It shall be the policy of the city that subsequent to adoption of this chapter all new city utility facilities shall be located either in a public right-of-way or in an easement formally dedicated to public use. Easements shall be used only if specifically approved by the city, and approval shall be made only if it is demonstrated the restriction to locations in rights-of-way will result in undue hardship upon the developer. When used, easements shall be a minimum of 15 feet wide, with all utilities located at least five feet inside the easement.
