Any person, firm or corporation desiring to place, erect or maintain any such encroachment as hereinabove defined shall make application for a permit to the office of the building department of the city. Such application shall contain the name and address of the applicant, a description of the proposed encroachment and the proposed location thereof, the period of time for which such encroachment is proposed to be maintained, and such other information as may be required by the chief building inspector. Such application shall further contain an agreement on the part of the applicant that if the application is granted, applicant will indemnify and save and hold harmless the city, its agents, officers and employees against and from any and all damages, judgments, claims, demands, expenses, costs and expenditures, and against all loss or liability which the city or such officers, agents or employees may suffer, or which may be recovered from or obtainable against the city, or such officers, agents or employees, proximately caused by, growing out of, or in any way connected with, the placing, erection or maintenance of such encroachment, and upon the expiration of the permit or the revocation thereof, applicant will, at his, her, or its own cost and expense, remove the same from the public property or right-of-way where the same is located and restore the public property or right-of-way to the condition as nearly as possible to that condition it was before the placing, erection, maintenance or existence of the encroachment. Upon the receipt of such application, the building department shall make an investigation to determine if the maintenance of the encroachment will substantially interfere with the use of the public property, right-of-way or other public place where the same is proposed to be placed, erected or maintained, and whether the placing, erection or maintenance of the encroachment will constitute a hazard to persons using the public property, right-of-way or other public place. Upon the completion of such investigation, a report and findings shall be made, and the chief building inspector, in his discretion, shall then either grant or deny the applicant the permit to place, erect and/or maintain the encroachment. The permit, if granted, may be granted for a definite time or for an indefinite time, and the chief building inspector may impose such conditions to the granting of the same as in his discretion will best serve the public interest. In any event, a permit granted pursuant to this section is revocable at any time by the city council. Upon the revocation of any such permit, the city clerk shall give notice in the form and manner specified in Section 12.12.050 for such permit or to the person maintaining the encroachment to remove the encroachment. (Ord. 412 §1, 1996; Ord. 60 §2(b), 1954).
