§ 90-6. Street openings and curb cuts.

A. 

No person shall excavate, break, alter or disturb the grade, paving or curbing of any street, highway or public place within the Village limits, or excavate or construct any sidewalk, unless such person shall first obtain from the Board of Trustees a permit therefor, signed by the Clerk of the Village, limiting the area and location and duration of such excavation, alteration or disturbance. Any such person is required to make a temporary closing of all street openings, using suitable material which will permit a hardtop over the opening, the temporary closing to be maintained flush with grade by the contractor for a period not to exceed six months, the date to be determined by the Village Inspector. At all times while any opening in any portion of the Village property remains unclosed and unattended, such opening shall be protected by suitable barricades and, from dusk until dawn, by warning lights, all to the satisfaction of the Village Inspector.

B. 

On notification by the Village, such persons shall comply fully with all specifications attached to the permit and replace the temporary closing with permanent paving at his sole expense. Notwithstanding the above, all restoration of utility cuts or road openings on any Village road or street shall include curb to curb resurfacing. The road resurfacing shall include the entire road surface to the stop lines of the nearest street intersections on both sides of the patch.

C. 

Specifications for restoration, closing, maintenance and paving shall be formulated by the Village Engineer or Building Inspector in such a manner as to ensure that suitable materials are used and that the work is performed in a safe and workmanlike manner. Specifications shall be attached to any permit issued pursuant to this article and shall set forth additional regulations and requirements for backfilling, subsurface preparation, base paving and road resurfacing.
