Dublin Municipal Code Art. II Permit Requirements

No person shall move over or cause to be moved over the surface of any street or over any bridge or other structure maintained by the city any oversize/overweight vehicle without having first obtained a permit as required in this chapter.

(Ord. 13 § 1 (part), 1982; Ord. 16-89 § 7)

The City Engineer shall provide an application form which shall contain such information as in the judgment of the City Engineer is necessary, including information to establish the exact locations, nature, dimensions, duration, and purpose of the proposed travel route of the oversize/overweight vehicle. The application shall be filed with the City Engineer.

(Ord. 13 § 1 (part), 1982; Ord. 16-89 § 8)

A. The application shall be accompanied by maps, sketches or similar exhibits to the size and in the quantity as the City Engineer shall prescribe on which shall be plainly shown any and all information necessary.

B. The application shall be accompanied by the written order or consent to any work thereunder which may be required by law or any other public agency or body. In a case in which the oversize/overweight vehicle enters the city from a state highway or freeway, the applicant shall submit a copy of the approved CALTRANS permit.

(Ord. 13 § 1 (part), 1982; Ord. 16-89 §§ 9, 10)

Applications may be approved, conditionally approved, or denied. The City Engineer shall act on the application within thirty (30) working days. Where the City Engineer finds that the requirements of this chapter have been met and the required fees and charges have been paid, he shall issue a permit for the oversize/overweight vehicle attaching such conditions as he may deem necessary for the health, safety, and welfare of the public and for the protection of the city. If the City Engineer finds the requirements of this chapter have not been met, he shall deny the permit, giving the reasons therefor in writing.

(Ord. 13 § 1 (part), 1982; Ord. 16-89 § 11)

A. Fees for issuance of the permit and charges shall be established by the City Council from time to time by resolution upon recommendation of the City Engineer. Permit fees and charges may be waived in connection with any work being performed by any person or persons, firm or corporation under contract with the city; or when permission to travel on the street with an oversize/overweight vehicle has been expressly granted by the City Council.

B. A public agency which is authorized by law to establish or maintain any works or facilities in, under, or over any public street shall not be subject to a fee for issuance of a permit but shall be required to pay all other charges. A public agency or utility may at the option of the City Engineer arrange to be billed for the required fees and charges.

(Ord. 13 § 1 (part), 1982; Ord. 16-89 § 12)

The permittee shall complete the work or use authorized by a permit issued pursuant to this chapter within ninety (90) days from date of issuance, unless a different period is stated in the permit. If the work or use is not completed within ninety (90) days, or within the time stated in the permit, then the permit shall become void. An extension of time for good cause may be granted by the City Engineer when requested in writing.

(Ord. 13 § 1 (part), 1982; Ord. 16-89 § 18)

The permittee shall keep any permit in the cab of a vehicle when movement thereof on a street is involved, and the permit must be shown to any authorized representative of the City Engineer or law enforcement officer on demand.

(Ord. 13 § 1 (part), 1982; Ord. 16-89 § 19)

No changes may be made in the route, dimension, character, or duration of the use as granted by the permit except upon written authorization of the City Engineer.

(Ord. 13 § 1 (part), 1982; Ord. 16-89 § 20)

No permit issued pursuant to this chapter shall be transferable or assignable to any other person.

(Ord. 13 § 1 (part), 1982; Ord. 16-89 § 21)

Issuance of a building permit, electrical permit, plumbing permit, demolition permit, or any other permit which may be required by law at the same location and in connection with the same activity for which a permit would be issued hereunder shall not constitute authorization to move any oversize/overweight vehicle on any street.

(Ord. 13 § 1 (part), 1982; Ord. 16-89 § 22)
