Those proposing to make such street openings shall make application to do so in writing to the Village Clerk, state the location and size of the proposed opening, the material of which the street and alley to be opened is composed, and such other information as may be required by the Village Clerk. Before granting such permit, the Village Clerk shall require, except in case of public utilities, a deposit in the form of cash or certified check, and an inspection fee, as determined by the President and Board of Trustees.
In each instance, the inspection fee shall be twenty five dollars ($25.00). In the event more than one inspection shall be necessary to assure compliance with this Chapter, each reinspection shall be at a fee of twenty five dollars ($25.00). (Ord. 1126, 11-9-81)
All dirt, other than sand or gravel, taken from such opening shall be removed from the location and the opening backfilled with sand or gravel tamped or flushed before the paving is replaced. No opening shall be made while the ground is frozen to a depth of twelve inches (12") or more, or subject to such freeze before refill, within four and one-half feet of any water pipe of the Village without the permission of the Village Engineering Department.
Restoration of the street or alley to its original condition, including access driveways and grass and shrubbery, if any, shall be made as soon as possible after said opening or tunneling is made.
The application herein required shall also show that the applicant has contacted all operators of gas, electrical, telephone, water, sewer or any other public utility service in the area to receive from them information as to the existence and location of any underground facilities so that the proper precautions can be taken to avoid damage to the existing underground facilities.
