Whenever the owner or owners of any property abutting on a sidewalk causes or desires to cause to be maintained, repaired, or renewed the sidewalk abutting that property, and in so doing there is a necessity to either cut, excavate, take up, break, tunnel, undermine, or disturb the existing sidewalk, or to do any combination of these acts to the existing sidewalk, then and in that event the permit fees, except the fee designated to defray inspection costs, required by Pullman City Code Section 11.20.040 and permit deposits required by Pullman City Code Section 11.20.045 shall be waived by the Director of Public Works, if the Director of Public Works is satisfied that the maintaining, repairing, or renewing performed or desired to be performed on the existing sidewalk will not cut, excavate, take up, break, tunnel, undermine, or disturb any street, alley, highway, or other public place in the City of Pullman. (Ord. 81-23 §1, 1981).
