No disruption of the right-of-way is allowed for the first five years after a roadway has been improved to current standards by pavement overlay or construction of a new roadway. The director shall determine when special circumstances warrant disruption within the first five years of roadway construction or new pavement overlay.

When an underground utility installation disrupts the right-of-way after the first five years following improvement of a street to city standards, a disruption fee in addition to the permit fee shall apply. This disruption fee shall be five times the regular permit fee in the first year, four times during the second year, three times during the third year, two times during the fourth year, and equal to the permit fee during the fifth year. The director shall notify and coordinate city-franchised companies, other utility companies and such other special districts and municipal corporations as may be subject to the disruption fee as soon as practical following the final decision of the city to so improve a street. (Ord. 2726 § 6, 2008; Ord. 462, 1969)
