(3) The specific location of each newsrack, listed individually and numerically, including any identifying information for the location, such as a corresponding street address and specific corner of an intersection, where applicable. (4) Information that allows the director to easily determine whether each newsrack location contained in the list is: a. A new location (relative to the most recent master list submitted); b.

The applicant may amend the application and reapply for the same location, or apply for a substitute alternative location, subject to a reprocessing fee for the first reapplication in an amount determined by a resolution of the city council. Any subsequent reapplications shall be subject to the standard application fee. A denial may be appealed pursuant to section 464.70. (e) Additional certificate of compliance.
