2. The encroachment or excavation, if carried out in the manner proposed in the application, would unreasonably interfere with the use of public or private property adjoining or in the neighborhood of the public right-of-way or public service easement in which such encroachment or excavation is to be made; or
3. The encroachment or excavation, if carried out in the manner proposed in the application, would threaten the safety of life or property.
B. Notice of Denial. Where the director determines to deny an application for a permit required by this chapter, the director shall promptly cause a notice of such determination to be served on the permit applicant. In such notice the director shall state the reasons for the determination not to approve the application and shall set forth the right of the applicant to apply for administrative review and appeal such determination in the manner provided by this chapter.
