The City Engineer or Director of Community Development may recommend to the Planning Commission, or the City Council may waive the requirements of this section of topographical, soil, and any other conditions which make such underground installation unreasonable or impractical. This section shall not apply, to overhead lines of a continuous lead crossing or abutting any portion of the subdivision boundaries, or to any other overhead lines which do not provide service to the area being subdivided or developed.
