Atascadero Municipal Code Art. 7 Additional Requirements

As the work progresses, all public places, rights-of-way and streets where an encroachment is permitted shall be thoroughly cleaned of all rubbish, excess earth, rock and other debris. All cleanup operations at the location shall be done on a daily basis and be accomplished at the expense of the permittee. From time to time as may be ordered by the Engineer, and in any event immediately after completion of the work, the permittee shall clean up and remove all materials, earth and debris of any kind. If the permittee fails within 24 hours after having been notified to do so by the Engineer or designee, the work may be done by the Department and the permittee charged in accordance with the schedule of charges adopted by the City Council. When a pole, guy-stub or similar timber is removed and not replaced, the entire length thereof shall be removed from the ground and the hole backfilled and compacted.

(Ord. 332 § 2, 1997; Ord. 438 § 4, 2004)

Every application shall contain a statement, signed by the applicant, that if any obstruction placed in the area for which an encroachment permit is issued interferes with the future use of the public place, right-of-way or street by the public, then the applicant or his or her successors or assigns will at his or her own or successors' or assigns' expense remove or relocate such obstruction to a location satisfactory to the Engineer. The statement signed by the applicant will not apply in cases when the applicant has an easement superior to the public use at the time of application and can furnish evidence, when required, of such superior easement. Utilities operating under franchises granted by the City shall relocate their facilities in accordance with the terms of such franchise.
