(a) Utility lines, wastelines, vents, and other piping affixed to the exterior of a building shall be structurally encased and screened from public view with building materials that are similar in nature and color to that of the permanent building. The developer or owner of a property shall be responsible for utility service connections, in cooperation with the utility company.
(b) All electrical, telephone, community antenna television and similar service wires and cables that provide direct service to the property being developed shall, within the exterior boundary lines of such property be installed underground, to the maximum extent permitted by law. The developer or owner is responsible for complying with the requirements of this section and he or she shall make the necessary arrangements with the utility companies for the installation of such facilities. When above-ground facilities are the only feasible alternative, they should be sited as unobtrusively as possible. For the purposes of this section, appurtenances and associated equipment including, but not limited to, surface-mounted transformers, pedestal-mounted terminal boxes and meter cabinets, and concealed ducts in an underground system may be placed above ground with written approval of the public works director.
