(a)

Any poles, wires, cable lines, conduits, or other properties of the Grantee to be constructed or installed in streets shall be so constructed or installed only at such locations and in such manner as shall be approved by the Development Services Department Director acting in the exercise of his reasonable discretion.

(b)

The Grantee shall not install or erect any facilities or apparatus in or on other public property, places, or rights-of-way, or within any privately owned area within the County which has not yet become a public street but is designated or delineated as a proposed public street on any tentative subdivision map approved by the County, except those installed or erected upon public utility facilities now existing, without obtaining the prior written approval of the Development Services Department Director.

(c)

In those areas and portions of the County where the transmission or distribution facilities of both the public utility providing telephone service and the utility providing electrical service are underground or hereafter may be placed underground, the Grantee shall construct, operate, and maintain all of its transmission and distribution facilities underground. Amplifiers in the Grantee's transmission and distribution lines may be in appropriate housings upon the surface of the ground as approved by the Development Services Department Director. The County shall not be responsible in any manner for any costs incurred by the Grantee in placing the Grantee's facilities underground.
