(A) Where a person applies for service and there is no existing city line in the right-of-way adjacent to the property to be served, the city may, in its discretion, extend the existing lines.
(B) The city will construct line extensions only along public streets, roads and highways which the city has the legal right to occupy and on public lands and private property across which rights-of-way satisfactory to the city may be obtained without cost to the city.
(C) Should the city extend its lines, the person or persons requesting the extension shall contract to pay for the extension and all costs of construction, including, but not limited to, the costs of materials, transformers, labor, transportation, engineering, overhead and contingencies at the rate of one and one-half times the cost of construction to be paid on a monthly basis over a five-year period.
(D) A person applying for line extensions for a development project shall comply with the following requirements:
(1) Submit complete and approved plot plans of the area, including grade information, street or area parking, sewer, water and distribution mains, landscaping, location of other utility services and an estimate of electrical load and service requirements to the city;
(2) (a) Provide any easements required by the city at no cost to the city. These easements shall be included in the recorded plot or shall be specified in a written agreement to secure the easements prior to the city beginning construction.
(b) Each premises to be served by the line extension shall be covered by a recorded deed restriction requiring underground electrical service to serve that premises. Unless otherwise agreed and specified in the easement, no buildings or structures of any kind may be constructed on these easements; and
(3) (a) Be responsible for all grading and staking of property lines and lot corners. Grade stakes indicating final grade shall be placed so that electric facilities installed by the city can be at proper depth after the development is completed.
(b) Any relocation in depth or routing of the installed underground system made necessary by action of the developer/customer shall be done at the expense of the developer/customer. Any rough grading required shall be completed before installation of any electric facilities is started.
