Article VIII. STREET CUTS |
§ 49-207. Moratorium.
(a)
No street cuts shall be allowed in any public street or alley for a period of three (3) years from the completion of street resurfacing and/or reconstruction without written approval from the manager. Written approvals will be issued only after submittal and approval of a plan outlining the course of remediation. Street cuts required due to emergency situations shall require submittal of a plan within forty-eight (48) hours from the time of the cut for the approval of the manager, outlining the course of remediation. Remediation will consist of a curb to curb profile and overlay, a centerline to curb profile and overlay or a lane line to curb profile and overlay whichever is necessary in order not to decrease the life expectancy of the street surface.
(b)
Street cuts performed during the months of December, January and February shall be limited in quantity and extent. Due to problems associated with permanent patching during adverse winter conditions, street cuts shall be performed only under conditions which will provide adequate time for permanent patching to be completed using material approved by the city engineer. The manager shall be notified in advance of all work occurring during these winter months.
