12.04.010 Citation
This chapter shall be known as the "public way permit ordinance" of the city. (Ord. 1-82-59 § 1 (part), 1982; Ord. O-75-71 § 1, 1975).
12.04.020 Definitions
For the purposes of this chapter, the following words shall have the following meanings:
"City" means the City of Lakewood, Colorado.
"Director" means the Director of Public Works of the city or his/her authorized representative.
"District" means any metropolitan, water, and/or sanitation district formed under Title 32, Article I, CRS, as amended.
"Permittee" means the holder of a valid permit.
"Person" means any person, firm, partnership, special, metropolitan or general district association; corporation; municipal department, company or organization of any kind.
"Public way" means any public street, way, place, alley, sidewalk, easement, park, square, plaza, and any city-owned right-of-way or any other public property owned or controlled by the city and dedicated to public use. Any easements dedicated solely for utility purposes shall not be governed by the provisions of this chapter.
"Specifications" means Engineering Regulations, Construction Specifications and Design Standards adopted by the city.
"Work in the public way" means, but is not limited to, construction of streets and all related appurtenances, sidewalks, driveway openings, bus shelters, bus loading pads, street lights, and traffic signal devices. It shall also mean construction, maintenance and repair of all underground structures such as pipes, conduits, ducts, tunnels, manholes, vaults, buried cable, wire, or any other similar structure located below the surface of any public way, and installation of overhead poles used for any purpose. (Ord. O-94-17 §§ 1, 2, 1994; Ord. O-91-59 § 19, 1991; Ord. O-82-59 § 1 (part), 1982; Ord. O-71-24 § 3, 1971).
12.04.030 Types of permits to work in the public way
There shall be three types of permits to work in the public way:
A. Public Improvement Agreement Permits: permits issued as part of the public improvement agreement procedure under Chapter 14.13 of this code. Chapter 14.13 provides that any person obtaining a building permit may be required to sign a public improvement agreement, provides for inspection of those public improvements, and provides for collateral to insure the public improvements are built and are warranted for one year of satisfactory performance;
B. Annual permits: permits granted to persons to cover all work done in the public way for a period of one year;
C. Individual permits: permits granted to persons for one specific project in the public way. (Ord. O-94-17 § 3, 1994; Ord. O-82-59 § 1 (part), 1982; Ord. O-71-24 § 4, 1971).
12.04.040 Application for permit
A. It is unlawful for any person to perform work within the public way of the city without obtaining a permit from the city. Any person doing work within the public way of a state highway must obtain a permit from the state and the city. If the state inspects the work in state right-of-way, there will be no charge for the Lakewood permit. If the city inspects the work in state right-of-way, all conditions and fees pertaining to a city permit shall apply.
B. In Lakewood, the physical construction of public improvements in new developments is the responsibility of the developer of the land. Ownership of those improvements remains with the developer of the land until acceptance by the city. Any person performing work on those improvements which are within a public way, but prior to acceptance by the city, shall obtain a permit from the city and permission from the owner of the improvements in the public way. The permittee shall be financially responsible to the owner of the improvements to carry out all remedial work necessary to receive acceptance by the city of those improvements. This financial obligation shall apply only to the work in the public way done by the permittee.
1. Public Improvement Agreement Permit. An applicant doing work in the public way which requires a public improvement agreement as required by Chapter 14.13 of this code shall have an approved set of plans and specifications prior to permit application. No work shall be started until the Director has approved the plans, specifications, and permit application, and issued a permit.
2. Annual Permits and Individual Permits. A separate written application for that work done under an annual or individual permit shall be submitted to the Director on a form provided by the city for each individual job. The application shall be submitted at least two days prior to the planned start of work in the public way. Permittees may be required to increase this time up to fourteen days when the work consists of more than a single spot excavation. The city may require submission of plans and specifications. No work shall be started until the Director has approved the plans and specifications and permit application, and issued a permit, except as specified in Section 12.04.180. (Ord. O-94-17 § 4, 1994; Ord. O-82-59 § 1 (part), 1981; Ord. O-71-24 § 5, 1971).
12.04.045 Insurance
Before a public way permit is issued, the applicant shall submit to the Director a certificate of insurance in an amount set by City Council resolution. The certificate of insurance shall list the City and its officers and employees as additional named insureds.
City departments, mutual water companies, persons holding a franchise in the City, any governmental agency, or any special metropolitan water and/or sanitation district shall be relieved of the obligation of submitting a certificate of insurance if the permit is signed in the name of that person and they carry insurance equal to an amount set by City Council resolution. Upon request, the agency shall submit a letter certifying such coverage or self-insurance. If a person other than those named above signs the permit, a certificate of insurance shall be provided. (Ord. O-97-28 § 1, 1997; Ord. O-94-17 § 5, 1994; Ord. O-82-59 § 1 (part), 1982; Ord. O-75-71 § 4, 1975).
12.04.060 Performance/warranty guarantee for permits
A. Public Improvement Agreement. Procedures for guaranteeing performance and providing for warranty are specified in Chapter 14.13 and no additional performance/warranty guarantee will be required in addition to those requirements.
B. Annual Permit. Any entity doing work under an annual permit shall provide the City with ten thousand dollars cash or an irrevocable letter of credit. The irrevocable letter of credit shall run for a period of time at least one year beyond the anticipated acceptance date of any work done under the annual permit. If no refund request is received, the deposit shall be carried forward for use as the annual deposit for the following year. If a demand is made by the City on all or a portion of a ten thousand dollar performance/ warranty guarantee, no further permits shall be issued to that entity until the performance/warranty guarantee is re-established in the amount of ten thousand dollars plus the amount of the demand made by the City.
C. Individual Permit. Each permittee before being issued a permit shall provide the city, at the permittee's expense, a performance/warranty guarantee. This guarantee shall be in the form of cash or an irrevocable letter of credit.
The guarantee shall be in an amount equal to one hundred percent of the City Engineer's estimate of the cost of restoration. The cost of restoration shall include the removal of defective material, recompaction of subgrade and base material and construction of surface improvements. The irrevocable letter of credit shall run for a period of time at least one year beyond the anticipated acceptance date of the work identified in the permit and may be returned as provided in Section 12.04.080(B)(2). Such guarantees shall be extended if requested by the City Engineer.
The City Engineer may waive performance/warranty guarantee requirements for any owner of a single-family residence desiring to repair their driveway or sidewalk provided the owner performs the work personally and upon satisfactory evidence to the City Engineer that the applicant is competent to perform the work.
D. Other Guarantees. In lieu of subsections (B) and (C) above, any City department, mutual water companies, persons holding a franchise in the City, any governmental agency, or any special metropolitan, water and/or sanitation district may provide the City with an annual letter signed by an appropriate company or district officer guaranteeing: (1) complete performance of the work acceptable to the City, and (2) the correction of any defect in the work which the City discovers and for which the City gives written notice to the permittee within one year after the date when the City initially accepts the work.
If the Director determines that any permittee fails to promptly perform under the conditions of this subsection (D) of this section, that permittee shall be required to post a performance/warranty guarantee meeting the requirements of subsections (B) or (C) of this section. If the Director determines that the permittee then satisfactorily complies with this chapter for a one-year period while operating under the provisions of subsections (B) or (C) of this section, the permittee shall then again be eligible to operate with the annual guarantee letter provided in subsection (D) of this section.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this section, any contractor performing work pursuant to a contract directly with the City shall adhere to the performance payment requirements set forth in the contract documents. (Ord. O-97-28 §§ 2, 3, 1997; Ord. O-94-17 § 6, 1994; Ord. O-82-59 § 1 (part), 1982; Ord. O-71-24 § 7, 1971).
12.04.070 Purpose of performance/warranty guarantee
A. Any guarantee made hereunder shall serve as security for the performance of work necessary to repair the public way if the permittee fails to make the necessary repairs or to complete the work under the permit.
B. The permittee, by acceptance of the permit, expressly guarantees complete performance of the work acceptable to the city and guarantees all work done by him for a period of one year after the date of acceptance, and agrees upon demand to maintain and to make all necessary repairs during the one-year period. This guarantee shall include all repairs and actions needed as a result of:
1. Defects in workmanship;
2. Settling of fills or excavations;
3. Any unauthorized deviations from the approved plans and specifications;
4. Failure to barricade;
5. Failure to clean up during and after performance of the work;
6. Any other violation of this chapter.
C. The one-year guarantee period shall run from acceptance of the work. If repairs are required during the one-year period, those repairs need only be guaranteed until the end of the original one-year guarantee period starting with the date of initial acceptance. It is not necessary that a guarantee be provided for subsequent repairs beyond the initial one-year guarantee period. (Ord. O-94-17 § 7, 1994; Ord. O-82-59 § 1 (part), 1982; Ord. O-71-24 § 8, 1971).
12.04.080 Inspection fees and procedures
A. At the time of permit application, all permittees shall pay for the costs of inspection. Costs of inspection shall be in accordance with the schedule of charges prepared by the Director and adopted by City Council resolution.
B. Inspections will occur as follows:
1. Public Improvement Agreement. Procedures for inspecting public improvements agreements shall be as specified in Chapter 14.13.
2. Annual and Individual Permits. Two inspections shall take place. First, the permittee shall notify the city immediately after completion of work operations and acceptance will be made if all work meets city and permit standards. Second, approximately thirty days prior to the expiration of the one-year guarantee, the city shall perform an inspection of the completed work. If the work is still satisfactory, the cash or letter of credit for individual permit holders shall be returned less any amounts needed to complete work not done by permittee.
For annual permits, the annual deposit shall be carried forward for use as the annual deposit for the following year if no refund request is received.
At any time prior to completion of the one-year warranty period, the city may notify the permittee of any needed repairs. Such repairs shall be completed within twenty-four hours if the defects are determined by the city to be an imminent danger to the public health, safety, and welfare. Nonemergency repairs shall be completed within thirty days after notice.
3. Random Inspections. Random inspections may be made of the permittee's work procedures, and the permittee shall correct his procedures if ordered to do so. Failure to do so may result in revocation of the permit. (Ord. O-94-17 § 8, 1994; Ord. O-82-59 § 1 (part), 1982; Ord. O-75-71 § 2, 1975).
12.04.090 Time of completion
A. Public Improvement Agreement. Time of completion will be specified in the public improvement agreement signed under the provisions of Chapter 14.13 of this code.
B. Annual Permits and Individual Permits. All work covered by the permit shall be completed by the date stated on the application. Permits shall be void if work has not commenced six months after issuance. Letters of credit or cash deposited as a performance/warranty guarantee for individual permits will be returned after voiding of the permit. (Ord. O-82-59 § 1 (part), 1982; Ord. O-75-71 § 3, 1975).
12.04.110 Traffic control
When it is necessary to obstruct traffic, a detour plan shall be submitted to the Director prior to starting construction. No permit will be issued until the plan is approved by the Director. No permittee shall interrupt access to and from private property, block emergency vehicles, block access to fire hydrants, fire stations, fire escapes, water valves, underground vaults, valve housing structures, or any other vital equipment unless permission is obtained from the owner of that facility. If a street closing is desired, the applicant will request the assistance and obtain the approval of the Director. It shall be the responsibility of the permittee to notify and coordinate all work in the public way with police, fire, ambulance, and transit organizations.
When necessary for public safety, the permittee shall employ flag persons whose duties shall be to control traffic around or through the construction site. The use of flag persons may be required by the Director.
Unless approved by the Director, the permittee shall not impede rush hour traffic on arterial or collector streets during the morning or evening rush hours. No construction shall be performed nor shall any traffic lane be closed to traffic during the hours of seven a.m. to nine a.m. or three-thirty p.m. to six p.m. without the approval of the Director.
Traffic control devices, as defined in Part VI of the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices, must be used whenever it is necessary to close a traffic lane or sidewalk. Traffic control devices are to be supplied by the permittee. If used at night, they must be reflectorized and must be illuminated or have barricade warning lights. Oil flares or kerosene lanterns are not allowed as a means of illumination.
Part VI of the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices shall be used as a guide for all maintenance and construction signing. The permittee shall illustrate on the permit the warning and control devices proposed for use. At the direction of the Director, such warning and control devices shall be increased, decreased, or modified. (Ord. O-94-17 § 9, 1994; Ord. O-82-59 § 1 (part), 1982; Ord. O-75-71 § 5, 1975).
12.04.120 Construction standards and responsibility for all public improvements
The permittee shall be fully responsible for the cost and actual performance of all work in the public way. The permittee shall do all work in conformance with the Engineering Regulations, Construction Specifications, and Design Standards adopted by the city. These standards shall apply to all work in the public way. (Ord. O-82-59 § 1 (part), 1982; Ord. O-71-24 § 13, 1971).
12.04.130 Protection of paved surfaces from equipment damage
Backhoe equipment outriggers shall be fitted with rubber pads whenever outriggers are placed on any paved surface. Tracked vehicles with grousers are not permitted on paved surface unless specific precautions are taken to protect the surface. The permittee will be responsible for any damage caused to the pavement by the operation of such equipment and, upon order of the Director, shall repair such surfaces. Failure to do so will result in the use of the applicant's performance/warranty guarantee by the city to repair any damage. (Ord. O-94-17 § 10, 1994; Ord. O-82-59 § 1 (part), 1982; Ord. O-75-71 § 6, 1975).
12.04.140 Protection of property
The permittee shall protect from injury any adjoining property by providing adequate support and taking other necessary measures. The permittee shall, at his own expense, shore up and protect all buildings, walls, fences or other property likely to be damaged during the work, and shall be responsible for all damage to public or private property resulting from failure to properly protect and carry out work in the public way. (Ord. O-82-59 § 1 (part), 1982; Ord. O-71-24 § 15, 1971).
12.04.150 Relocation and protection of utilities
Before any permittee begins excavation in any public way, he shall contact the Utility Notification Center of Colorado and make inquiries of all ditch companies, utility companies, districts, municipal departments and all other agencies that might have facilities in the area of work to determine possible conflicts.
The permittee shall contact the Utility Notification Center of Colorado and request field locations of all facilities in the area at least forty-eight hours in advance. Field locations shall be marked prior to commencing work. The permittee shall support and protect all pipes, conduits, poles, wires, or other apparatus which may be affected by the work from damage during construction or settlement of trenches subsequent to construction. (Ord. O-94-17 § 11, 1994; Ord. O-82-59 § 1 (part), 1982; Ord. O-71-24 § 16, 1971).
12.04.160 Noise, dust, debris, hours of work
Each permittee shall conduct work in such manner as to avoid unnecessary inconvenience and annoyance to the general public and occupants of neighboring property. In the performance of the work, the permittee shall take appropriate measures to reduce noise, dust, and unsightly debris. No work shall be done between the hours of ten p.m. and seven a.m., nor at any time on Sunday, except with the written permission of the Director, or in case of an emergency. (Ord. O-82-59 § 1 (part), 1982; Ord. O-71-24 § 17, 1971).
12.04.170 Clean-up
As the work progresses, all public rights-of-way and private property shall be thoroughly cleaned of all rubbish, excess dirt, rock, and other debris. All clean-up operations shall be done at the expense of the permittee. (Ord. O-82-59 § 1 (part), 1982; Ord. O-71-24 § 18, 1971).
12.04.180 Emergency work
Any person maintaining facilities in the public way may proceed with repairs upon existing facilities without a permit when emergency circumstances demand that the work be done immediately. Emergency work is defined to mean any work necessary to restore water, sewer, gas, phone, electric, and cable facilities. Repairs on other facilities in the public way may also be administratively classified as emergency by the Director. The person doing the work shall apply to the Director for a permit on the first working day after such work has commenced. All emergency work will require prior telephone notification to the City Police Department of Public Safety and the appropriate fire protection district. (Ord. O-94-17 § 12, 1994; Ord. O-82-59 § 1 (part), 1982; Ord. O-71-24 § 19, 1971)
12.04.190 Preservation of monuments
The permittee shall not disturb any surface monuments or survey hubs and points found on the line of work unless approval is obtained from the Director. Any monuments, hubs, and points disturbed will be replaced by a Colorado registered land surveyor at the permittee's expense. (Ord. O-94-17 § 13, 1994; Ord. O-82-59 § 1 (part), 1982; Ord. O-71-24 § 20, 1971).
12.04.200 Registration to do work
All persons doing work within the public way under this chapter shall obtain a registration if required by Chapter 14.11 of this code.
The City Engineer may waive the registration requirements for any owner of a single-family residence desiring to repair their driveway or sidewalk provided the owner performs the work personally and upon satisfactory evidence to the City Engineer that the applicant is competent to perform the work. (Ord. O-2011-11 § 1, 2011; Ord. O-82-59 § 1 (part), 1982; Ord. O-71-24 § 21, 1971).
12.04.210 Boring
Boring or other methods to prevent cutting of the pavement will be required upon request of the Director. It is the city's intent to require boring only when necessary on arterial and major and minor collector streets with high volumes of traffic and/or high accident potential. (Ord. O-94-17 § 14, 1994; Ord. O-82-59 § 1 (part), 1982; Ord. O-71-56 § 1, 1971; Ord. O-71-24 § 22, 1971).
12.04.220 Suspension or revocation of permits and stop work orders
A. Any permit may be revoked or suspended by the Director, after notice to the permittee for:
1. Violation of any condition of the permit or of any provision of this chapter;
2. Violation of any provision of any other ordinance of the city or state law relating to the work;
3. Existence of any condition or performance of any act which does constitute or cause a condition endangering life or damage to property.
B. A suspension or revocation by the Director, and a stop work order, shall take effect immediately upon notice to the person performing the work in the public way.
C. A stop work order may be issued by the Director to any person or persons doing or causing any work to be done in the public way without a permit, or in violation of any provision of this chapter, or any other ordinance of the city.
D. Any suspension or revocation or stop work order may be appealed by the permittee to the Director by filing a written notice of appeal within ten days of the action. (Ord. O-94-17 § 15, 1994; Ord. O-82-59 § 1 (part), 1982; Ord. O-71-24 § 23, 1971).
12.04.230 Appeals procedure
Any decision rendered by the Director may be appealed within thirty days by the permittee to the Board of Appeals in accordance with the rules and procedures established by that body. (Ord. O-82-59 § 1 (part), 1982; Ord. O-71-24 § 24, 1971).
12.04.240 Penalty
If any person, firm or corporation, including but not limited to the officers and agents of a corporation responsible for its actions or inaction, and the partners of a partnership, firm or joint venture, shall violate or cause the violation of any of the provisions of this chapter, they shall be guilty of a separate offense for each and every day or portion thereof during which a violation is committed, continues or is permitted, and upon conviction of any such violation such person, firm or corporation, including but not limited to such partners, officers or agents, shall be subject to the penalties set forth in Subsection 1.16.020A. (Ord. O-96-44 § 13, 1996; Ord. O-94-17 § 16, 1994; Ord. O-84-87 § 7, 1984; Ord. O-82-59 § 1 (part), 1982; Ord. O-71-24 § 25, 1971).
Chapter 12.08 - Major Street Plan and Master Plan
12.08.010 Major street plan adopted
The major street plan adopted by Resolution No. 70-95 includes a single map bearing the legend "Major Street Plan, City of Lakewood, Colorado," as certified to the City Council by the Lakewood Planning Commission. (Ord. O-94-17 § 17, 1994; Res. 70-95 § 1, 1970).
12.08.020 Master plan-Acceptance and approval
The master plan for the development of the city, with accompanying maps, charts and descriptive matter, which master plan is entitled and known as the Lakewood Comprehensive Plan shall be as adopted and from time to time amended by the Lakewood Planning Commission and approved by the City Council. (Ord. O-94-17 § 18, 1994; Res. 75-68 § 1, 1975).
12.08.030 Master plan certification and filing
The Mayor and City Clerk are authorized and directed to indicate the acceptance and approval of the Lakewood Comprehensive Plan mentioned in Section 12.08.020 by affixing their signatures to a certification of this acceptance and approval on the Lakewood Comprehensive Plan; and the City Clerk is authorized and directed to file a certified copy of the Lakewood Comprehensive Plan with the Clerk and Recorder of Jefferson County. (Ord. O-94-17 § 19, 1994; Res. 75-68 § 2, 1975).
Chapter 12.12 - Street Improvement Policy
12.12.010 City street system-Classification
A. Functional Classifications. City streets shall be placed in five functional classifications: local streets, minor collector streets, major collector streets, arterial streets, and major regional arterial streets.
B. Major Street Plan Classifications. Local streets, minor collector streets, major collector streets and arterial streets not specifically shown on the major street plan of Lakewood, must be platted and developed as determined by the city.
C. References in existing planned developments (PD's) and official development plans (ODP's) to street designations such as "freeways" and "major streets" will be reviewed by the Director of the Department of Planning, Permits and Public Works as said streets are to be planned or constructed and the Director of the Department of Planning, Permits and Public Works will determine which new street designation standards will be applied. The determination of the Director of the Department of Planning, Permits and Public Works may be appealed by the affected property owner to the Planning Commission within ten days of said determination and the Planning Commission's decision on the street design designation shall be final.
D. All state highways in Lakewood, except freeways, are designated as a part of the city street system for determining cost responsibilities in Section 12.12.030. (Ord. O-94-17 §§ 20-22, 1994; Ord. O-91-59 § 6 (part), 1991; Ord. O-85-63 § 1, 1985).
12.12.020 Type of improvements required for city's street system
Adequate and consistent design guidelines, based on engineering and planning standards, must be applied in developing the city's street system. All street improvements will therefore be in accordance with the city Engineering Regulations, Construction Specifications, and Design Standards as amended, the subdivision ordinance and the zoning ordinance.
In those instances where, in the opinion of the City Engineer, the rigid application of such guidelines would result in excessive right-of-way costs, relocation problems, and/or other extreme difficulties, a lesser standard may be approved by the City Engineer. (Ord. O-94-17 § 23, 1994; Ord. O-85-63 § 2, 1985).
12.12.030 Cost responsibility for improvements to the city's street system
A. The cost responsibilities for street improvements applies the general but qualified concept that those who benefit from street and other public improvements should be most directly responsible for the cost of said improvements.
B. In applying this concept, the following conditions are recognized and incorporated in assigning cost responsibilities:
1. Any new land development within Lakewood benefits by the existence and use of the existing street system and other public improvements in the community. Nonetheless, while the existing street system and other existing public improvements benefit all new land development, no specific monetary charges are made to new land developments for use of the existing street system and other existing public improvements.
2. Benefits derived from arterial and major regional arterial streets adjacent to and within a new land development accrue both to the general public and to the owner of a new land development.
3. Benefits derived from major collector streets, minor collector streets and local streets are direct and accrue primarily to the owner of a new land development.
C. Cost responsibilities for new streets are as follows:
Classification Right-of-Way Streets Sidewalk/Bikeways
Major regional Property owner Shared Property owner
arterial streets
Arterial streets Property owner Shared Property owner
Collector streets Property owner Property owner Property owner
(major and minor)
Local streets Property owner Property owner Property owner
Cost sharing on major regional arterial and arterial streets shall be done in the following manner: the property owner shall pay the cost of the street except for those costs paid for by the city. The property owner shall be responsible for all street improvements defined in Section 14.13.020 of the municipal code including roadway base and pavement thicknesses up to an EDLA (equivalent daily loaded axle) of thirty or the EDLA required for all traffic generated by the land development whichever is greater. The city will pay for any roadway base and pavement thicknesses in excess of the portion paid by the property owner.
D. Rebuild of Existing Street Facilities. The city shall have the authority to require improvements on existing streets made necessary by the development of a parcel. The procedures for such improvements shall be as defined in Chapter 14.13 of the city code or the subdivision and zoning ordinances, whichever provides the higher standard. These improvements shall include but not be limited to: Those rights-of-way, easements, access rights, and physical improvements which, upon formal acceptance by the city, shall become the responsibility of the city for ownership and/or maintenance and repair, unless otherwise provided, and shall include, but not by way of limitation, the following: curb and gutter, asphalt pavement, concrete pavement, streets of all types, survey monuments, pavement striping, sidewalks, pedestrian/bike paths, traffic signals, street lights, street signs, highways, freeways, rights-of-way, easements, access rights, construction plans, medians, bridges, acceleration and deceleration lanes, culverts, storm drainage facilities including necessary structures, channels, water lines, sanitary sewer lines, and all other improvements, which upon acceptance by the city are intended to be for the use of and enjoyment of the public.

The regulation of the location of newspaper corrals in the Belmar Site is essential to ensure compatibility with the unique design of the Belmar Site and to avoid visual blight by controlling congestion of newspaper vending machines at certain locations. The City recognizes the First Amendment rights of newspapers to distribute their publications and will not interfere with such rights. There will be both an ample number of newspaper corrals located within the Belmar Site and an ample number of alternative methods of newspaper distribution through home delivery and retail stores in the Belmar Site. This Chapter does not regulate content.
B. The Belmar Site consists of the Service Areas of The Plaza Metropolitan District No. 1, The Plaza Metropolitan District No. 2, and The Plaza Metropolitan District No. 3 as legally described more specifically in an Exhibit on file in the City Clerk's Office as may be amended from time to time.

Upon denial of renewal of a permit, or suspension, revocation, expiration for failure to use or maintain, or expiration for failure to renew, the Director may remove the newspaper vending machine, contents of any machine, change the locks, hold any contents and money as abandoned property, and issue a new permit to someone else.

Starting March 1st, you can experience a scent that's inspired by "the first smell of spring in New York" as Andy Warhol once said. Bond No.9's Andy Warhol Union Square is a floral scent with top notes of lily of the valley and green stems, middle notes of blue freesia and white birchwood then base notes of mellow amber and musk.
Individually the scent retails for $195 for 100ml and $135 for 50ml but Bond No.9 is introducing their limited edition portfolio of ten bottles featuring a different print of Andy Warhol's famous Flowers piece. This is for the "serious collector", the ones willing to part with $1500 for ten 100ml bottles.
After discovering my new love Chinatown, this scent seems to be right up my alley. On March 1st, you can find this scent online at www.bondno9.com. Aren't the bottles gorgeous? I think I'd be alright with just one for now.

My personal affinity for Gucci bags has flourished with designer Alessandro Michele leading the brand. I'm not alone; seemingly every major fashion insider feels the same way, and I've spotted the brand's bags, clothing and shoes on many of the most stylish men and women in the world.
When it comes to the bags, the Gucci Dionysus lead the way for Michele's Gucci, but there is a new bag in town: the Sylvie. If the Dionysus is the brand's bold, often-embellished, monogram option, the Gucci Sylvie Bag is its ladylike, structured sister. The Sylvie feels old and new all at once, pairing classic Gucci visual signatures with a modernity befitting the brand's new era.
Rendered in leather, the structured shoulder bag comes in three colors and offers two interchangeable straps: one in smooth, classic leather and another in color-coordinated bi- and tri-color web ribbons. The ribbon strap works much better than you'd expect; I tried it on and was pleasantly surprised by how nicely it hung from my shoulder. Because the ribbon strap can be doubled up and tied in a variety of different ways, you can suit the length to your liking.
Colors offered for the Sylvie include off-white, hibiscus red and black, and each gives you a totally different look. Personally, I'm obsessing over the off-white for spring and summer lights, as well as the red for a colorful statement piece. The front of the bag features an eye-catching metal chain and buckle closure. On the inside, you'll find microfiber lining and an open pocket, plus one for your smartphone. With dimensions of 10″W x 6.75″H x 3″D, this bag eschews the micro bag trend but is not oversized; in fact, the interior is just right to fit my wallet, phone and beauty items in an organized, easily accessible way. You can buy the Sylvie in red, off-white, and black via Gucci for $2,490.
To bring the Sylvie to life, we decided to document a day in the life of this bag, alongside some of our favorite Gucci Spring 2016 clothing, shoes and accessories.

For fast gearing up to get into heroics, these crafted PvP items are better than quest rewards. They are very cheap to make, and often sell for less than 200 gold on my server.
- Contender's Leather Helm
- Contender's Leather Shoulders (better than the quest reward because of the crit and mastery)
- Contender's Leather Chestguard
- Contender's Leather Bracers (better than the instance drop because of the crit and mastery)
- Contender's Leather Gloves
- Contender's Leather Belt is identical to Ghost Fox Belt (from the Corruption Runs Deep quest)
- Contender's Leather Leggings
- Contender's Leather Boots
Other than the belt, there are no quest rewards that can match these items for use in PvE. You will need to be careful with the itemization of your other gear, since all the Contender's set only contains Critical Strike Rating and Mastery. Guardians also need Hit Rating and Expertise.
This gear would get quickly replaced at level 90, with Justice Point gear (ilevel 458) and gear from heroics (ilevel 463). However, this will give you a good set that can be confidently used to start tanking heroic instances immediately.

The Case for Bureaucracy: A Public Administration Polemic
Chatham House Publishers, 1 janv. 1994 - 226 pages
In this revised third edition the author sharpens his defence of the American public service. Attacking both the popular stereotypes and some more caustic criticism by academics in the field of public administration, this book presents substantial statistical data, buttressed by personal observation, to demonstrate the author's theory that American government is actually more competent, successful and steadfast than most people realise.

Acorna - Unicorn Girl 1
Acorna is found in an escape pod floating in deep space by three asteroid miners, who take her in. She has silver hair, odd fingers and feet, and a little silver horn in the middle of her forehead. They soon find out she can decipher metals in asteroids, clean water and air using her horn. She also learns extremely quickly, and after two years she looks like she's six even though she only looked two when they found her. So when they go to get money f...

The median price of a single-family home in Marin shot up 27 percent to $975,000 in June, traditionally the busiest month of the year, and sales increased 12 percent, according to the Marin County Assessor's Office.
The office reported that 271 single-family homes sold in June 2013, compared with 242 in June 2012. Marin real estate agents credited the buying frenzy to fears that interest rates would soon rise in addition to existing factors such as the dearth of homes on the market.
"Mortgage rates are low and they almost certainly will go higher as the economy improves," said Peter Nielsen, a local agent who authors the MarinRealtyExperts.com blog. "Ultimately, the (Federal Reserve Bank) is going to have to increase rates to put a check on inflation.
"The prospect of rates going higher is motivating buyers to get in now and that will continue until rates get considerably higher," the agent said.
Currently, the interest rate for a 30-year fixed mortgage is 4.37 percent — still historically low.
Prices and sales soared for condos as well as single-family dwellings. Eighty condos sold in June 2013, compared with 56 in June 2012. The median price of a condo soared from $370,000 last June to $493,850.
"Buyers calculated, after talking to their lenders, that if they wait to buy, with interest rates going up they will end paying more in two or three months. So they decided, 'Let's pay more now and get into a house,'" said Jola Jankowska, a Frank Howard Allen agent.
"Here's an example for an $800,000 home purchase in Marin with a conforming loan of $625,000 and a down payment of $174,500," Jankowska said.
"If you bought last week, with an interest payment of 5 percent, your monthly principal and interest payment would be $3,357. If you purchased before May and got an interest rate of 3.5 percent, your monthly payment would be $2,808, $549 lower. The difference equals a payment for a $100,000 loan."
Another factor driving the market is the dearth of homes on the market, a condition that has been in place for at least a year.
"There are 554 properties for sale in Marin now, both condos and detached dwellings," said real estate broker Patti Cohn. "This is about a month and three-quarters' worth of inventory." This refers to how long it would typically take for every home on the market to sell. The normal amount is around four months.
Cohn noted that June is the peak month for real estate sales, "then it slows in July and August and picks up a tad in September."
Robert Bradley, chief executive of Bradley Real Estate, offered a nuanced analysis of the median price increase.
"What happened is the type of properties that sold is much different," Bradley said.
"Even a year ago, a good percentage of the homes that sold in Marin were still of the distressed property variety," Bradley said, meaning homes in foreclosure or short sales, which are homes selling for less than what's owed on the mortgage.
"In general, the homes that sold that were short sale and bank-owned tended to be less expensive homes," Bradley said.
Because so many lower-priced homes sold, this brought down the median price, Bradley said.
"Now we are operating in a market where a very small percentage of sales is short sales and foreclosures," Bradley said. "There are only 23 active listings of detached single-family residences that are bank-owned, short sales or in the foreclosure process on the market in Marin right now."
Because of this, the median price is now much higher, but this doesn't mean individual prices are up as much as 27 percent, Bradley said.
"In my estimation, prices have increased about 15 percent over the last year, which is a huge increase," the broker said. "We've gone through the whole cycle and we are at the end of the cycle. This is a very good sign for the health and stability of our local real estate market."

By Mick LaSalle/SFGate.com
About a month ago, People Magazine chose Gwyneth Paltrow as its Most Beautiful Woman of 2013 — an entirely plausible and acceptable choice.
But for fun I asked readers to make some of their own suggestions, and the results are featured in the above gallery.
Because People Magazine's choice was specific to 2013, I made sure that, in choosing the photos, we limited it to a narrow time frame. After all, if these women are, in effect, our readers' idea of Paltrow's competition, the Paltrow of last week should not be competing against the career best of everyone else. So all the photos here, unless one slipped in by accident, were all taken between January 1, 2012 through today. A window of about 16 or 17 months. In fact, many of the photos were taken just in the last few months.
Actually, limiting the time frame was instructive in at least one good way. Some people look terrific, even after decades in the public eye.
Anyway, if we left off one of your favorites, either write to me at firstname.lastname@example.com or leave a comment here, and we'll see what we can do. Remember we're not talking about sexy or who you're in love with. We're just talking about beautiful.
I have my own choice in this group, which I will not reveal, except that there are two pictures of her and one of everybody else.
