Setbacks are included to avoid encroachment into sensitive areas or adjacent properties.

The review and issuance of these permits allows City staff to assess the need for the street cut, ensure that the contractor can perform the work in a manner consistent with City standards, impose traffic control standards if necessary, specify backfilling requirements, and outline City specifications for the patching process.
