C. Utility Drawing Requirements: Whenever the work involves the extension, placement or the relocation of a utility easement, two (2) copies of the drawings shall be provided for the city engineer for approval which detail the location and type of the proposed facility. Work involving maintenance of existing facilities or placement of laterals does not require a drawing.
D. Street Excavation In Winter: Excavation of city streets during the winter months (herein defined as November 15 to April 1) will be allowed only if the work is a new service connection, required maintenance or emergency, or otherwise approved by the city. Permanent patching of a city street excavated in winter may be delayed until April 1, provided the permittee maintains a temporary untreated base course surface until such time as the permanent surfacing is accomplished. This provision applies regardless of whether the permittee or city crews are performing the permanent resurfacing. (Ord. 09-02, 3-10-2009)
