(A) Permits for paving, grading, or use of any portion of a public right-of-way or easement for any purpose may be granted by the City Engineer, when, in his or her discretion, the safety and convenience of the city can be protected. The City Engineer may impose any such conditions upon said permit which are deemed necessary to protect the safety and convenience of the city.
(B) All such permits shall be clearly marked to indicate that they are revocable at the will of the city, and that their issuance in no way grants to the permittee or his or her successors any right to the continued use of such right-of-way or easement.
(C) If any person undertakes any activity as a result of an emergency within a public right-of-way or easement without a permit as required by this chapter, a permit shall be obtained within 48 hours of the emergency activity. An emergency shall exist, if, without undertaking the activity in the right-of-way or easement, there is an immediate danger of damage occurring to life or property. If it is determined by the City Engineer that no emergency existed at the time of the activity, the City Engineer may require removal of any objects placed within the public right-of-way or easement and/or deny the requested permit. Additionally, the person shall be subject to enforcement action as provided for by this Code or as otherwise provided for by law.
