Unless the license agreement provides otherwise, a licensee shall be required to extend its cable system pursuant to the following requirements:
A. Upon reasonable written request for service by any person located within the service area, the licensee shall, within sixty days, furnish the requested service to such person, unless prevented from providing said service due to factors outside licensee's control such as permit restrictions or private easement considerations. If such service has not been implemented within ninety days of written notice from the county, the county may impose liquidated damages for each day thereafter in accordance with 5.04.350.
B. The licensee shall extend and make cable television service available to every unserved dwelling unit within any area reaching the minimum density of at least thirty dwelling units per aerial cable mile, or fifty dwelling units per underground cable mile, except that the licensee shall not be required to install cable where another authorized licensee has already done so. Upon request, this density requirement may be modified by the county for a specific licensee, provided said licensee demonstrates that it would be commercially impracticable to comply with said requirement. For purposes of this section, a density requirement may be considered commercially impracticable if licensee's compliance with said requirement would create a significant adverse impact on the capital costs of licensee's Pima County cable system.
C. The licensee shall prevent unnecessary damage to streets, rights-of-way and property by installing cables or conduits underground in new subdivisions at the same time and in the same trench as telephone, electric or similar services are installed. Given reasonable notice, the licensee shall install underground cable or conduit in all new subdivisions of six or more dwelling units within the service area at the same time and in the same trench as telephone, electric or similar services are installed. Cable need not be installed and/or activated until the new subdivision meets the criteria established for line extensions.
D. The licensee shall extend and make cable television service available to any resident requesting connection within the licensee's authorized service area at the standard connection charge if the connection to the isolated resident would require no more than a one hundred fifty-foot aerial or underground drop line.
E. With respect to requests for connection requiring an aerial or underground drop line in excess of one hundred fifty feet, the licensee shall extend service to such residents at a one-time charge not to exceed the actual installation costs incurred by the licensee for the distance exceeding one hundred fifty feet.
