A. Cables must be installed underground where all existing utilities are already underground. Previously installed aerial cable shall be undergrounded in concert with utilities when their facilities are undergrounded. The licensee may install cables on existing or replacement utility poles or in existing conduit where permission is granted by owner of the utility pole or conduit. No additional poles or longer poles will be permitted in the streets or public ways for any cable runs of this license. If the licensee installs cable on existing poles as provided herein, the licensee must bury its cable if such poles are removed and not replaced in kind. If the licensee makes use of existing conduit of an entity not then regulated by the City, by license or franchise, the licensee will be subject to the provisions of this license in the use of such conduit in the streets and public ways.

B. To prevent unnecessary disruption and damage to streets, rights-of-way, and other property the installation of cable system must be accomplished in new subdivisions at the same time, and in the same trench as other communications, electric and other permanent services to structures. Except as Federal law may grant them other rights, developers of new residential buildings or mobile homes within a new or undeveloped subdivision, new residential units within new multiple-occupancy residential developments, and new commercial and industrial buildings and structures will treat cable television facilities as they treat other communication facilities, utilities and other underground facilities, in regards to availability and cost of trenching for undergrounding.
