Public utility facilities such as poles, wires, transformers, and other appurtenances thereto, reasonably necessary to render utility service to the public, are not subject to requirements of this chapter. Placement of a meter if on street frontage must have a certificate of appropriateness. Public utilities and local and state governing bodies should be sensitive to the architectural and historic significance of the community in its placement of the transmission and distribution facilities. In that regard, public utilities shall consult with the Board of Review at the Board's request about this problem.
