Is shall be unlawful for any person, firm or corporation to
dig, excavate or construct in, on or under any newly paved street,
highway, road or alley for a period of five years following the date
of completing the paving or repaving of a said surface. Whenever any
person, firm or corporation desires to dig, excavate or construct
in, on or under any street, road or alley in the Borough, he shall
first make application to the Borough for a permit. If the Borough
approves of the issuance of the permit, the Borough shall provide
such specifications as are deemed necessary for the protection of
the integrity of the Borough street, highway, road or alley, which
may include specifications for a complete overlay of the area affected
by the excavation. This requirement shall also specifically apply
to any person, firm or corporation that receives permission from the
Borough to dig, open or excavate in or under any street, highway,
road or alley of the Borough for emergency purposes.
In case of any emergency, the Borough may grant permission to
dig, open or excavate in or under any street, highway, road or alley
within the period of five years upon application therefor accompanied
by a fee established by resolution of the Borough, and payable to
the Borough, which fee shall be in addition to any charge now made
for a permit to dig, excavate or open a street.
