(A) For the purposes of operating and maintaining a cable system in the town, the grantee may erect, install, construct, repair, replace, reconstruct, and retain in public ways within the town any lines, cables, conductors, ducts, conduits, vaults, manholes, amplifiers, appliances, pedestals, attachments, and other property and equipment as are necessary and appurtenant to the operation of the cable system, provided that all applicable permits are applied for and granted, all required fees are paid, and all other pertinent town government policies and procedures are met.
(B) Prior to construction or alteration, the grantee shall in each case file plans with all appropriate town agencies and utility companies, and receive written approval of the plans, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. The grantee shall provide a monthly progress report to the town government until the completion of construction or alteration of the cable system.
(C) The grantee shall construct and maintain its cable system so as not to interfere with other uses of public ways. To the extent possible, the grantee shall make use of existing poles and other facilities available to the grantee prior to installing new poles and other facilities in and along public ways. The grantee shall notify all residents affected by proposed construction prior to the commencement of that work.
(D) Notwithstanding the above grant to use public ways, no public way shall be used by the grantee if the town government, in its sole opinion, determines that the use is inconsistent with the terms, conditions, or provisions by which the way is created or dedicated, or presently used.
