No person to whom a permit has been granted
shall perform any work beyond that specified in the permit without
approval by the Director for additional work under the provisions
of the permit. Any additional deposit required shall be provided prior
to commencement of the additional work.
Work for which a permit has been issued shall
commence within six months after issuance of the permit therefor.
If not so commenced, the permit shall be automatically terminated
unless the permittee applies to the Director for an extension of time.
A new application must be filed if an extension of time is not requested
within the six-month period after the issuance of the original permit.
Permits are not transferable from one person
to another, and the work shall not be made in any place other than
the location specifically designated in the permit.
Every permit shall expire within the time stated
in the permit. If work is not completed within the specified time,
the applicant shall submit to the Director, in writing, a request
for an extension of time setting forth therein the reasons for the
requested extension. If, in the opinion of the Director, such an extension
is necessary and will not cause disruption to public safety, the permittee
may be granted additional time for the completion of the work.
All street openings required by utilities owned
and/or operated by the Borough shall be made and restored under the
direction and supervision of the Director. The permit fee, deposit
and insurance requirements of this article shall not be applicable
to any openings made by the Borough. Permit fees shall also be waived
for any public utility.
Any person receiving a permit shall agree to
the following:
A. Work will not interfere with proper drainage of the
street.
B. The Chatham Borough Police Department will be contacted
prior to the commencement of the work for approval of traffic control
procedures, signs and other road safety precautions if the road is
to be closed for any length of time.
C. No work will be started until the Director has:
(1) Inspected the proposed work location.
(2) Approved the plan submitted with the application.
(3) Stamped the application as "approved."
D. The applicant will comply with all provisions of this
article and other Borough ordinances.
E. The applicant shall notify the Director:
(1) Prior to completion of temporary pavement replacement.
(2) Prior to completion of permanent pavement.
Any person submitting an application for a permit
shall pay a permit fee of $25 at the time of application. Public utility
companies may, upon written notice to the Director, elect to be billed
monthly for such fees as they accrue.
