4.20.114.41.1. Notwithstanding any other provisions of the ordinance codified in this title, the franchisee shall remove or "wreck out" all of its aerial cable plant, together with above-grade pedestals containing passive devices utilized in connection with underground plant, which have been replaced by franchisee in the course of its normal operations or any construction or rebuild and which are no longer required for proper operation of the cable system.
4.20.114.41.2. Such portions of the plant which are subject to removal or wreck out in accordance with the provisions of this section must be removed before any construction, reconstruction, or rebuild is deemed complete by the city. Franchisee shall not be in default of any completion deadline unless franchisee has been given notice and opportunity to cure such default as provided in Section 4.20.109.2.1. However, franchisee will not be required to remove or wreck out, and may be permitted to abandon in place, any underground plant which has been rebuilt or replaced, provided that no portion of the abandoned plant is accessible to the public or is capable of causing a safety hazard.
4.20.114.41.3. Section 4.20.114.41.2 notwithstanding, the city may require franchisee promptly to remove underground plant or other equipment which interferes with roadwork or other road construction or which interferes with any other franchised cable service providers operation. Franchisee must comply with the requirements of applicable state and local statutes, ordinances, codes and regulations governing the location of subsurface installations with respect to notification to or from a regional notification center (such as Underground Service Alert) concerning proposed excavation work, and must keep adequate records or maps so that the location of its abandoned underground plant can be determined on request.
