A. Form; Contents:
1. Application for a permit shall be made in writing to the general manager, on the forms provided by the general manager.
2. An applicant for a permit shall state in his application: name and address, such other information as is required by this chapter and such other information as the general manager may require.
3. The general manager may make such changes or additions in any application for a permit as in his opinion are necessary for the protection of the district property, for the prevention of undue interference with traffic, for the safety of persons using such district property, as to the route over which to move any over height, over width, over length, or overweight load; as to the location, depth, dimension, character, and number of excavations; as to encroachments made or placed; and, as to other permits issued pursuant to this chapter.
4. Each permit shall specify the time the permit shall become null and void and the permit shall become null and void on the date so specified unless the general manager extends the time. The general manager may extend the time if, in his opinion, the work for which the permit was issued was delayed in completion because of inclement weather, strikes, an act of God, or other causes not within the control of the permittee.
5. The general manager may require that evidence be submitted with the application to satisfy him that a proposed overhead structure or encroachment shall not, insofar as he can foresee, create a hazard of any kind.
B. Additional Requirement: The general manager may establish additional requirements for the work to be done under the permit, including equipment to be used, type of backfill, compaction, paving, traffic regulations, hours of work, flagmen, lights, inspection, and other similar requirements and conditions by attachments to the permits, and they shall be an integral part thereof. If any of the requirements of the permit are violated, the general manager may revoke the permit and require that a new permit be secured before further work is done.
C. Blanket Permits: Blanket permits, renewable annually, may be issued subject to compliance with all applicable provisions of this chapter. The general manager may revoke any such blanket permit if the permittee fails to comply with any of the provisions of this chapter. The issuance of a blanket permit does not relieve the permittee from making such reports of activity under the blanket permit as may be required by the general manager and for paying for inspection, repairs and other costs incurred by the district due to the permittee's activity.
D. Cost Of Relocation Of Structures: The general manager may require the permittee to make proper arrangements for, and bear the cost of, the relocation of any structure, publicly owned facility, tree, or shrub, where such relocation is made necessary by the proposed work for which a permit is issued. The general manager may elect to do the necessary relocation at the permittee's expense.
E. Permit Issued: If the applicant complies with every applicable provision of this chapter and all applicable provisions of all other ordinances and statutes, the general manager may issue to the applicant a written permit to perform the work set forth in the application. The general manager may refuse to issue a permit if he finds that it is not in the best interest of the district to do so.
F. Revocation Of Permit: The general manager, for cause, may cancel the privilege granted by the permit and may remove the permit from the job location.
G. Permits Nontransferable: Permits issued under the authority of this chapter are nontransferable. (Ord. 09-230, 1-8-2009)
