Underground electric and telephone lines and other utilities are mandatory in all zoning districts. For the purposes of this Zoning Ordinance, underground wiring and utilities shall not be considered structures. In industrial subdivisions where Duke Energy advises the city that the power load requirements are sufficiently large as to make underground service impractical or unfeasible, electric and telephone lines may be installed overhead along rear lot and telephone lines. In an event where feed and the cost of installing underground service is impractical and unfeasible, electric and telephone lines may be installed overhead with the approval of the City Manager and Council. Should Council approve the overhead distribution system, all connections to it shall be made underground. All facilities are to be constructed on one side of the road without overhead crossovers.
