(A) It shall be the duty of the licensed inspector and City Engineer to review the proposed encroachment to ensure it does not pose an adverse affect to public safety or convenience and where appropriate, shall order any necessary repairs, alterations, or removal.
(B) When the encroachment meets all the requirements of this and any other ordinance of the city, including, but not limited to, §§ 150.20 and 150.21, referred to as the Sign Code, and the laws of the state, the licensed inspector shall then issue an encroachment permit, provided the applicant pays the required fee as defined in § 96.061 and furnishes the necessary certificate of insurance as defined in § 96.063, if applicable. In the event the licensed inspector does not believe granting the encroachment permit would be in the best interest of the city, he or she may deny the granting of a permit.
(C) If the applicant does not concur with the decision of the licensed inspector either to make repairs, alterations, or removal, or the licensed inspector’s decision to deny the application, the application shall be transmitted to the City Council for approval or disapproval. The decision of City Council shall be final.
