(B) Each permit for such excavation shall be confined to a single project and shall be issued by the Mayor, the Village Administrator or other duly appointed official. The fee for such permit shall be $75. Application shall be made on a form prescribed by Council, giving the exact location of the proposed excavation, the kind of paving, the area and depth to be excavated and such other facts as may be provided for.
