When the proposed work area abuts the municipal airport, the Inspector shall notify Airport <br />Division personnel. Airport personnel shall either locate their facilities or provide the <br />Inspector with the necessary plans in order to perform the permit review. <br />Staff understands that time is of the essence for permit issuance. Generally, the permit review <br />process should be completed and the permit issued within 10 working days from the date of <br />application. Permits involving large projects, special conditions, or requiring review of other City <br />divisions may take additional time to review. Upon completion of the review process, Maintenance <br />Planning personnel shall list any required modifications, and if appropriate, sign and issue the <br />approved permit. <br />Unapproved permits shall be returned to the applicant with a written statement listing the City's <br />concerns and reasons for the permit's denial. Also where possible, suggestions for changes which <br />would result in the permit being approved will be listed. <br />The applicant for a permit that is denied shall have the right of appeal to the City Manager. See EC <br />7.295(5). (See EC 2.021 for appeal procedures.) <br />Except as outlined in Section 2.E below, permits shall not be issued "after the fact" for work <br />performed without a permit or prior approval of the Inspector. The facility owner shall be liable for <br />all fees and costs associated with research, investigation, coordination; inspection, and data <br />management performed by City staff, including overhead, which may be required as a result of any <br />un-permitted work. <br />Permit fees for individualright-of--way cut or work permits shall be paid upon issuance of the permit, <br />unless the applicant has previously made arrangements to be billed by the City. Permit fees will be <br />calculated by the City staffissuing the permit pursuant to the fee schedule set by administrative order <br />of the City Manager. <br />Because permit review and inspection activities can be more efficient for joint trench installations <br />involving multiple utilities in a joint trench, a matrix of graduated permit fees is included in the fee <br />schedule. Using the permit fee matrix, the Inspector shall determine the individual permit fee which <br />most appropriately reflects the characteristics of the proposed work. <br />2.D.4 Expiration. <br />Right-of--way cut or work permits shall be valid for a period not to exceed 180 days from the date <br />issued. Work may not be performed under an expired permit. Permit renewals shall follow the same <br />process as that used for a new permit. <br />Utility permits which have not expired may qualify for a single 180-day extension. Requests for <br />permit extensions must be in writing and received by the Traffic Technical Team Supervisor at 1820 <br />Utility & lZ/W Permit Manual <br />Exhibit A - 16 <br />C:\WINDOWS\Temporary lnternet Files\OLKB202\03rowrlexa.wpd -Manual (03ROWR 1).WPD(11/07/03) <br />
