The City Engineer shall deny a permit if any violation of this Code, or any other application, local, State, or Federal laws, rules, and regulations is found to exist, or whenever, in his or her judgment, the proposed work will directly or indirectly create a hazard to human life or endanger public or private property. If, in the opinion of the City Engineer, the danger or hazard can be eliminated by the erection or installation of protective devices or by performing the work in a particular manner approved by the City Engineer, the City Engineer may grant a permit upon conditions that the protective and precautionary work or manner of performing the work, as approved, shall be used.
