(A) The fee for such permits shall be $200. This fee is to cover the costs of inspection of backfill, and an asphalt patch of up to 48 square feet. Any excavation larger than 48 square feet shall require an additional fee, to be determined by the Public Works Director based on the size of the excavation.
(B) (1) In addition to the fee(s) set forth in division (A) above, there shall be an additional fee imposed when any street cut results in any section of a city street having street cut(s) that comprise 20% or more of any 500-foot section of that street.
(a) This additional fee will be equal to the city’s cost of repaving that 500-foot section of that city street.
(b) This additional fee will be paid by the entity making the street cut. When more than one entity is responsible for the street cuts within a particular 500-foot section, the additional fee shall be prorated between the entities making the street cuts on a percentage basis. The percentage assessed to each entity will be equal to their percentage of the total street cuts that exist within a particular 500- foot section.
(2) This assessment is illustrated by the following example: assume Entity A makes a street cut in a particular city street that results in 20% or more of a 500-foot section of that city street having street cuts. Assume further that after this last street cut is made there are a total of 15 street cuts within that 500-foot section of that city street. Assume further that one entity made ten of those street cuts and another entity made five. The first entity would pay the city an amount equal to two-thirds of the city’s costs of repaving that 500-foot section of the city street, and the second entity would pay the remaining one-third.
(C) The additional fee set forth in division (B) above will not be charged if that 500-foot section of that particular city street is already scheduled to be repaved by the city within five years.
