(a) The grantee shall be required to extend the subscriber network and, upon an order by the County, the institutional network to any new developments or general areas within the imposed service area and is authorized to do so within the remainder of the Franchise Area pursuant to the following requirements:
(1) The grantee shall extend and make cable communications service available to every dwelling unit within any area reaching the minimum density of at least forty (40) dwelling units per street mile, or five (5) dwelling units within 660 feet, as measured from existing feeder cable.
(2) The grantee shall extend and make cable communications service available to every dwelling unit in all unserved, developing areas having at least forty (40) dwelling units planned per street mile, as measured from the existing system, and shall extend its system simultaneously with the installation of utility lines.
(3) The grantee shall extend and make cable communications service available to any isolated resident requesting a connection at the standard connection charge if the connection to the isolated resident would require no more than a standard 150 foot aerial drop line.
(4) With respect to requests for connections requiring an aerial drop line in excess of 150 feet, the grantee shall extend and make available cable television service to such residents at a connection charge not to exceed the actual installation costs incurred by the grantee for the distance exceeding 150 feet.
(5) Whenever the grantee shall have received written requests for services from at least fifteen (15) assured subscribers within 1,300 cable feet of its aerial trunk cable, the grantee shall extend its system to such subscribers solely for the usual connection and service fees for all subscribers provided such extension is technically and economically feasible. The 1,300 cable feet shall be measured in extension length of the grantee’s cable required for service located within a public way or easement and shall not include the length of necessary drop to the subscriber’s house or premises.
(b) Nothing set forth in this section shall be construed to prevent the grantee from serving areas not covered by this section upon an agreement with developers, property owners, or residents.
(c) Any violation of this section shall be considered a breach of the terms of this chapter. (§ 1, Ord. 961, eff. October 27, 1983)
