A. Any poles, wires, cable lines, conduits or other properties of the grantee to be constructed or installed in streets shall be so constructed or installed only at such locations and in such manner as shall be approved by the superintendent of streets of the city acting in the exercise of his reasonable discretion.

B. The grantee shall not install or erect any facilities of apparatus on public property or rights-of-way within the city (except those installed or erected upon public utility facilities now existing), without written approval of the director of public works of the city.

C. In those areas and portions of the city where either the transmission and/or distribution facilities of the public utility providing telephone service or those of the utility providing electric service are underground or hereafter may be placed underground, or are to be placed underground by a subdivider and as part of a subdivision development, then the grantee shall likewise construct or reconstruct, operate, relocate and maintain all of its transmission and distribution facilities underground, except that for new subdivisions approved after the effective date of this section and for new structures erected in such underground utility area, the builder or developer will provide and install at his sole cost and expense to the grantee’s specifications, trenches for underground distribution, trenches for service laterals, service drop trenches to the buildings point of entry, and restoration of trench area including furnishing of any imported backfill materials as required; and all conduit, vaults and pedestals, and internal wiring. Amplifiers in the grantee’s transmission and distribution line may be concrete boxes or vaults on the surface of the ground. Amplifier vaults and boxes shall be supplied as provided in this chapter, but the grantee shall supply and install any needed amplified assembly at the grantee’s expense. The city shall not in any manner be responsible for any costs incurred by the grantee in placing this property underground.

The builders or developer will provide plans for completion of cable television service with his plans for utilities including telephone, electrical service and gas service when applying for a building permit. The grantee shall make cable television service available to such new structure or structures within six months from the date of occupancy, providing the contractor or developer has fulfilled his obligations provided under the provisions of this section.
