No official of any City department shall issue a permit for an excavation into any street as described in this section, without written statement from the Clerk of Council stating that, by a majority of Council, such permission was granted.
At least 120 days prior to the paving or resurfacing of any street with concrete or asphaltic concrete, a notice shall be mailed to the property owners, private utilities or other entities having utility lines or stubs underneath the street to be paved, indicating that the paving or resurfacing will be done and advising the property owners that no pavement cuts shall be permitted for two years without Council's expressed approval after such resurfacing or paving is completed, except in cases of emergency.
