§ 13.56.080. Permit required.

A.

All Persons conducting Work within the rights-of-way shall obtain a Permit as provided for in this Chapter, unless otherwise exempt.

B.

No Permittee shall perform Work in an area larger, at a location different, or for a longer period of time than that specified in the Permit or Permit application, without the additional authorization described herein. If, after Work is commenced under an approved Permit, it becomes necessary to perform Work in a larger or different area than originally requested under the application or for a longer period of time, the Permittee shall notify the Director immediately and, within twenty-four hours, shall file a supplementary application for the additional Work if required by the Director. Upon order of the Director, all Work which does not comply with the Permit, the accepted plans or specifications for the Work or the requirements of this Chapter shall be removed or relocated at the expense of the Permittee.

C.

The Permittee may subcontract the Work to be performed under a Permit, provided that the Permittee shall be and remain responsible for the performance of the Work under the Permit and all insurance and financial security as required.

D.

In the County, the construction of Infrastructure in new developments is the responsibility of the Developer of the land. Ownership of that Infrastructure remains with the Developer of the land until acceptance by the County. Any Developer of land where Work is undertaken on Infrastructure that is within the rights-of-way, but prior to acceptance by the County, shall obtain a Permit from the County. The County will not accept Infrastructure improvements where Work performed is not in accordance with applicable County Specifications and applicable provisions of this Chapter.

E.

Any Person found to be conducting any Work within the rights-of-way without having first obtained the required Permit(s) shall immediately cease all Work (exclusive of actions required to stabilize the area) and be required to obtain a Permit before Work may be restarted.

F.

No Permit shall be assignable and no Person shall allow his name to be used to obtain a Permit or Permits for any other Person, provided, however that a Contractor may obtain a Permit on behalf of an Owner, in which case both the Contractor's and the Owner's name shall appear on the Application, and both shall be obligated for compliance with all Permit conditions.

G.

All applications for such Permit shall be signed by the Person, or his duly authorized agent, who desires to do the Work designated in said application. Said Permit will become void one hundred eighty days after the date of issue, unless otherwise provided in the Permit or unless extended or revoked by the Director.
