(A) Whenever an excavation is made in that part of the paved area of a street that is subject to automotive traffic and the surface area of the excavation exceeds 10% of the total paved area, then the person making the excavation shall be required to repave or resurface said total paved area, unless specifically exempted from doing so by the City Engineer.
(B) For the purposes of this section the TOTAL PAVED AREA SUBJECT TO AUTOMOTIVE TRAFFIC shall be defined as follows:
(1) The total area within an intersection of streets, the boundaries of which are to be determined by the extension of intersecting right-of-way lines.
(2) The total area between intersections of streets, the boundaries of which are to be determined by the distance between the right-of-way lines of the intersecting streets closest to each other. In those instances where these definitions are not applicable,
then the TOTAL PAVED AREA SUBJECT TO AUTOMOTIVE TRAFFIC shall be as determined by the City Engineer.
