A. A separate permit application must be filed for each minor encroachment in the office of the Assistant City Manager for Public Works. Such application shall be accompanied by a sketch or plan showing the dimensions and exact location of the proposed encroachment and its relationship to any structure, and the sidewalk area. A plan and elevations shall be required in all cases in addition to a brief written description of the encroachment. After filing of the application, the Assistant City Manager for Public Works shall cause an investigation made of the site where the proposed encroachment would be installed.

B. When such application for a minor encroachment permit and the details shown upon the accompanying sketch or plan comply with the terms of this chapter and any further requirements set by the Assistant City Manager for Public Works for public health, safety and appearance, the Assistant City Manager for Public Works shall poll the abutting neighbors and post a notice of intent to encroach on a nearby utility pole. The Assistant City Manager for Public Works shall consider any and all responses to the poll in making their decision to deny, conditionally approve or approve the encroachment. Such approval constitutes the granting of a conditional revocable permit for minor encroachment and such permit shall remain in effect as long as the permittee complies with all conditions established for the granting of such permit.

C. Any person aggrieved by the refusal of a minor encroachment permit required by this chapter may appeal to the City Council. All appeals must be filed with the City Clerk within thirty days of the mailing of the decision of the Assistant City Manager for Public Works for scheduling on the City Council’s calendar.
