In the restoration of concrete sidewalks, in addition to the question of serviceability and durability of restoration, the matter of appearance will be considered in determining the area to be restored, regardless of the size of the opening. The restoration of complete blocks will be required, if, in the opinion of the Director of Public Works , circumstances justify such restoration. Opening in brick sidewalks shall be restored as concrete sidewalks unless otherwise -ordered by the Director of Public Works. The restoration shall be of such width as he may specify, regardless of the actual width of the opening. The permittee in accepting and acting under a "Street Opening Permit" thereby agrees to assume {�l responsibility for injury and/or property damage incurred because of any settlement of a restored area, and further agrees to pay all costs involved in conditioning such areas. If any settlement in a restored area occurs within a period of one year from date of completion of the permanent restoration, it shall be considered as conclusive evidence of defective backfilling. Any expense incurred by the City in correcting such settlement shall be paid by the permittee. 8 . RESTORATION SECURITY City restoration costs must be assured in one of the following ways : a.
