Every
principal use and every lot within a subdivision shall have available
to it a source of electric power adequate to accommodate the reasonable
needs of such use and every lot within such subdivision. Compliance
with this requirement shall be determined as follows:
1.
If the
use is not a subdivision and is located on a lot that is served by
an existing power line and the use can be served by a simple connection
to such power line (as opposed to a more complex distribution system,
such as would be required in an apartment complex or shopping center),
then no further certification is needed.
2.
If the
use is a subdivision or is not located on a lot served by an existing
power line or a substantial internal distribution system will be necessary,
then the electric utility service provider must review the proposed
plans and certify to the City that it can provide service that is
adequate to meet the needs of the proposed use and every lot within
the subdivision.

made conveniently and without undue burden or expense or unnecessary
duplication of service.

facilities shall be constructed in such a manner as to minimize interference
with pedestrian or vehicular traffic and to facilitate maintenance
without undue damage to constructed improvements.
