Chapter 4939, and all applicable state and federal laws and regulations.
(B) Applicants are strongly encouraged to contact the Director of Public Service and request a pre-application conference. This meeting will provide an opportunity for early coordination regarding proposed facilities, locations, design, application submittal, and the approval process in order to avoid any potential delays in the processing of an application and deployment of facilities in the city.
(C) A small cell use permit granted under this chapter shall not convey any right, title or interest in the right-of-way, but shall be deemed a permit only to use and occupy the public ways for the limited purposes and term stated in the permit, this chapter, and the Design Guidelines established by the Director of Public Service. Further, no small cell use permit shall be construed as any warranty of title.
