The permittee shall at all times and at his, her or its own expense preserve and protect from injury any adjoining property by providing proper foundations and taking other measures suitable for the purpose. Where in the protection of property it is necessary to enter upon private property for the purpose of taking protective measures, the permittee shall obtain consent from the owner of private property for the purpose, and if he or she cannot obtain consent, the Building Inspector may authorize him or her to enter the private premises solely for the purpose of making the property safe. The permittee shall, at its own expense, protect all buildings, walls, fences or other property likely to be damaged during the progress of the excavation and shall be responsible for all damage to public or private property or streets and roadways resulting from its failure to properly protect and carry out the work. Whenever it may be necessary for the permittee to trench through any lawn area, the area shall be reseeded, or the sod shall be carefully cut and rolled and replaced after the trenches have been backfilled as required by this chapter. All construction and maintenance work shall be done in a manner calculated to leave the lawn area clean of earth and debris and in a condition as nearly as possible to that which existed before the work began. The permittee shall not remove, even temporarily, any trees or shrubs which exist in parking strip areas, without first obtaining the consent of the City Manager.
