[CC 2001 §510.010; Ord. No. 1217 §1, 3-11-2004; Ord. No. 1244 §1, 3-10-2005]
A.
It shall
be unlawful for any person, persons, partnership or corporation to
dig up, tear up or otherwise alter or destroy the surface of any of
the streets, roads or thoroughfares within the corporate limits of
the City of Edmundson, St. Louis County, without first having obtained
from the City Clerk a permit hereinafter described.
B.
The City
Clerk with the consent of the Board of Aldermen is hereby authorized
to issue permits allowing a person, or persons, partnerships, or corporations
to dig up or tear up the surface of any street, road or thoroughfare
within the corporate limits of said City, provided however, that said
work is deemed necessary in connection with plumbing, pipe work, gas
lines, sewage work, or any other excavation pertaining to utilities,
but not limited thereto, with the proper reconstruction of said street,
road, or thoroughfare to serve the general welfare of the inhabitants
of said City, and providing further, that all applicants for such
permits shall deposit with the City Clerk an amount or performance
bond which is satisfactory to the Board of Aldermen in order to guarantee
that such applicant shall satisfactorily replace and renew the surface
of the street, road or thoroughfare upon which said applicant intends
to do the work. All applicants for such permit shall, before such
permit is granted, state in writing before the City Clerk and shall
agree and consent that in the event the renewing or resurfacing of
the street, road or thoroughfare is not satisfactory to the Board
of Aldermen, the said Board shall and is permitted to authorize the
repairing, renewing or resurfacing and the cost of the same shall
be paid by and out of the deposit or bond proceeds, before described.
The amount of the deposit or performance bond shall be set by the
Board of Aldermen taking into consideration the extent and nature
of the work and the cost to bring the street, road or thoroughfare
back into the condition before the work.
C.
The said
permit shall be issued only for a single work order, and shall not
extend or include other work. The permit or license fee shall be set
in an amount that will reimburse the City for its expense in reviewing
the proposed work and inspecting the premises during the course of
the work and at the completion of the work to insure that the work
does not in any way result in damage to the street, roadway or thoroughfare.
