(A) Existing Agricultural Exemptions: The provisions of this title shall not be exercised so as to impose regulations or require permits with respect to land used or to be used for existing agricultural purposes. However, with respect to the erections, maintenance, repair, alterations, remodeling, or extension of buildings or structures used or to be used for existing agricultural purposes, these shall conform to building or setback lines, and shall be subject to the building permit requirements of subsection 9-1-6(G) of this title. Also, in the interest of public health, a residence and its water supply and sewage disposal facilities in connection with an agricultural use, shall not be exempt. In the event that the land ceases to be used solely for agricultural purposes, then and only then shall all provisions of this title apply.
(B) Public Utility Exemption: Where federal or state statutes supersede local ordinance, as required by such statute, the type or location of any poles, towers, wires, cables, conduits, vaults, laterals, or any other similar distribution equipment of a public utility is exempt from the requirements of this title.
(C) Underground Installations Exemption: Pipelines and other underground installations, to the extent that the same are completely buried beneath the surface of the soil, are exempt from the requirements of this title, provided, that any incidental or associated structures, installations, or equipment, except markers, used in connection with such pipeline or other underground installations, and which protrude or are extended above the surface of the soil, shall, to the extent of such protrusion or extension, be subject to all of the applicable provisions hereof.
