§ 14-121. Permits required for public right-of-way repair and excavations.

(a)

No person shall make, or cause to be made, any excavation in a public right-of-way in the village without first obtaining from the village a written permit to do so as hereinafter provided, or as required by the department of building and zoning or by the department of public works. Furthermore, it shall be unlawful for any person to break, excavate, tunnel, undermine or in any manner affect the surface or base of any public right-of way or to place, deposit or leave upon any street any earth of any other excavated material obstructing or tending to interfere with the free use of the public right-of-way. Examples of excavations requiring permits include, but are not limited to, borings, utility openings, trenchless excavations and augering.

(b)

In addition to the above, the department of building and zoning or the department of public works may require a written permit for those construction and other projects requiring the use of heavy trucks, excavation equipment, and other large vehicles and equipment, importing or exporting materials along or over public rights-of-way located in the village, which may potentially cause damage to public rights-of-way requiring repair in accordance to this division.
