(A) Approval required. No poles shall be erected by the grantee without prior approval of the county or state with regard to location, height, types and any other pertinent aspect. However, no location of any pole or wire holding structure of the grantee shall give rise to a vested interest, and such poles or structures shall be removed or modified by the grantee at its own expense whenever the county determines that the public convenience would be enhanced thereby.
(B) Utilization of existing poles. Where poles already in existence for use in serving the county are available for use by the grantee, the county or state may require the grantee to use such poles and structures, if it determines that the public convenience would be enhanced thereby and the terms of the use available to the grantee are just and reasonable.
(C) Permitting. Where a public utility serving the county desires to make use of the poles or other wire-holding structures of the grantee, but agreement therefor with the grantee cannot be reached, the county may require the grantee to permit such use for such consideration and upon such terms as the county shall determine to be just and reasonable, if the county determines that the use would enhance the public convenience and would not unduly interfere with the grantee's operation.
