STAFF REPORT
To: Mayor and Members of the City Council
Attention: Keith R. Till, City Manager
From: Stephen G. Badum, Director of Public Works/City Engineer
Subject: PUBLIC WORKS PERMIT -PUBLIC PROPERTY
POLICY & PROCEDURES
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
The proposed action will adopt policy and procedures for the issuance of Public Works
Permits on public property.
DISCUSSION:
The Department of Public Works is responsible for maintaining infrastructure within the
public rights of way. In order to accommodate the needs of utilities, businesses, and
residents while protecting the City's infrastructure, a permit system with formalized
policies and procedures is needed. The Department of Public Works has been
implementing the proposed permit polices and procedures for several years. The formal
adoption of this policy and procedure by City Council will reaffirm the Public Works
Department's program and ensure uniform application of permit requirements.
The goals of the Public Works permit program are to:
• Ensure that the public safety and welfare remain un-compromised
• Keep public areas public; not allow enjoyment of public space to be reserved for
private use
• Maintain quality construction standards and practices
• Prevent interference with utility lines and operations
• Provide public safety, access, and travel
• Preserve integrity of existing infrastructure to prevent costly future maintenance
• Preserve open space for drainage and aesthetics
The permit system consists of two basic types of Public Works permits. The first type of
permit is the standard Public Works Permit. This permit enables residents, businesses,
utilities and other public agencies the ability to remove and construct standard street
improvements such as curb, gutter, sidewalks, pavement, driveways, and alleys; install

public utilities; temporarily store materials or debris in streets; remove, plant, or trim street
trees; and temporarily close or restrict street traffic. The second type of permit is a Public
works Permit with a Non-Standard Improvement Agreement. This type of permit enables
residents, businesses, utilities and other public agencies the ability to construct non-
standard improvements such as decorative street improvements, awnings and marquees in
commercial areas, and low walls within unused portions of street right of ways adjacent to
residential properties. Permittees must enter into a formal agreement to indemnify the
City and guarantee maintenance of the improvement.
Key provisions of the Public Works Permit Policy are highlighted as follows:
Open Space/Drainage—In order to promote street aesthetics and drainage, a maximum
of 25% hardscape (concrete, pavers, brick, raised planters (max. 6"), etc.) and a minimum
of 75% landscaped area is permitted within the parkway area between the street curb and
sidewalk.
Low walls in parkway—Walls 42" or less are permitted to encroach into the public
parkway providing that a minimum 18" landscaped area be maintained between the back
of sidewalk and the wall.
Permitted parkway landscaping—Residents may plant and irrigate the parkway areas
without a permit providing: that the irrigation system is an underground type with"pop-
up" irrigation heads; and the mature plantings do not exceed one foot in height to maintain
passenger access to parked vehicles along the curb and to maintain safe sight distances.
Existing Non-conforming Encroachments—Existing non-conforming improvements in
existence as of October 1, 1999 may remain in place whether or not a valid permit has
been issued, until the earlier of the following events:
1. The City revokes the permit or requires the removal of such improvements due to
safety concerns or in the course of utilizing the public right of way to accommodate
public improvements.
2. When the building on adjacent private property is removed; the building has been
substantially remodeled, or an addition has been built exceeding four hundred square
feet; or the property owner voluntarily elects to remove the encroachment.
Street Preservation —A moratorium on excavating newly paved streets for a period of
five years for overlaid or newly re-constructed streets and three years for recently slurry
sealed streets. Emergency work is permitted with strict full width repaving criteria.
Trenching in concrete alleys, curbs, gutters and sidewalk require the replacement of full
panels (sections between existing joints). One year warranty is required for all work
except utility trenches and above ground facilities must be maintained indefinitely. Non-
standard improvements must be maintained by the permittee indefinitely.

FISCAL IMPACT:
Permit fees will remain in effect as established by the City's fee resolution. The City
currently implements a full cost recovery permit program where fees are set on a time and
materials basis for plan review and inspection.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that City Council affirm the existing Public Works Permit program and
adopt the proposed policies and procedures. Upon approval of this policy, the Public
works Department will compile an easy to use brochure to communicate the policy to the
general public.

Section-14. Special Conditions for Street Excavations in New Street Pavements.
The following conditions are designed to preserve the integrity of new streets
and forestall deterioration by preventing storm water intrusion and differential
settlement that is often associated with street patching. It is not the intention of
this section to prohibit necessary improvements to the infrastructure.
(a) Excavations within streets that have been reconstructed or overlaid
within five years, or slurry sealed within three years shall be prohibited except
during emergencies as determined by the administrative authority.
(b) Certain emergencies may occur that necessitate the open cutting of
new street pavement. If an installation or repair is critically needed and no other
10/07/99 11
alternatives exist, the administrative authority may approve an open cut within
new pavements under the following criteria:
(1) Recently Paved/Overlaid Streets
Final resurfacing shall include the grinding of existing
surrounding pavement and repaving at a minimum depth of
11/2'. For trenches perpendicular to traffic lanes, the
permittee shall grind 10' on either side of the trench line for
residential streets and 50' for arterial streets on either side of
the trench line and for the full width of any traffic lane(s)
that has been cut. For trenches parallel to the traffic lanes,
the permittee shall grind the entire width of the traffic
lane(s) for the full length of the trench, but not less than 100'.
For trenches other than perpendicular or parallel to traffic
lanes, the administrative authority shall establish
appropriate limits of paving. At the discretion of the
administrative authority, full width slurry seal may be
substituted for overlay in residential areas. Transverse
paving joints shall be perpendicular to the direction of travel
and longitudinal paving joints shall not be permitted in
vehicle wheel paths. All work shall meet all applicable
standards.
(2) Recently Slurry Sealed Streets
Slurry Seal shall be applied to the patched area no sooner
than 30 days or later than 90 days after the completion of the
pavement repair. For trenches perpendicular to traffic lanes,
the permittee shall slurry seal 10' on either side of the trench
line for residential streets and 50' for arterial streets on either
side of the trench line and for the full width of any traffic
lane(s) that has been cut. For trenches parallel to the traffic
lanes, the permittee shall slurry seal the entire width of the
traffic lane(s) for the full length of the trench, but not less
than 100'. For trenches other than perpendicular or parallel
to traffic lanes, the administrative authority shall establish
appropriate limits of paving. Transverse paving joints shall
be perpendicular to the direction of travel and longitudinal
paving joints shall not be permitted in vehicle wheel paths.
All work shall meet all applicable standards.
Section 15. Special Conditions for Excavations within Concrete Pavements and
Improvements. The following conditions are designed to preserve the integrity
of existing concrete improvements and forestall deterioration by preventing
10/07/99 12
storm water intrusion and differential settlement that is often associated with
trenching within concrete surfaces. It is not the intention of this section to
prohibit necessary improvements to the infrastructure. These conditions shall
apply to all work performed within the public right of way that involves the
removal and replacement of concrete improvements such as alley and street
pavement, sidewalk, curb, gutter, access ramps, and other miscellaneous
improvements.
(1) The limits of removal and concrete replacement shall be
approved by the administrative authority. Removal limits shall
coincide with existing expansion and weakened plane joints to
preserve uniform expansion and contraction properties and
aesthetic appearance.
(2) The limits of all removals shall be sawcut. Emergency and
interim removals without sawcutting operations are permitted
providing that sawcutting and additional removal to approved
limits be performed prior to the final replacement of concrete
pavement and/or improvements. Discharges resulting from the
concrete cutting operations shall not be allowed to enter any
drainage course or facility.
Section-16. Abandonment of Substructures. Whenever the use of a substructure
is abandoned, except the abandonment of service lines designed to serve single
properties, the person owning, using, controlling, or having an interest therein,
shall within thirty days after such abandonment file with the administrative
authority a statement in writing giving in detail the location of the substructure
so abandoned. If such abandoned substructure is in the way, or subsequently
becomes in the way, of an installation of the City of any other public body,
which installation is pursuant to a governmental function, the owner shall
remove such abandoned substructure or pay the cost of its removal during the
course of excavation for construction of the facility by the City or any other
public body. All surface appurtenances of the substructure shall be removed, to
the satisfaction of the City Engineer,within thirty days of abandonment.
Section-17. Protection of Adjoining Property. The permittee shall at all times
and at his or its own expense preserve and protect from injury an adjoining
property by providing proper foundations and taking other measures suitable
for the purpose. Where in the protection of such property it is necessary to enter
upon private property for the purpose of taking appropriate protecting
measures, the permittee shall obtain a license from the owner of such private
property for such purpose and if he cannot obtain a license from such owner, the
administrative authority may authorize him to enter the private premises solely
for the purpose of making the property safe. The permittee shall, at its own
10/07/99 13
expense shore up and protect all buildings,walls, fences or other property likely
to be damaged during he progress of the excavation work and shall be
responsible for all damage to public or private property or highways resulting
from its failure properly to protect and carry out said work. Whenever it may be
necessary for the permittee to trench through lawn area, the sod shall be
carefully cut and rolled and replaced after ditches have been backfilled as
required in this policy. All construction and maintenance work shall be done in
a manner calculated to leave the lawn area clean of earth and debris and in a
condition as nearly as possible to that which existed before such work began.
The permittee shall not remove, even temporarily, any trees or shrubs which
exist in parking strip areas without first obtaining the consent of the appropriate
city department or city official having control of such property.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this policy, whenever the
Administrative Authority determines that any work proposed to be performed
under any public works permit might endanger any adjoining or nearby public
or private property, he/she may require, as a condition precedent to the issuance
of such permit, that there be provided a cash bond or a surety bond by an
authorized surety company in a form acceptable and approved by the City
Attorney. The surety or cash bond shall be conditioned upon the repair in
accordance with the requirements of the Administrative Authority of any and all
damage to private property (other than utilities) which, in the opinion of the
Administrative Authority, was wholly or partially caused as a direct or indirect
result of any work under such permit. At the option of the Administrative
Authority, the permittee shall either (1) repair, in the manner directed by the
Administrative Authority, of any and all damage to public ways, other public
property, substructures and utilities,which in the opinion of the Administrative
Authority was wholly or partially caused as the direct or indirect result of any
work under such permit, or (2) the payment of the cost of any such repairs, made
by the City or owner of any utility, or both.
Section-18. Prompt Completion of Work. After an excavation is commenced, the
permittee shall prosecute with diligence and expedition all excavation work
covered by the excavation permit and shall promptly complete such work and
restore the street to its original condition, or as near as may be, so as not to
obstruct the public place or travel thereon more than is reasonably necessary.
Section-19. Urgent Work. When traffic conditions, the safety or convenience of
the traveling public or the public interest require that the excavation work be
performed as emergency work the time the permit is granted, that a crew of men
and adequate facilities be employed by the permittee twenty-four hours a day to
the end that such excavation work may be completed as soon as possible
10/07/99 14
Section-20. Emergency Action. Nothing in this policy shall be construed to
prevent the making of such excavations as may be necessary for the preservation
of life or property or for the location of trouble in conduit or pipe, or for making
repairs, provided that the person making such excavation shall apply to the
administrative authority for such a permit on the first working day after such
work is commenced.
Section-21. Inspections. The administrative authority shall make such
inspections as are reasonably necessary in the enforcement of this policy. The
administrative authority shall have the authority to promulgate and cause to be
enforced such rules and regulations as may be reasonably necessary to enforce
and carry out the intent of this policy.
Section-22. Maintenance of Drawings. Every person owning, using, controlling
or having an interest in substructures, under the surface of any public place used
for the purpose of supplying or conveying gas, electricity, communication
impulse,water,wastewater, steam, chemicals or petroleum products in the City,
shall file with the administrative authority within one hundred twenty days after
the adoption of this policy a map or set of map each drawn to a scale of not less
than one inch to two hundred feet, scale showing in detail the plan, location, size
and kind of installation, if known, of all substructures, except service lines
designed to served single properties beneath the surface of the public place
belonging to, used by or under the control of such person having any interest,
and shall file with the administrative authority annually at a time specified by
the administrative authority, a corrected map or set of maps each drawn to said
scale including all installations made during the previous year to and including
the last day of such year, provided, however, that a public utility owner may at
its option provide corrected atlas sheets at more frequent intervals.
Section-23. Liability of City. This policy shall not be construed as imposing
upon the City or any official or employee any liability or responsibility for
damages to any person injured by the performance of any encroachment work
for which an encroachment permit is issued hereunder, nor shall the City or any
official or employee thereof be deemed to have assumed any such liability or
responsibility by reason of inspections authorized hereunder the issuance of any
permit or the approval of any encroachment work.
Section-24. General.

granted unless individual circumstances indicate that approval will be consistent
with the public interest and have City Council approval.
10/07/99 15
