It shall be unlawful for any person to cut into any paving, curb, or sidewalk for the purpose of constructing a driveway or any other purpose whatsoever without first having obtained a written permit from the Village Engineer therefor. Before any person shall obtain a permit, he or she shall inform the Village Clerk of the place where such cutting is to be done, and it shall be the Overseer of Streets duty to inspect the place of entry into the paving, sidewalk, or curb, before the same is cut. When cutting into any paving, it shall be the duty of the party to cut the paving under such rules and regulations as may be prescribed by the Board of Trustees or the Village Engineer. When the applicant is ready to close the opening made, he or she shall inform the Village Engineer, who shall supervise and inspect the materials used and the work done in closing the opening. It shall be discretionary with the Board of Trustees to order the Overseer of Streets, under the supervision and inspection of the Village Engineer, to do the work of cutting and closing the paving and charge the costs thereof to the party who obtained such permit. The Board of Trustees may consent to the work of cutting and closing the paving to be done by the party holding such permit. Before any permit is issued by the Board of Trustees, the applicant for such permit shall deposit with the Village Treasurer a sum set by resolution of the Board of Trustees for all paving, curb, or sidewalk to be cut. Such sum shall be set on a per square foot cost of construction basis. The deposit shall be retained by the village for the purpose of replacing the paving, curb, or sidewalk, in the event the work is done by the village. In the event the village elects to require the applicant to replace the paving, curb, or sidewalk, the deposit shall be retained by the village until the work is completed to the satisfaction of the Village Engineer. In addition to making the deposit above set forth, the applicant shall, before any permit is issued, execute a bond to the village with a good and sufficient surety or sureties to be approved by the Board of Trustees in a sum set by resolution of the Board of Trustees.
