Upon compliance with all the terms, conditions and qualifications provided by this section and sections 25-58 and 25-59 of this Code, the inspection division of the department of public works shall issue a proper permit for the installation, use and operation of an under-sidewalk elevator.

   Sec. 25-60(2). The applicant has filed in the inspection division plans and specifications for the installation and construction of the undersidewalk elevator.

   Sec. 25-60(3). No such under-sidewalk elevator shall be used and operated except during the hours between 9:30 p.m. and 7:00 a.m.

   Sec. 25-60(4). The opening for the undersidewalk elevator shall be adjacent to the curb and as close thereto as is physically possible in order to minimize interference with the pedestrian traffic.

   Sec. 25-60(5). The opening for the undersidewalk elevator shall be not less than twenty (20) feet from the corner property line at any street intersection.

   Sec. 25-60(6). The under-sidewalk elevator shall be so designed that it can be opened only from street level, and that when open, guard rails, barricades, or other similar devices not less than four (4) feet in height from sidewalk level shall be provided so as to protect pedestrians.

   Sec. 25-60(7). The under-sidewalk elevator shall be so located that there shall be in no case less than four (4) feet of clear, unobstructed walkway area remaining on the sidewalk.

   Sec. 25-60(8). No two (2) under-sidewalk elevator openings shall be placed within twenty (20) feet of each other, except when the director of public works shall certify that closer proximity will create no public safety hazard.

   Sec. 25-60(9). That each such elevator opening shall have a cover designed to carry not less than two hundred fifty (250) pounds per square foot; such covers must be flush with the surrounding sidewalk surface; such elevator cover shall be of such design as to be nonskid and prevent the same from becoming slippery when wet.

   Sec. 25-60(10). The construction, design and installation as shown and proposed on the plans and specifications shall be such that there shall be no danger of damage to lateral support of surrounding earth or sidewalk area and of such materials and design that it will safely bear all strains, stresses and weight loads reasonably foreseeable.

   Sec. 25-60(11). Whenever the under-sidewalk elevator shall not be necessary in connection with the business conducted on the abutting property, or shall remain unused in conjunction therewith, for a period of six (6) months or more, the city may cause the permit to be thereupon revoked and the elevator removed, and the opening and under- sidewalk space thereof restored to its former state at the expense of the applicant or his successor owner, after thirty (30) days' written notice therefor.

   Sec. 25-60(12). Whenever the under-sidewalk space occupied by any such elevator is needed by the city for public purposes, the under-sidewalk elevator shall be removed by the owner at his sole expense upon sixty (60) days' written notice therefor; and in the event any such owner shall fail, neglect or refuse to comply with such notice, the city may remove the under-sidewalk elevator at the sole expense of the owner and the city shall have a cause of action for the necessary expense against the owner therefor.

   Sec. 25-60(13). Each such permit issued shall clearly specify on the face thereof that it issued only on the terms and conditions specified in sections 25-58, 25-59 and 25-60 of this Code.

   Sec. 25-60(14). The under-sidewalk elevator and structure shall comply in construction and design with all provisions of the city building code [see section 6-34].

Sec. 25-61. Sale of abandoned streets, alleys; cost of moving nonconforming improvements; installing conforming improvements.

   Sec. 25-61(1). All purchasers of abandoned alleys, streets and other roads are hereby required to pay to the city, as part of the purchase price of the property, all costs estimated to be incurred by the city in removing curb returns, pavement and all other improvements of a similar nature that do not conform to the contiguous property on each side of the alley, street or road and, in addition to pay all estimated costs of installing regular curbs, sidewalks, drains, conduits and other construction necessary to be placed across the abandoned alley, street or road, as estimated in minor section 25-61(3), in order that the abandoned property improvements will conform to those improvements existing on contiguous property on either side thereof.

   Sec. 25-61(2). The provisions of this section shall not automatically apply to a purchaser who files an affidavit with the director of public works stating that all or a portion of the existing improvement will be used by the purchaser and what the use will be. This exception shall then apply to such portion of existing improvements as the director of public works decides the purchaser will reasonably use, but the other portion of the improvement, if there be any, shall be removed and made to conform as near as possible. 

   Sec. 25-61(3). The department of public works of the city is hereby directed to estimate the cost of the removal of nonconforming improvements and the installation of conforming improvements, as hereinbefore provided, and is further directed to convey such information to the mayor and council in order that the costs may be added to and included in the final sale price of the property.

   Sec. 25-61(4). Immediately after the sale of such abandoned property, the department of public works of the city is hereby authorized and directed to remove the nonconforming improvements and to construct conforming improvements as hereinbefore provided in minor section 25-61(1) of this section.

Sec. 25-62. Changes in street names.*

__________

*   Editors Note: This section appeared for the first time in the original codification of this Code. This format has been employed by the editors to simplify the amendment process when street names are changed. In the codification of Ord. No. 2657 (see footnotes, articles I, II and III), this section was redesignated as § 25-62 by the editor. It had been previously numbered § 25-31. The addition of this extra section to article II accounts for the difference in numbering of article III appearing in this Code and that which was called for by Ord. No. 2657.

__________

Names of streets will be changed from time to time by ordinance. Three (3) copies of the current ordinances designating street name changes will be kept on file by the city clerk.

   Editors Note: Street names have been changed or effected by the following ordinances:
