So far as practicable, all telecommunications equipment shall be located along the edge or shoulders of streets or otherwise located so as to minimize disturbances to the right-of-way. Prior to commencement of work on any right-of-way, a franchisee shall provide the City Engineer with a map depicting the proposed location of any telecommunications equipment and obtain any applicable permits or approvals to commence such proposed work. Franchisees shall also comply with all the provisions of Chapter 13.20, including, but not limited to, the payment of any and all fees, except franchisee shall not be required to pay the plan check fee required therein. Upon completion of its work regarding any portion of right-of-way, franchisee shall restore such right-of-way to the same condition it was prior to such work. The city, in its sole discretion, shall direct the time, place, and manner of installation and maintenance of telecommunications equipment so as to minimize and mitigate any anticipated adverse impacts on the public's use of the public rights-of-way.
