Right-Of-Way Use PermitsChapter 12.04 of the Des Moines Municipal Code, the City of Des Moines Right-of-Way Use Code, requires a right-of-way use permit for any private use of a public right-of-way. A type C permit authorizes activities that will alter the appearance of or disturb the surface, supersurface, or subsurface of the right-of-way on a temporary or permanent basis, and includes boring, culverts, street trenching, and utility installation / repair / replacement. A type D permit authorizes long term and permanent activities for extended periods of time which will not physically disturb the right-of-way, but involves the use of a right-of-way for structures, facilities, haul routes and uses that involve capital expenditures and long-term commitments, and includes underground rights and utility facilities. An estimate of the construction cost must accompany the permit application. Work within the public right-of-way will be charged a variable permit fee based on a fee schedule approved by the City. |
