(a) No person may make a pavement cut or pavement excavation or place an embankment on a public street, alley, or sidewalk without first obtaining a permit from the director. A person must apply for a permit at least 48 hours prior to the proposed activity unless an emergency exists in which case immediate notice must be given to the director. No permit is required, however, if specific authority has been granted under a building permit to cut a sidewalk or curb.
(b) The director may refuse to issue a permit if the proposed activity will:
(1) Substantially interfere with vehicles or pedestrians and no procedures, or procedures which are inconsistent with this division, have been implemented to minimize the interference; or
(2) Interfere with another activity for which a permit has been issued.
(c) The director shall state on the permit the activity for which the permit is issued and any restrictions or requirements which he determines are necessary. A person issued a permit under this section shall comply with all restrictions and requirements of the permit, this division and all other applicable city ordinances, and all applicable state and federal laws and regulations.
