, as required by the most recent edition of the Ohio Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices, and will specifically assume all liability for such excavation within the public right of way.
