Before paving or otherwise surfacing or resurfacing any street of the city, the city may, but need not, determine a time certain within which sewer, water, gas or other underground utility connection must be constructed or not at all, and shall give notice thereof to the person required to make the connection. If any person fails to make connection when so required, no permission to make such connection shall thereafter be granted after the completion of any street improvement for a period of five years, unless for special reasons approved by the city. During that period of time, no permits to open or cut the street or alley shall be issued without such special approval. Required connections during this period shall be accomplished so as to leave the street improvement unaffected, using such construction methods as jack and bore. Connections made shall be subject to the general provisions of this division if they otherwise meet the definitions and intent of the policy on special assessment improvements.
