(1) To obtain a right-of-way placement permit the applicant shall file an application with the City Manager. The applicant may request a blanket permit for the current calendar year to cover repetitive work or the repetitive installation of like facilities at different locations throughout the City. A blanket permit may be issued at the discretion of the City Manager.

(2) Every application shall include the location of the proposed right-of-way use, a description of the use, the planned duration of the use, applicant contact information, and all other information which may be required as specified in procedures adopted under this chapter and shall be accompanied by payment of the required fees.

(3) The City Manager shall examine each application submitted for review and approval to determine if it complies with the applicable provisions of this chapter and procedures adopted under this chapter. Other departments that have authority over the proposed use or activity may be required to review and approve or disapprove the application. The City Manager may inspect the right-of-way proposed for use to determine any facts which may aid in determining whether a permit should be granted. If the City Manager finds that the application conforms to the requirements of this chapter and procedures adopted under this chapter, that the proposed use of such right-of-way will not unduly interfere with the rights and safety of the public, and if the application has not been disapproved by a department with authority, the City Manager may approve the permit, and may impose such conditions thereon as are reasonably necessary to protect the public health, welfare, and safety and to mitigate any impacts resulting from the use.

(4) All applications for permits will be submitted 15 days or more before the planned need for the permit. If unforeseen conditions require expedited processing time the City will attempt to cooperate, but additional fees to cover additional costs to the City shall be charged.

(5) Upon submittal of a completed application, the City Manager shall collect from the applicant an application fee and the estimated Permit Plan and Development Review Fee in such amount as authorized by the current fee resolution. (Ord. 20-07 § 32; Ord. 22-99 § 1)
