A. All structures, lines, and equipment erected by the grantee within the village shall be so located as to cause minimum interference during construction with the proper use of streets, alleys, public utility easements, and other public ways and places and to cause minimum interference during construction with the rights or reasonable convenience of property owners, and the grantee shall comply with all reasonable, proper and lawful ordinances of the village now or hereafter in force. The grantee shall maintain the system so as to cause no interference with the public ways or places during operation of the system as described in state laws and regulations.
