(A) The authority to grant a private party authorization to encroach upon a public way shall be exercised by the Administrator. In the Administrator's discretion, however, any application for authorization to encroach may be submitted to the Town Council for review and decision, with or without a recommendation from the Administrator. In such cases, the grant of authority, if given, will be made by adoption of a resolution by the Town Council. In any case, the grant of such authority shall be conditioned upon such terms as shall be specified in the relevant encroachment or franchise agreement.
(B) The Administrator may make such investigations and take or authorize the taking of such other steps as the Administrator deems necessary or appropriate to consider and act upon applications to encroach upon a public way.
(C) The Town Council may set a public hearing to give the public an opportunity to comment on an application to encroach upon a public way.
