(A) If, in the opinion of the Director of Public Works, the work proposed to be done requires the furnishing of curb grades or construction plans or the setting of stakes or any of such work and if such information is not available in the office of the Director, the Director, in his discretion, may determine that such information shall be provided by any one of the following methods:
(1) The Director may require the application to be accompanied by the necessary plans, which shall be prepared by a competent engineer. If such plans are required, in addition to the issuance fee, a fee as set by City Council resolution, based on the estimated construction cost, as determined by the Director, shall be collected, which fee shall be for plan review and inspection of the construction.
(2) The Director may have such work performed by his staff, in which case the applicant shall pay to the city a percentage of the cost of the curb and gutter construction abutting his property in addition to the issuance fee, as set by City Council resolution.
(3) The Director may engage a qualified engineer to perform the work, for which the applicant shall pay to the city a percentage of the cost of the curb and gutter construction abutting his property in addition to the issuance fee, as set by City Council resolution.
(B) Decisions of the Director under this section shall be subject to the availability of funds, and the scope of the work undertaken shall be commensurate with and reasonable in relation to the amount of curb and gutter which the applicant wishes to install. Waivers may be granted, pursuant to other applicable ordinances and regulations of the city, where the present installation of curb and gutter is deemed by the Director to be impractical.
