When the municipality shall improve or pave any street, the
Manager first shall give notice to all persons owning property abutting
on the street about to be paved or improved, and to all public utility
companies and authorities operating in the municipality, and all such
persons, public utility companies and authorities shall make all connections
as well as any repairs thereto which would necessitate excavation
of the street, within 60 days from the giving of such notice. The
time shall be extended if permission is requested in writing and approved
by the Manager after consultation with the Municipal Engineer.
No permit shall be issued by the Manager which would allow an
excavation or opening in a paved and improved street surface less
than five years old unless the applicant can demonstrate clearly that
public health or safety require that the proposed work be permitted
or unless an emergency condition exists.
If a permit is issued pursuant to this chapter for a newly improved
street, all repairs to said newly improved street shall be by a full-width
overlay.
