The application shall be accompanied by a plat in duplicate showing the location of each proposed excavation and the dimensions thereof and such other details as the Public Works Director may require. Where in the opinion of the Public Works Director, the work to be done is of a minor nature, the requirement for duplicate plats may be waived, and a sketch on the application form shall be submitted in lieu thereof. Applications for annual blanket permits need not be accompanied by a plat or sketch.

Such deposit shall remain in effect and shall be held by the City for a period of one year after the work of restoration is completed; provided, however, that when in the opinion of the Public Works Director the applicant’s work is of such a nature that the damages, if any, may be immediately determined, the amount of the deposit may be refunded when the work of restoration is completed or at any time within one year thereafter, and conversely, when in the opinion of the Public Works Director the applicant’s work is of such a nature that a period of more than one year is necessary to determine the damages caused by extreme depth of excavation or other such factor, the deposit may be held by the City until such time as all possible damages have been determined but not to exceed five (5) years from the completion of the work of restoration. The Public Works Director is authorized, with the approval of the City Manager, to accept a cash settlement for the return of any deposit sooner than herein provided.
