4.20.114.2   City has power to review and approve construction plans.
The city shall have the power to review and approve such plans, timetables and specifications, or any portion thereof, to avoid interference with the city rights-of-ways, traffic congestion or other negative aesthetic impacts and to assure that such plans, timetables and specifications are consistent with applicable statutes, ordinances, codes, regulations, determinations and rulings governing construction in the city including without limitation zoning ordinances and traffic safety/standards. Where such plans and specifications are not in compliance with such statutes, ordinances, codes, regulations, determinations and rulings, the franchisee shall modify or revise such plans and specifications so as to achieve such compliance. Franchisees must comply with the requirements of applicable federal, state and local statutes, ordinances, codes and regulations governing the location of subsurface installations including notification to or from a regional notification center (such as Underground Service Alert) concerning proposed excavation work. The franchisee agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless the city from and against any and all damages, liabilities and claims arising from or in any manner related to construction or reconstruction of a cable system including, but not limited to, any damage caused by excavation work. If, after construction begins, the planned placement of specific equipment by franchisee may cause a negative aesthetic impact, then the franchisee will make reasonable efforts to minimize such an impact provided, however, that the city shall have the final power to determine the placement of such equipment using its reasonable discretion in the application of its aesthetic standards.
