Obstruction / Excavation / Hauling / Temporary Driveway Permit Notes

• WHO CAN FILL OUT THE APPLICATION?
  • Obstruction, Excavation, Hauling Permits*:  An authorized agent for the contractor performing the work may submit the application on the contractor's behalf, however, the certificate of insurance, if required, must provide coverage for the contractor performing the work. *Authorized agents or property owners not actually doing the hauling but filling out/signing the application on behalf of the hauler will be required to post a bond per the conditions outlined on the permit.
  • Driveway Permits : may be applied for by the property owner.
• HOW DO I FILL OUT AND SUMBIT THE APPLICATION?
  
  • Obstruction, Excavation, Hauling & Temporary Driveway Permits:  Adobe will walk you through filling out the application.  After you fill it out and submit it, you will be asked to provide an email address and confirm submittal of your application via an email sent from Adobe.  Depending on your email server, there could be a moderate delay in receiving this email.  Please use the same email address that you wish to use for future communications regarding your application.
    
• CAN I PAY FOR MY APPLICATION AND PARKING FEES TOGETHER?  No.
  • Payment for parking, if applicable, must be made separately and directly to the Parking Division.  Combined payments will not be accepted.
• DO I HAVE TO PROVIDE A SKETCH OR DIAGRAM?
  • If your application indicates that a sketch or diagram is required, then your application will not be processed without one.
• WHAT HAPPENS AFTER I SUBMIT MY APPLICATION?
  • After we receive your application and supporting documents at the email address provided or with the original submittal, we will send an electronic signature request to all parties to review the permit. You/the applicant will also receive a signature request, which you will need to complete.  Be sure to select the blue "Submit" or "Finalize" button after you sign.
    
• HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO APPROVE?
  • Length of time for approval depends on a number of factors.  If there are other departments involved in the review/approval process, this will likely extend the length of time needed to approve a permit. The Department of Public Works may start the process of routing a permit for review prior to receiving a certificate of insurance or bond (if applicable), however, a permit will not be issued until all requirements are satisfied. It is the applicant's responsibility to ensure all required items have been submitted.  The Department of Public Works is not responsible for following up with the applicant on missing items which are holding up a permit being issued or for following up with any departments who have not yet signed off on your permits.  If all required items have been submitted by the applicant up-front, we estimate (we do not guarantee) the following turnaround times under normal circumstances:
    • Obstruction, Excavation Permits: 4-5 working days (Monday-Friday, excluding holidays)
    • Driveway Permits: 1-2 weeks (for the Public Works portion only-please note that these must be approved by the Planning & Zoning department as well, which we cannot estimate on their behalf).
    • Temporary Driveway Permits: 1-2 weeks
    • Hauling Permits: 1-2 working days (Monday-Friday, excluding holidays. REMINDER: approval is for the route only and permission must be granted on a daily basis per permit conditions).
    • Private Construction on Class 6 Road Permit: (see Ordinance #4)
