(A) Tunneling will be required at the discretion of the Street or Community Development Director when it is feasible to tunnel underneath any portion of any street or sidewalk in the city which is paved with concrete or asphalt paving. The street or sidewalk in the city which is paved with concrete and asphalt paving may be excavated as otherwise provided in this chapter if tunneling is not feasible after taking into consideration the location, costs, and time involved.
(B) Where a proper permit has been secured, tunnels may be driven or excavated under any such pavement, provided that upon completion of the work involved the backfill shall be compacted with sand. The cost for issuing a permit shall be as set by the City Council by motion or resolution.
(C) Tunneling prior to receipt of a permit shall be punishable by a fine in the Municipal Court, and in addition thereto, the person or entity responsible for tunneling shall pay a $300 fee to the city plus costs of all materials, labor, and equipment used in rectifying the violation.
