1349.02 DEPOSIT REQUIRED; GENERAL REGULATION.

   Before such plank driveway is constructed and at the time of securing a permit for the construction, enlargement, alteration, repair or removal of any building or other structure, the owner or his agent shall deposit with the Service Director a minimum amount of two hundred dollars ($200.00) for one-family dwellings up to a maximum amount of one thousand dollars ($1,000) for commercial or industrial buildings according to the extent of work necessary and at the discretion of the Building Inspector, as a guarantee that the work contemplated by the permit issued will be completed and that the plank driveway will be constructed and maintained, and that if any curb, tree lawn, sidewalk, ditch or culvert is disturbed or broken, the same will be replaced as above provided at the cost and expense of the owner. Upon his failure to replace or restore such curb, tree lawn, sidewalk, ditch or culvert so displaced or broken, to the satisfaction of the Inspector of Buildings, the Inspector shall have such work performed and shall pay the cost and expense thereof out of the sum so deposited. In the event the sum as deposited is not sufficient to pay such cost and expense, the owner shall be liable to the Municipality for any balance. However, if the curb, tree lawn, sidewalk, ditch or culvert is left in a condition acceptable to the Inspector, the sum so deposited shall be returned to the owner, and any part of the fund so deposited remaining after the repairs, if any, are made, as herein provided, shall be returned to the owner. However, five dollars ($5.00) of the deposit shall be retained by the Municipality to cover the cost of inspection. If, after two years from the time of making such deposit, the work contemplated by the permit issued has not been completed and an occupancy permit therefor issued in accordance with Section 1305.07, or necessary repairs or restoration to the curb, tree lawn, sidewalk, ditch or culvert have not been made, such deposit or any portion thereof remaining shall be forfeited to the Municipality.
