Every permit as described in Section 5.06.010 , issued under the provisions of this chapter shall be in writing and shall be signed by the mayor and the owner or the authorized representative of the owner and shall constitute an undertaking by the county to permit the establishment, maintenance and use of the crossing or crossings, warning and safety devices within the affected county highway area and an undertaking by the owner to abide by or satisfy, as the case may be, the following terms and conditions: A. That all expenses incurred or to be incurred, directly or indirectly, in connection with the installation, maintenance, operation or modification of the crossing or crossings, warning and safety devices and such other safety devices as may be determined, from time to time, to be necessary by the director, shall be the sole responsibility of the owner; B. That the owner shall indemnify, defend and save harmless the county from any and all liability for property damage, personal injury or otherwise which arises or may arise from the operation, maintenance or use of the crossing, crossings, warning and safety devices; C. That all crossings, warning and safety devices shall be subject to inspection by the director and may not be installed, operated, or maintained without the approval of the director.

That the construction of the crossings for purposes of ingress and egress within the area between the pavement of a street and the owner's property shall be done in conformity with the provisions of Chapter 12.08 relating to driveways, unless the director determines that modifications of the requirements are necessary to assure safety to persons or property; G.
