Bond: When it is the opinion of the director of public works or the village engineer that the work for which a permit shall issue hereunder will disturb or destroy such a lawn, then the permittee shall post a bond in the sum of five hundred dollars ($500.00) in addition to the permit fee charged herein. Such bond shall be promptly released to the permittee immediately upon completion of the work and restoration of the lawn within the parkway and inspection and approval by the director of public works.
