[R.O. 2011 §250.650; Ord. No. 2000-92 §2(8.1), 12-5-2000; Ord. No. 1578, 2-6-2018]
A. The ROW-user's use of the rights-of-way shall in all matters be subordinate
to the City's use or occupation of the rights-of-way. Without limitations
of its rights, the City expressly reserves the rights to exercise
its governmental powers now and hereafter vested in or granted to
the City. In situations where multiple users are within the same location,
first the municipal use shall have priority followed by Persons with
a valid and current Rights-of-Way Use Agreement, Franchise, or other
authorization with the City, followed by all others. All ROW users
shall construct and maintain their facilities so as not to interfere
with other users of the rights-of-way.
B. The ROW-users shall coordinate the placement of facilities in a manner
that minimizes adverse impact on any public improvement, as reasonably
determined by the City. Where placement is not regulated, the facilities
shall be placed with adequate clearance from such public improvements
so as not to impact or be impacted by such public improvements as
defined in the City's Design and Construction Manual. The design,
location, and nature of all facilities shall be subject to the review
and approval of the Administrator. Such review shall be on a non-discriminatory
basis in application of City policy and approvals shall not be unreasonably
withheld. City height limitations, applicable zoning restrictions,
and general City policies with regard to all users of the ROW shall
also be applicable to all facilities. For applications for towers
or other structures or equipment for wireless communications, the
most restrictive adjacent underlying zoning district classification
shall apply unless otherwise zoned and designated on the official
zoning map.
C. No equipment or facilities that exceed thirty (30) inches in height
above ground level, except utility poles, shall be placed within the
sight distance areas of intersections as determined under the City's
sight distance standards and the most current edition of the Manual
of the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials.
Appropriate sight distances for such equipment or facilities related
to driveways, alleys, or other entrances onto streets other than at
intersections, shall be determined on a case-by-case basis by the
Administrator, in order to provide reasonably safe locations for such
equipment or facilities.
D. The ROW user shall consider any request made by the City concerning
placement facilities in private easements in order to limit or eliminate
future street improvement relocation expenses.
E. All facilities shall be located and laid so as not to disrupt, adversely
impact, or interfere with any pipes, drains, sewers, irrigation systems,
or other structures or public improvements already installed. In addition,
the ROW-user shall, in doing work in connection with its facilities,
avoid, so far as may be practicable, disrupting or interfering with
the lawful use of the streets, alleys, sidewalks, or other public
lands of the City.
F. All facilities of the ROW-user shall be placed so that they do not
interfere with the use of rights-of-way and public lands, either existing
or proposed. The City, through its the Administrator, shall have the
right to consult and review the location, design, and nature of the
facility prior to installation. The City may, in its discretion, designate
certain locations or facilities in the rights-of-way to be excluded
from use by the ROW user, including, but not limited to, ornamental
or similar specially-designed street lights or other facilities or
locations which, in the reasonable judgment of the Administrator,
do not have electrical service adequate or appropriate for the provider's
facilities, or cannot safely bear the weight or wind loading thereof,
or any other facility or location that in the reasonable judgment
of the Administrator is incompatible with the proposed facilities,
or would be rendered unsafe or unstable by the installation.
G. The ROW-user shall not interfere with the facilities of other ROW
users without their permission. If and when the City requires or negotiates
to have a ROW user cease using its existing poles and to relocate
its facilities underground, all other ROW users using the same poles
shall also relocate their facilities underground at the same time.
The cost of such relocations shall be borne in accordance with this
Chapter and the applicable tariff governing that ROW user.
H. All facilities and other appurtenances laid, constructed, and maintained
by the permittee shall be laid, constructed and maintained in accordance
with acceptable engineering practice and in full accord with any and
all applicable engineering codes adopted or approved by the parties
and in accordance with applicable Statutes of the State, as well as
the rules and regulations of the commission or any other local, State,
or Federal agency jurisdiction over the parties.
I. The ROW user shall cooperate promptly and fully with the City and
take all reasonable measures necessary to provide accurate and complete
on-site information regarding the nature and location of its facilities
within the rights-of-way, both underground and overhead, when requested
by the City or its authorized agent for a public improvement. Such
location and identification shall be at the sole expense of the ROW
user without any expense to the City, its employees, agents or authorized
contractors.
J. It shall be the responsibility of the ROW user to take adequate measures
to protect and defend its facilities in the rights-of-way from harm
and damage.
K. Limited Space. The City shall have the power to prohibit or limit
the placement of new or additional equipment within the right-of-way
if there is insufficient space to accommodate all of the requests
of potential ROW users. In making such decisions, the City shall strive
to the extent possible to accommodate all existing and potential users
of the right-of-way, but shall be guided primarily by considerations
of the public interest, public health and safety, the public's priority
needs for the particular utility service, the condition of the right-of-way,
the time of the year with respect to essential utilities, the protection
of existing equipment in the right-of-way, and future City plans for
public improvements and development projects which have been determined
to be in the public interest. The design and location of all equipment
and facilities shall be subject to the review and approval of the
City. To ensure that the right-of-way remains accessible for public
uses, to mimize visual obtrusiveness of equipment and facilities,
and allow for adequate City maintenance of the right-of-way, a new
utility pole and any new ground-mounted equipment associated with
the new utility pole shall not be installed within one hundred fifty
(150) feet of another utility pole or other ground-mounted equipment
on the same side of the right-of-way. Should a ROW user seek to replace
a utility pole, said replacement utility pole shall be sited within
ten (10) feet of the currently existing utility pole and shall not
be subject to the spacing requirements set forth in this Subsection.
The spacing requirement set forth in this Subsection may be waived
or altered by the City upon the ROW user establishing good cause as
to why said spacing requirement shall be waived or altered.
[Ord. No. 1637, 12-18-2018]
L. Use Of Existing Facilities Required; Exceptions. All new facilities
or structures shall collocate on existing poles or within existing
conduit, trenches or other facilities to minimize unnecessary use
of right-of-way space, reduce potential existing or future interference
and obstructions and to reduce the cost to the public or others therefrom,
and to maximize the public's ability to use and license appropriate
private or public uses of the public rights-of-way in the public interest
(except where preempted by law or where good cause is established
as determined by the City applying these objectives.) Where existing
poles or facilities are available, or exist at or near the proposed
use, unless otherwise approved, the applicant must either use such
facilities or file a written request verified by the applicant for
exception specifying the specific reasons why such facilities are
not available or feasible to be used and addressing the objectives
hereof.
M. ROW users may be required prior to any excavation or installation
within the rights-of-way, to provide sufficient notification and joint
installation opportunities on a shared cost basis to potential users
of the rights-of-way as may be provided for by separate City policy.
Such notifications and adopted policies shall be designed to maximize
collocation ROW users, to minimize the disturbance of the rights-of-way
and to maximize usable capacity.
