(B) The Clerk-Treasurer shall, upon being furnished with a bond by the applicant for a permit, in the sum fixed by the Board of Public Works and Safety and subject to the approval of the Board, and upon the payment to the Clerk-Treasurer of a fee of $10 for the use of the city, issue a permit to the applicant.
(1) The permit shall set forth a brief description of the lot or tract of ground upon which the proposed improvement is to be made, the name of the owner thereof, the estimated cost of the improvement, the portion of the street, alley, sidewalk, or driveway which may be used for building purposes, and the length of time for which the permit may extend.
(2) No permit shall be issued until the bond specified and required above is presented to the Clerk- Treasurer, properly approved.
(3) In no case shall the permit authorize the use of more than one-third of the street, alley, or driveway, or more than one-half of the sidewalk adjoining the place of building, for the building material.
(4) No permit granted by the city under this section shall authorize any person to obstruct the streets, alleys, sidewalks, or driveways of the city and allow the obstructions to remain overnight without taking proper safety precautions.
