A. Authority Granted; No Property Right Or Other Interest Created: A permit from the village authorizes a permittee to undertake only certain activities in accordance with this chapter on village rights of way, and does not create a property right or grant authority to the permittee to impinge upon the rights of others who may have an interest in or adjacent to the public rights of way.
B. Duration: No permit issued under this chapter shall be valid for a period longer than six (6) months unless construction is actually begun within that period and is thereafter diligently pursued to completion.
C. Preconstruction Meeting Required: No construction shall begin pursuant to a permit issued under this chapter prior to attendance by the permittee and all major contractors and subcontractors who will perform any work under the permit at a preconstruction meeting. The preconstruction meeting shall be held at a date, time and place designated by the village with such village representatives in attendance as the village deems necessary. The meeting shall be for the purpose of reviewing the work under the permit, and reviewing special considerations necessary in the areas where work will occur, including, without limitation, presence or absence of other utility facilities in the area and their locations, procedures to avoid disruption of other utilities, use of rights of way by the public during construction, and access and egress by adjacent property owners.
D. Business License Required: All contractors and subcontractors performing construction activities authorized under a permit issued by the village shall be properly licensed and bonded in accordance with the requirements of the village. Issuance of a permit by the village does not excuse all contractors and subcontractors of the applicant from obtaining the proper license to do business in the village.
E. Compliance With All Laws Required: The issuance of a permit by the village does not excuse the permittee from complying with other requirements of the village and all applicable statutes, laws, ordinances, rules, and regulations. (Ord. 987, 12-18-2007)
