§ 11-205. CONDITIONS TO BE MET BEFORE PERMIT IS ISSUED.  


Latest version.
  • (a) The head of the public works department may require, as a condition of issuing a permit, the written approval from the Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Company, the Pacific Gas and Electric Company's Engineering Department, the City Parks and Recreation Department, the Fresno Police Department, the City Traffic Engineer, the City Electrician Foreman (Fire Alarm System) and the City Electrician Foreman (Street Lighting and Traffic Signals). Should either or both of the city electrician foremen be unavailable, then approval shall be obtained from the City Electrical Engineer or his authorized representative.

    (b) When a building is to be moved from a site within the city limits, there must be on file with the Department of Public Works a permit authorizing a licensed plumber to cap the existing sewer at that site. The applicant for a permit to move such building shall also have made application to the City Water Division for water shut-off, and to the Pacific Gas and Electric Company for gas shut-off and for removal of service wires and meter at said site.

    (c) When a building is to be moved into the city limits to a site within the city, the applicant for a permit to move such building shall have obtained the approval of a building inspector of the Department of Public Works and the approval of the Planning Department of the city.

    (d) The head of the public works department may require, as a condition of issuing a permit, a cash security deposit, in a sum which, in the opinion of the head of the public works department, will be sufficient to pay for the cost of displacement, cutting, or removal of property of the city, and the repair or replacement thereof, including wages of persons employed therefor. Such deposit shall not relieve the applicant from responsibility for such costs in excess of the amount of the security deposit.

    (e) Should the applicant have failed to pay, in full, for the cost of displacement, cutting, or removal of property of the city, and the repair or replacement thereof, including wages of persons employed therefor, as provided in Section 11-206, as a result of any such prior permit issued, then the head of the public works department may refuse to issue the permit until such time as it is established that said costs are paid in full.
