(B) To require and receive accompanying each application a fee of $1 for each bench where the permit is to be issued after July 1, and a fee of $2 where the permit is to be issued before July 1, in any year, and thereafter a fee of $2 to be paid annually for each bench;

(1) Where any of the standards, specifications, or conditions herein required have not been fully complied with;
(2) Where the maintenance of a bench at a granted or proposed location would tend to obstruct passage along a public street or sidewalk, or to create a hazard to persons traveling thereon, or would not promote the convenience of the traveling public and allow free and customary use of any street, alley or sidewalk;
(3) Where the applicant or permittee fails to install and place such benches on the approved location ready for use within five days after permission is granted.
