If the property abutting the street at the point where a bench is to be installed is zoned for residential or multiple dwelling use, the owner or lessees of such property must consent in writing to the installation. The attorney shall determine the form of the consent and may require the applicant to provide evidence of ownership or lease. The consent shall be filed with the application. An owner or lessee may withdraw consent for a subsequent year by giving notice in writing of the desire to do so to the engineer on or before the first day of April preceding the expiration of the license. The engineer shall promptly notify the licensee of any withdrawal of consent.
