A. Registration: Each person who occupies or uses, or seeks to occupy or use, the right-of-way or place any equipment or facilities in or on the right-of-way, including persons with installation and maintenance responsibilities by lease, sublease or assignment, must register with the City. Registration will consist of providing application information and paying a registration fee.
B. Registration Prior To Work: No person may construct, install, repair, remove, relocate, or perform any other work on or use any facilities or any part thereof, in any right-of-way without first being registered with the City.
C. Exceptions: This chapter shall not regulate landowners working within the right-of-way immediately adjacent to their lot and on their side of the actual street surface (not working within or under the improved [bituminous, gravel or concrete] surface of the street). See section 7-4-33 of this chapter for regulation of said landowners. In addition, contractors working at the request of such a homeowner and in this same area, must register as set forth below, but they shall not be required to post any cash deposit or irrevocable letter of credit as required for more involved work within the right-of-way.
This chapter shall not regulate contractors connecting to City sanitary sewer and water lines to privately owned structure. See title 3, chapter 14 of this Code for registration requirements. However, nothing herein relieves a person from complying with the provisions of the Minnesota Statutes chapter 216D, Gopher One Call Law. (Ord. 2019-003, 3-19-2019)
