(A) No excavation permit shall be issued unless a written application for the issuance of an excavation permit is submitted to the City Manager. The written application shall state that the applicant agrees to comply with prescribed procedures for making and restoring cuts and to make the necessary payments for work performed by the city. The application, when approved and signed by the City Manager, shall constitute a permit. The permit fees shall be in amounts as established by resolution of the City Council. Fees shall be doubled if the start of construction occurs prior to application of the permit.

(B) One permit may cover more than one cut providing the following conditions are met:

(1) Cuts shall be within a 400-foot section of street.

(2) All work to all cuts is performed by the same contractor.

(3) Each cut is listed on the cut permit with a map showing the location and size.

(C) No permit shall be given to an applicant without information regarding the contractor performing the restoration of the city right-of-way. If more than one contractor is used to perform the cut restoration, or the contractor changes, a new cut permit shall be required.
