16-204 : Deposit or bond.
- No such permit shall be issued unless and until the applicant therefor has deposited with the recorder a cash deposit to be determined by current cost estimate, but in no event less that the sum of twenty-five dollars ($25.00). If no pavement is involved, and an amount to be determined by current cost estimate, but in no event less than one hundred dollars ($100.00) if the excavation is in a paved area, to ensure the proper restoration of the ground and laying of the pavement, if any, except that where the amount of the deposit is clearly inadequate to cover the cost of restoration the recorder may increase the amount of the deposit to an amount considered by him to be adequate to cover said cost. From this deposit shall be deducted the expense of the municipality of relaying the surface of the ground or pavement, and of making the refill if this is done by the municipality or at its expense. The balance shall be returned to the applicant without interest after the tunnel or excavation is completely refilled and the surface or pavement is restored.
- In lieu of a deposit the applicant may deposit with the recorder a surety bond in such form and amount as the recorder shall deem adequate to cover the costs to the municipality if the applicant fails to make proper restoration. (1964 Code, § 12-104, modified)
