Sec. 74-28. - Application for permit. Any person desiring to so use public property shall apply for a permit or renewal of a permit a minimum of two working days before starting work and must submit detailed plans for street or sidewalk use and pedestrian safety on major projects. This provision or portions thereof may be waived by the city administrator in the event of an emergency. (Prior Code, § 270-100) Sec. 74-29. - Guarding of obstructions, fences. Any permittee obstructing any street, alley, sidewalk or other public property shall keep such obstructions properly guarded at all times. From sunset to sunrise, all obstructions must be guarded by a sufficient number of warning lights placed in such manner that they will give proper warning of said obstruction. The city administrator may require any permittee obstructing a sidewalk to build adjacent to such obstruction a tight -board fence at least six feet high, except at street intersections where a six-foot open -board fence shall be built and maintained, and adjacent to each such fence shall be built and maintained a temporary walk at least four feet in width for the use of the public with a railing along the outside edge of the walk at least 36 inches high.
