15.32.160 - Street restoration requirements A. Anyone issued a permit for construction or other activity under this Chapter 15.32 shall restore the street, alley, stormwater conveyance system, green stormwater infrastructure, or other public place according to the Right-of-Way Opening and Restoration Rules or successor rules. B. If the permittee fails to complete the restoration according to the Right-of-Way Opening and Restoration Rules or successor rules, the Director of Transportation, or as to park drives and boulevards, the Superintendent of Parks and Recreation, may restore the street, alley, or other public place and bill the permittee for the repair as provided in Section 15.26.020. The permittee may, at the time the permit is issued, if the Director of Transportation agrees, contract with the Director of Transportation for completing the permanent restoration. C. In those cases where the Director of Transportation, or as to park drives and boulevards, the Superintendent of Parks and Recreation, has determined that the permittee has not restored the street, alley, stormwater conveyance system, green stormwater infrastructure, or other public place according to the Right-of-Way Opening and Restoration Rules or successor rules, the permittee shall pay to the Director of Transportation, or as to park drives and boulevards, the Superintendent of Parks and Recreation, a standard charge from a schedule adopted by ordinance reflecting the Director of Transportation's estimate of the loss in useful life of the street, alley, stormwater conveyance system, green stormwater infrastructure, or other public place as a result of the construction or other activity. All funds collected from this charge shall be deposited in the Transportation Fund, or as to park drives and boulevards, the Parks and Recreation Fund, and used only for pavement, stormwater conveyance, or green stormwater infrastructure replacement, repair, and maintenance, and for no other purpose. (Ord. 125149, § 2, 2016; Ord. 124951, § 11, 2015; Ord. 118751, § 3, 1997.)
