16.16.380 Utility location and easement requirements.
   A.   All utility facilities, including but not limited to gas, electric power, except electrical lines exceeding thirteen KV capacity, telephone and cable television shall be located underground throughout the subdivision. All utility facilities existing throughout the subdivision shall be located in either the street right-of-way and its adjacent easements or in a dedicated alley, except where easements between alleys and street rights-of-way are necessary to connect the utilities as approved by the city. Underground service connections to the street property line of each platted lot shall be installed at the subdivider's expense. At the discretion of the city council, the requirement for service connections to each lot may be waived in the case of adjoining lots to be retained in single ownership and intended to be developed for the same primary use.
   B.   Proper coordination shall be established between the subdivider and the applicable utility companies for the continuation of public utility easements established in adjoining properties, when rights- of-way or dedicated alleys are not appropriate.
   C.   Where topographical, locational or other conditions are such as to make impractical the inclusion of public utilities within rights-of-way or dedicated alleys, perpetual unobstructed easements of at least ten feet in width shall be provided. Easements shall be indicated on the plat.
