If, after any such public hearing, the council finds that the public necessity, health, safety or welfare requires such removal and such underground installation within a designated area, the council shall, by resolution, declare such designated area an underground utility district and order such removal and underground installation.
The council shall also make one or more of the following findings:
A. That such undergrounding will avoid or eliminate an unusually heavy concentration of overhead electric facilities.
B. The street or road right-of-way is extensively used by the general public and carries a heavy volume of pedestrian or vehicular traffic.
C. The street or road right-of-way passes through a civic area or public recreation area or an area of unusual scenic interest to the general public.
Such resolution shall include a description of the area comprising such district and shall fix the time within which such removal and underground installation shall be accomplished and within which affected property owners must be ready to receive underground service. A reasonable time shall be allowed for such removal and underground installation, having due regard for the availability of funds, labor, materials and equipment necessary for such removal and for the installation of such underground facilities as may be occasioned thereby.
