(1) Public works may issue a permit for a street opening or pavement cut between November 15 and December 15 if it is determined that special or unforeseen circumstances require the issuance of the permit or if the applicant for the permit is a public utility. If Public Works determines that an extension should be allowed, the applicant may be required to comply with any of the following additional items:

In addition, any applicant requesting an extension shall agree to provide a permanent patch or closure for the street cut the following summer when the ground and weather permit the same.
(2) In no event shall a permit for a street cut be issued after December 15 except in the case of an emergency or upon specific approval by a resolution of the Town Council.
