Title
A substitute ordinance relating to fees for occupying the public way for private construction projects.

Sections
81-102-2 rc

Analysis
This ordinance reduces the permit fees required for the temporary occupancy of the public way for purposes related to construction work on adjacent property.

b. Any fee required by this section in connection with a development on property adjacent to the public way may be reduced by 50% if this reduction is approved by resolution of the common council. This resolution shall include the finding of the commissioner of public works that all of the following criteria have been met:
