Each applicant for a permit required by Sections 1337.02 and 1337.05 shall submit to the Director of Engineering plans and specifications fully disclosing and outlining the manner in which the applicant proposes to divert, obstruct, drain or otherwise vary the location, directions, size or capacity of such drainage ditch, depression or conduit. The Director shall issue a permit only if the applicant's proposed action will not create such danger of flooding, backing or stagnation as will constitute a substantial risk to the health or safety of persons residing in the area surrounding or served by such drainage ditch, depression or other conduit, or endanger the property situated in the area, and further, unless an alternate method of drainage satisfactory to the Director and of at least substantially equal capacity is provided by such plans and specifications, and only if the proposed action will not materially reduce the drainage capacity of such drainage ditch, depression or other conduit.
Upon being satisfied that the work to be done by the applicant will comply with the requirements of this section, and upon the payment of a fee of ten dollars ($10.00) plus a cost not to exceed the City's costs for each hour or fraction thereof over one hour required for inspection and upon the posting of the cash or bond required by Section 1337.07, the Director shall issue a permit to take the action proposed.
