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 City Engineer acting in the exercise of his reasonable discretion. Prior to commencement of construction or installation of grantee’s property upon any City streets an encroachment permit shall be obtained from the City. Where facilities are installed on a State highway, proper encroachment permits must be obtained from the State of California.

B. The grantee shall not install or erect any facilities or apparatus in or on other public property, places or rights-of-way, or within any privately owned area within the City which has not yet become a public street but is designated or delineated as a proposed public street on any tentative subdivision map approved by the City, except those installed or erected upon public utility facilities now existing, without obtaining the prior written approval of the City Engineer.

C. In those areas and portions of the City where the transmission or distribution facilities of either the public utility providing telephone service or those of the utility providing electric service are underground or hereafter may be placed underground, then the grantee shall likewise construct, operate and maintain all of its transmission and distribution facilities underground, at grantee’s sole cost and expense. For the purpose of this subsection, “underground” shall include a partial underground system, e.g., streamlining. Where complete underground electric and telephone service is provided, grantee shall have his transmission system completely underground, including amplifiers.

D. In the event that transmission or distribution facilities of either the public utility providing telephone service or the utility providing electric service are placed underground to provide expansion of facilities, then the grantee shall likewise install main underground cables in the same trench, or grantee shall dig his own trench and install main underground cables in that trench, in order to provide for future underground connections. The intent of this section is to require that grantee take advantage of required trenching performed by telephone and/or electric utilities when installation is made.
