§ 16-45. Same—Fees.

(a)

The fee for a permit hereunder shall be as follows:

(1)

Paved streets: Three dollars and fifty cents ($3.50) per square foot of paving cut for a standard trench, with a minimum charge of seventy-five dollars ($75.00) per trench.

(2)

Dirt or gravel streets: One dollar ($1.00) per square foot of street cut, measured from the outside edge of the shoulder for a standard trench, with a minimum charge of fifty dollars ($50.00) per trench.

(b)

If the excavation involves both paving and a dirt or gravel shoulder, the total cost of the permit will be figured by adding the cost of cutting the pavement and the cost of cutting the dirt or gravel shoulder.

(c)

The payment of such surfacing cost, computed as set out above, shall be made to the City of Athens, Texas, simultaneously with the filling of the application for cutting street and prior to cutting said street upon repairs being done by City of Athens.

(d)

The charges set out herein shall not be collected by the city if the proposed excavation is to be made in a street which is neither in use by the public nor cut to grade for such use; likewise, such charges shall not be collected if the proposed excavation is to be made in a street located in a subdivision then in process of development if all street improvements are being made by the developer at his expense and paid excavation is made before such streets are accepted by the city.
