It is unlawful for any person to construct, build, establish or maintain any sidewalk, curb ramp, curb and gutter, or driveway over, across or upon any public street, road, thoroughfare, or parkway, or to cut or change the construction of any public sidewalk, curb or gutter for any purpose, without having first obtained from the department a permit for such construction, cut or change. (1999 Code)
A. Amount: Before issuance of any such permit, the contractor or person proposing the construction shall file with the bond office, on a form furnished by the city, a penal bond in the sum of ten thousand dollars ($10,000.00) with good and sufficient surety thereon, conditioned that the makers shall save harmless, defend and indemnify the city against or on account of accidents, damages or claims arising out of or during the construction by the contractor. All such bonds shall be continuing until terminated by notice in writing given thirty (30) days in advance.
B. Contractors: In addition, a contractor making a business of such construction in the city shall maintain on file with the department a performance and completion bond in the penal sum of one thousand dollars ($1,000.00) to guarantee for one year after the date of acceptance by the city work done in the city.

All construction authorized by the permit issued under section 14.36.010 of this chapter shall be in accordance with the specifications and grades approved by the department.

It is unlawful for any person to construct any sidewalk, curb and gutter, or driveway over, across or upon any public street, road, thoroughfare or parkway, or to cut or change the construction thereof except in accordance with the permit issued by the department. (1999 Code)
No permit shall be granted by the department for any driveway more than thirty feet (30') in width. No driveway, including sidewalk, shall be less than six inches (6") thick. When more than one driveway is required for any one parcel of land, a sidewalk island of at least twelve feet (12') shall be provided between driveways, and in no case shall a permit be granted for a driveway that will be within ten feet (10') from the property line where it adjoins any street. It is unlawful for any person to drive any vehicles over or across any such street corner or within ten feet (10') therefrom, as provided in this section. Where, in the opinion of the department, it would be dangerous, or where a driveway conflicts with any permanent improvements or waterways, the department may refuse to issue the permit and the matter shall be referred to the mayor for further consideration, in which event a driveway may be permitted at such place if approved by the mayor.
