5. The copies of the Restrictive Covenant, when fully executed and filed, together with certification of required insurance, shall be presented to the Building and Zoning Department and to the Public Works Department and permits thereafter be obtained for the work from both of these Departments.
6. The Applicant shall replace, at the Applicant's expense, any portion of the encroachment affected, in the event the Public Works Department must issue a permit for a utility cut in the future in the area in which the encroachments are approved.
