(A) Utility lines of all kinds, including, but not limited to, those of franchised utilities, electric power and light, telephone and telegraph, cable television, water, sewer, and gas, shall be constructed and installed beneath the surface of the ground unless it is determined by the City Engineer that soil, topographical, or any other compelling conditions make the installation of utility lines as prescribed herein unreasonable or impracticable.
(B) It shall be the developer's responsibility to make the necessary arrangements with each utility in accordance with the utility's established policies.
(C) The underground installation of incidental appurtenances, such as transformer boxes, pedestal mounted boxes for electricity, or similar service hardware necessary for the provision of electric and communication utilities, shall not be required.
(D) Nothing in this section shall be construed to prohibit any entity furnishing utility service within the city from collecting, as a condition precedent to the installation of service facilities, any fee, prepayment, or contribution in aid of construction which may be required.
