A. Permits will be issued by the city recorder. No permit will be issued for work upon any street when the grade has not been legally established, while a proposition to alter or amend the grade thereof is pending before the council, or after the council has granted a petition or adopted a resolution to improve the street.

B. The city recorder may refuse a permit if in his judgment the proposed improvement to be made is not a suitable one for the place, or will not be uniform with existing or proposed improvements of the streets in the immediate vicinity thereof, or when the improvement contemplates the removal of earth from any street when it may be necessary to secure the deposit of said earth upon another part of said street.

C. The city recorder shall specify in permits issued as herein provided the kind of work to be done and the time in which the same is to be completed. It shall be the duty of the city engineer to make the necessary survey and make the grade for any improvement for which a permit is issued; provided, however, that if the work is not done within the time specified in the permit and a second survey becomes necessary, such survey shall be at the expense of the party applying therefor. All permits issued for the construction of cement or artificial stone sidewalks or curbs shall have the specifications therefor, and such other information as the city recorded may deem pertinent thereto, printed on the back thereof. (Ord. 2763 §3, 1958).
