§ 12.08.230. Street obstruction guarantee deposits—Metered and unmetered areas.

The permits required by Section 12.08.200 shall be granted only to the owner or lessee (or agent of either) of the lot upon which a building is proposed to be constructed, altered, or repaired. When an application is made for a permit, the person making such application shall make a deposit with the city for each and every twenty-five (25) feet of the frontage of said lot, or fraction thereof, which is to be occupied in a parking meter district or for each and every fifty (50) feet of lot frontage, or fraction thereof, which is to be occupied in unmetered areas, as the case may be. Said deposit shall guarantee to the city that the permittee will remove or cause to be removed, all dirt, debris and materials of any kind from the street, roadway, or sidewalk area, to the satisfaction of said Director of Public Works/ Superintendent of Streets, and shall reimburse the city for the loss of meter revenue where said obstruction exists in metered areas. Said removal shall be done immediately upon the completion of the construction, alteration or repair of said building, or within the time limit prescribed by said permit. Provided, however, that if at any time prior thereto the Director of Public Works/Superintendent of Streets declares that the public interest or convenience requires the removal of same, or any portion thereof, then said permittee shall promptly remove or cause to be removed said materials from said areas. Every permit granted as in Section 12.08.200 provided and every permit for temporary obstruction, shall be subject to such condition or guarantee.
