Prior to the construction or reconstruction of any street, alley, avenue, or public ground, the Safety Service Director, or his designee, shall cause notices to be sent to all abutting property owners, requiring them to install any necessary utility service lines. Notice shall also be sent to all public or private utility corporations and City Departments to repair, replace, relocate, or install all necessary mains, conduits, service lines and structures. Property owners, private and public utility corporations and City Departments shall be allowed necessary, reasonable, and legal times required for the aforesaid installations before the new pavement is laid. Thereafter, during the period of three (3) years from final completion of the new pavement, no permit for making an opening in such pavement shall be issued by the City, except by express authority in each case from the Safety Service Director, which authority shall be exercised only for reasons of public necessity or of undue private hardship, where the necessity for the opening arises from causes over which the applicant has no control. Lack of foresight in not installing service connections prior to the laying of new pavement shall not be considered an adequate reason for abrogation of the three-year restriction without adherence with the Street Opening Payment Schedule as delineated in Section 901.03(d).
