It shall be unlawful for any person to make or cause to be made any excavation in or under the surface of any public street, alley, sidewalk or other public place in the City of Richmond for the installation, repair or removal of any pipe, conduit, duct or tunnel, or for any other purpose, without first obtaining from the Superintendent of Streets of the City of Richmond a written permit to make such excavation, and the making of a deposit to cover the cost of restoring said public street, alley, sidewalk or other public place to its original condition, all as hereinafter provided.

The Superintendent of Streets shall, before issuing said permit, require: First: A written application therefor to be made and filed with said Superintendent of Streets wherein the applicant shall set forth the name and residence or business address of the person making such application, and shall state in detail the location and area of each excavation intended to be made and shall state the purpose for which the excavation is to be made and used.

Second: The presentation of a plat showing the location of each proposed excavation and the dimensions thereof, and such other details as the Superintendent of Streets may require to be shown upon said plat, provided that the filing of plats shall not be required for the location of rouble in conduits or in pipes or for making repairs thereto.

Third: Where application is made for permits to excavate in the public streets for side sewer connection, payment shall be made to the City of Richmond in accordance with fee schedules established by resolution of the City Council.

When the applicant for such permit complies with these provisions and the regulations of the Council of the City of Richmond, the application and plat shall be approved by the superintendent of streets, and a permit issued by him.

All excavations for service connections made in public streets under the provisions of these regulations shall be made by open ditch and no tunneling shall be done, except under car tracks, curbs or sidewalks. All such excavations shall be made not more than two feet in width at the top and may slope in so as to be not more than twelve inches wider than the outside of the pipe to be laid in such excavations.

Where application is made for a permit to excavate in any public street for the purpose of repairs only, the holder of such permit shall immediately, upon the completion of the making of such excavation, pay the city of Richmond for such excavation in accordance with fee schedules established by resolution of the city council.

The holder of any permit for side sewer connections as herein provided shall proceed without unnecessary delay after the issuing of such permit to complete the work for which such permit was issued, and upon completion thereof shall notify the sewer and street inspector of the city of Richmond thereof. Immediately after the sewer and street inspector has passed and approved the work for which such permit was issued, the holder of such permit shall, under the supervision and direction of the sewer and street inspector, back-fill such excavation at his own cost and expense and in the following manner: Fine dirt shall be carefully deposited and compacted by hand tampers in layers not exceeding eight inches to a level of one foot above the top of the pipe. The trench shall then be back-filled in layers not to exceed five feet to within a distance of one foot from the surface of the roadway and compacted by jetting water into the fill material to the satisfaction of the sewer and street inspector. If hand or machine tampers are to be used, the trench shall be back-filled and compacted in six inch layers to within one foot of the surface of the roadway.

The top one foot of back-fill shall be hand or machine tamped and the paving material excavated from the street shall be placed on top of fill and compacted as thoroughly as possible so that the roadway may be left in a safe and passable condition for vehicles.

Every public service corporation desiring to make any excavation in any public street in the city of Richmond shall comply with all the foregoing provisions as to the obtaining of a permit therefor except that payment of the sums hereinbefore mentioned by a public service corporation may be waived upon a determination by the director of public works that such corporation has demonstrated satisfactory compliance with this chapter. Such public service corporation upon the completion of the laying of pipe in any excavation made by it in any public street of the city of Richmond shall immediately thereafter proceed to refill such excavation and to restore such street to its original condition without unnecessary delay. Provided, further, that upon the completion of the work of refilling any such excavation the space left for the wearing-surface shall, between the time of finishing of such refilling and the repaving of the street, be filled with either slabs of surfacing removed by it in making such excavation, or by boards or other smooth material which will afford a temporary safe and passable crossing for vehicles.

(Amended by Ordinance No. 17-71 N.S.)

Any public service corporation desiring that any resurfacing over any excavation made by it shall be done by the city of Richmond shall pay to the superintendent of streets the cost of such work plus twenty-five percent; provided, that if any work of restoring any street to its original condition by any public service corporation after the making of any excavation therein shall not be properly done, or shall thereafter sink or rise above the level of the adjoining portion of such street, such corporation shall upon notice from the superintendent of streets immediately proceed to repair such street to the satisfaction of the superintendent of streets and in the event that such corporation shall fail or neglect, within ten days after receipts of such notice, to so repair or restore such street then the superintendent of streets may perform such work and such corporation shall thereupon be liable and shall pay to the city of Richmond the cost thereof plus twenty-five percent, which amount may be deducted from the deposit of two hundred fifty dollars, or if such deposit shall be insufficient to pay the cost thereof, then such corporation shall be liable to the city of Richmond for the balance of the cost of such work; and provided, further, that it shall be the duty of any such public service corporation to keep the deposit up to the full sum of two hundred dollars at all times.

No person in arrears to the city of Richmond by reason of any obligation or liability arising under these provisions shall be granted any further permits to make excavations in any street of the city of Richmond until such arrearage shall have been fully paid.

It shall be the duty of every person making any excavation in a public street, alley or other public place to maintain safe crossings for vehicle and pedestrian traffic at all street intersections. Free access must be provided to all fire hydrants and all materials excavated shall be laid compactly along the side of the trench and kept trimmed so as to cause as little inconvenience as possible to public travel.

If the street is not wide enough to hold the excavated materials without using part of the adjacent sidewalk, the person by whom the excavation is made shall erect a tight board fence upon and along such sidewalk and keep a passageway at least four feet in width upon and along such sidewalk. All gutters shall be maintained free and unobstructed for the full depth of the adjacent curb and for at least one foot in width from the face of such curb at the gutter line.

When the applicant has completed the work of installing any pipe, conduit, duct or tunnel for which a permit has been granted, the Superintendent of Streets shall be immediately notified thereof and the said Superintendent of Streets shall thereupon proceed to restore such street, alley, sidewalk or other public place to its former condition except in the case of a public service corporation electing to do such work as aforesaid.

No permit shall be issued unless the applicant has legal authority to occupy and use, for the purposes mentioned in the application, the streets, alleys, sidewalks or other public places covered by such application. No permit shall be transferrable. Such permit shall become void unless the excavation to be made in pursuance thereof is commenced within ten days from the date of the issuance of such permit.

After such excavation is commenced, the work of making the same and installing the pipe, conduit, duct or tunnel for which such permit has been granted, including the restoring of the street, shall be prosecuted with due diligence so as not to obstruct the street or other public place of travel more than in actually necessary.

Wherever practicable, any person making any excavation for which a permit has been obtained shall remove the wearing-surface of any improved street in slabs of at least four feet in length.

None of these provisions shall apply to any work done or to be done in or along any public street, alley or public place pursuant to any law of the State of California for the improvement thereof, or to any work done or to be done along, in or upon any such street, alley or other public place pursuant to any contract for improvement authorized by the Council of the City of Richmond; nor shall these provisions apply to excavations made by any department, board or officer of the City of Richmond in the discharge of its or his official duties.

It is hereby provided that in cases of emergency where it shall become necessary at any time other than the business hours of any day for a public service corporation to make an immediate repair to any pipe or conduit maintained by it in any public street in the City of Richmond such work may be done without first obtaining the permit herein required; provided that the application for such permit shall be made for the performance of such work upon the next business day.

It is hereby further provided that these provisions shall not apply to excavations made in parkways between the curb and sidewalk, provided that the refill of such excavations shall be done to the satisfaction of the Superintendent of Streets of the City of Richmond.

(d) The words CORNER LOT shall mean a lot situated at the junction of two streets.

(e) The words LINE OF THE STREET shall mean the dividing line between a street and the property abutting thereon.

(f) The word STRUCTURE shall mean any work or construction or other object or thing any part of which extends more than five feet in height above the sidewalk level.

(g) The plural shall include the singular, and the masculine shall include the feminine.

The Council of the City of Richmond may establish or re-establish building lines on private property within the City along and parallel with the whole or any portion of any street, between which lines and the line of the street no structure as herein defined shall be located. Said lines shall be known as "set-back lines," shall be measured from the line of the street, and shall be established in accordance with the procedure set forth herein. Any set-back line so established may be changed thereafter by following the same procedure. One or more set-back lines may be established along one or more streets or portions thereof in one and the same proceeding.

Whenever in the opinion of the Council, public health, safety and general welfare require that structures thereafter to be erected shall be set back a certain distance from the line of a street in order to reduce danger from conflagration or of vehicular accidents at private driveways or street intersections, or insure more equitable rights in light, air or vision to adjacent structures then erected or thereafter to be erected, the Council shall pass a resolution of intention declaring its intention to establish the set-back line at which such structures shall set back from the line of the street. Said resolution of intention shall refer to the street by the name under which it is commonly known and describe the distance of the proposed set-back line from the line of the street, and shall fix a time and place when and where any owners of property fronting on the portions of the street affected, objecting to the proposed set-back line or claiming that their property would be damaged by its establishment, may appear before the Council and have their objections or claims heard and determined.

Said resolution of intention under a heading "NOTICE OF INTENTION TO ESTABLISH SET-BACK LINE" shall be published once in a newspaper of general circulation in the City at least ten days before the date of said hearing; and said resolution of intention, under a like heading in letters not less than one inch in height, shall be posted conspicuously in front of each block or portion of block along which such set-back line is proposed to be established, at least ten days before the date of said hearing. The City Clerk shall cause said notice to be published and the Superintendent of Streets shall cause said notice to be posted as herein provided.

After the passage of said resolution of intention and until the proceeding is finally disposed of no building permit shall be issued for the location of any structure as herein defined in the space between the proposed set-back line and the line of the street, and any permit so issued shall be void.

At any time before said hearing any interested property owner objecting to the establishment of the proposed set-back line may file with the City Clerk his written objections thereto, setting forth therein the grounds and nature of.his objections. Any person claiming his property would be damaged by the establishment of the proposed set-back line shall file a verified claim thereof with the City Clerk at any time before said hearing, setting forth therein the amount and nature of the damage claimed. No other objections or claims shall be considered. At the time of said hearing, or any time to which it may be continued, the Council shall hear the objectors and their witnesses, and pass upon the objections, also all claims for damages. In considering claims for damages and estimating the amount thereof the Council may take into consideration, among other things, the opinions of owners of property near or adjacent to the property of claimants on the question as to the amount of damage. If after hearing the testimony and considering such other competent evidence as may be presented the Council is of the opinion that any of the claimants would suffer damages to their property in excess of benefits their property would receive, the Council may abandon the proceedings as provided in Section 12.28.310, or determine in what amount such damages will exceed the benefits and make provision for payment thereof; provided, the Council may find and determine that the damages are wholly offset by the benefits in which case no damages shall be payable.

Failure to file any objections or make any claim for damages in the times form and manner herein prescribed shall be deemed a waiver thereof.

The establishment of set-back lines shall be deemed a benefit to the whole City in all cases, therefore, in the event that any damages are found and awarded the same shall be paid out of the treasury of the City.

At the conclusion of the hearing the Council may pass a resolution establishing the set-back line or lines referred to in the resolution of intention; provided the Council may sustain any objection and abandon the proceedings; or the Council may establish setback lines at less distance from the line of the street than was proposed in the resolution of intention without new proceedings; provided, further, the Council may establish set-back lines along a portion of the street to the exclusion of other portions thereof. In establishing set-back lines the Council shall take into consideration in all cases such matters as the width of the street, height of existing structures and the fire-resisting qualities of the materials of which they are constructed.

It shall be unlawful for any person to locate any structure as herein defined in the space between any set-back line so established and the line of the street; and the building inspector shall refuse to issue a permit for the location of any such structure in said space.

The establishment of a set-back line shall never be deemed to divest any owner of property of any of his right, title, interest, use or right of possession thereof except to the extent herein provided, and the City shall not have any right hereunder to exercise any jurisdiction, dominion or control over the private property lying between said set-back line and the line of the street, except such as is vested in the City government under its police powers and to the extent herein provided, for the protection of public health, safety and general welfare.

The City Clerk is hereby directed to mark in red ink on the official zone map of said City each set-back line established under these provisions and show thereon the distance between said setback line and the line of the street.
