   (E)   The use of a construction canopy which obstructs the public way, but allows for pedestrians to pass under the structure, shall be considered a partial closure for the calculation of the above permit fees.

   (I)   In addition to any other fee required by this section, a reinspection fee of $100.00 shall be assessed against any person issued a permit under this section whenever the department of transportation conducts a reinspection after an initial inspection to verify compliance with the municipal code or any conditions of the permit issued under this section.
