(3) “REPLACEMENT UTILITY POLE.” An existing “UTILITY POLE” that has been renovated, reconfigured, or replaced with a similar structure so as to continue serving its primary existing purpose while also supporting the attachment of communications facilities that is approximately in the same location and serving the same function as the existing structure and in such a manner that does not result in a net increase in the number of “UTILITY POLES” located within the public rights-of-way, does not interfere with pedestrian or vehicular access and complies with applicable codes. The “REPLACEMENT UTILITY POLE” remains the property of the owner of the existing structure prior to the repurposing, unless ownership otherwise lawfully changes.
