§ 12.24.260. Depth of facility or equipment in street.

A.

It is unlawful for any person to construct, erect, install or lay or cause or permit to be constructed, erected, installed or laid any facility or equipment below the surface of the roadway, or to dig or make any tunnel or bore or other structure except manholes, vaults, valve boxes, culverts and catch basins, in any roadway a distance of less than 30 inches below the actual surface of the roadway measured from said surface to the nearest point to such property, tunnel or bore, as the case may be.

B.

Where, however, such depths are impracticable due to extraordinary circumstances, the applicant of any permit shall secure the approval of the engineer in person as to the suitable depth or location of said property, tunnel or bore, and the same shall be placed in conformity with such approved location or depth, and in a manner satisfactory to the engineer.
