15.60.050 Waiver.
To excavate in a prohibition street, a waiver must be obtained. To request a waiver, the applicant must submit a written request to the director of public works or city engineer. The request must include:
A. The location of the excavation;
B. Description of the work to be performed;
C. The reason(s) the work was not performed before the street was paved;
D. The reason(s) the work cannot be deferred until after the prohibition period;
E. The reason(s) the work cannot be performed at another location; and
F. The reason(s) it is justified to excavate the prohibition street.
Before issuing a waiver, the engineer will verify that the applicant has analyzed all feasible alternatives to make the necessary repairs using a trenchless method in prohibition streets to avoid excavating a newly resurfaced street whenever possible. The engineer shall grant a waiver if the applicant demonstrates that one or more of the circumstances under Section 15.60.040 exists and that the work cannot be completed using a trenchless method.
