whenever trenchless or boring operations are used and all incidental excavation
is in the non-paved areas. The permit includes the use of the lane adjacent to
the excavation.

situations arise which are described in Section 12.03.080.

All permits will be
issued by the town’s clerk-treasurer on forms approved by the town
