§ 26-96. Excavation in new streets limited.

(a)

Whenever the village board determines to provide for the permanent improvement or repaving on any street, such determination shall be made not less than 30 days before the work of improvement or repaving shall begin. Immediately after such determination by the village board, the public works director shall notify in writing each person, utility, village department or other agency owning or controlling any sewer, water main, conduit or other utility in or under the street or any real property abutting the street that all such excavation work in such street must be completed within 30 days.

(b)

After such permanent improvement or repaving, no permit shall be issued to open, cut or excavate the street for a period of five years after the date of improvement or repaving unless, in the opinion of the public works director, an emergency exists which makes it absolutely essential that the permit be issued.
