§ 20-214. Other utilities.

(a)

The subdivider shall cause gas, electrical power, cable television, and telephone facilities to be installed in such a manner as to make adequate service available to each lot in the subdivision. No such electrical, telephone, or cable television service shall be located on overhead poles. In addition, plans indicating the proposed location of all such utilities shall be recommended for approval by the town engineer.

(b)

All new electric or communication lines from which lots are individually served shall be installed underground within all newly platted subdivisions or certified survey maps unless the town plan commission shall find that the lots to be served by said facilities can be served directly from existing overhead facilities. Associated equipment and facilities which are pertinent to underground electric and communications systems, including, but not limited to, substations, pad-mounted transformers, pad-mounted sectionalizing switches and pedestal-mounted terminal boxes, may be located above ground. Any landscape screening plan required for such above ground equipment shall be submitted to the affected utilities for approval. All utility installation should occur prior to final grading and shall not be located in areas of concentrated stormwater flow.
