[Amended 5-29-2001 by Ord. No. 14-2001]
A. No person shall erect a new pole or appurtenance, or remove, replace or relocate an existing pole or appurtenance, or replace a guy wire upon a tree, or remove an anchor guy or pole reinforcing stub in or upon any public or private street or alley, without having obtained a pole permit and such other permits as may be required by any other ordinance, except, as herein provided, in the case of an emergency when such permit shall be obtained as promptly as possible.
B. It shall be a separate violation of this chapter for any person to permit or direct any employee, subordinate or other person under his supervision to do any of the things prohibited in Subsection A hereof without having obtained all the required approvals and permits and given such permits or proper evidence thereof to the person immediately in charge of those doing the work.
C. No pole permit shall be issued to any person for the erection of poles or appurtenances, or wires, unless all permissions and franchises required for the erection and maintenance thereof have been obtained.
D. Upon approval of an application for permission to remove, replace or relocate an existing pole or appurtenance, guy wire, anchor guy or pole-reinforcing stub, no fee pole permit shall be issued by the Public Works Director.
(1) In the event of a replacement or relocation, such permit shall act as a transfer of the annual permit as to the pole or equipment replaced.
(2) In event of a removal, such permit shall act as a cancellation of the annual permit as to the pole or equipment removed.
E. Upon approval of an application for any other work for which a permit is required under this chapter, a permit shall be obtained by paying to the City Treasurer the proper fee as hereinafter listed.
F. Work for which permits have been obtained shall be done within 60 days of the date of the permit. If not performed within that period, the permit shall expire and a new permit obtained. However, the Director of Public Works shall have authority to extend the effective period of any permit for one period of 60 days, if in his opinion such extension is justified, and he so endorses the permit.
G. There shall be no transfer of permits except as provided in this section.
H. No person shall alter a permit, or use a permit for work not included in the application upon which the permit was issued.
