(a) Permit Application. Application for a permit to construct or reconstruct a walk or driveway or make a curb opening shall be on forms furnished by the Director of Public Service-Safety. The forms shall set forth the name and address of the applicant; the name and address of the owner of the property adjoining the right of way where the proposed work is to be done; the street address and legal description of the lot or land adjoining the right of way; the number of square feet of proposed walk or driveway to be constructed or reconstructed and/or the number of lineal feet of curbing cut, dropped or removed; the width of the present walk, driveway or curb opening; the material in the present walk, driveway or curb; the material to be used in the proposed construction or reconstruction of the walk; and such other information as may be required. No walk shall be constructed or reconstructed until a permit has been obtained from the Director either by the owner of the contiguous property or his agent. A licensed contractor must ascertain that a permit has been procured before he constructs or reconstructs any sidewalk or driveway or makes any curb opening. The permit must be kept on the site of the construction or reconstruction until completion of the work. (Ord. 83-74. Passed 2-11-75.)
(b) Fees. Fees to be collected for the issuance of sidewalk and driveway construction permits in conformity with this section shall be as determined from time to time by Council. Fees shall be payable at the office of the Director. In the case of reconstruction, fees may be waived at the discretion of the Director if it is determined that the condition giving rise to the need for reconstruction was caused by the City. (Ord. 83-87. Passed 4-7-87.)
(c) Notwithstanding the provisions of this chapter, Council may override any decision of the Director of Public Service-Safety and may assume any of the powers delegated to the Director, by a resolution adopted by a majority of the members duly elected thereto.
