according to specifications approved by the Public Works Director. (1995 Code) G. Public Utilities: 1. All new electric distribution lines (excluding main line feeders and high voltage transmission lines), telephone service lines and services constructed within the confines of and providing service to customers in a newly platted residential area shall be buried underground. Such lines, conduits or cables shall be placed within easements or dedicated public ways in a manner which will not conflict with other underground services. Transformer boxes shall be located so as not to be hazardous to the public. 2. The City Council may waive the requirements of underground services as set forth in subsections 1 and 2 above if, after study and recommendation by the Planning Commission, the City Council establishes that such underground utilities would not be compatible with the planned development or unusual topography, soil or other physical conditions make underground installation unreasonable or impractical. (Ord. 598, 5-26-69) 1102.07: ARRANGEMENTS FOR IMPROVEMENTS: A. Contract for Development: Prior to the acceptance of the final plat, the owner or subdivider shall enter into a contract for development of new subdivisions with the City. In conjunction with this contract, the owner or subdivider shall deposit with the Public Works Director either a cash deposit or a corporate surety performance bond, approved as to form by the City Attorney, in an amount equal to one and one- half (1 1/2) times the Public Works Director's estimated cost of said improvements or one and one- fourth (1 1/4) times the actual bid. This bond shall also have a clause which guarantees said improvements for a period of one year after acceptance by the City of said improvements. In lieu of this clause, a separate one year maintenance bond approved as to form by the City Attorney, shall be submitted to the Public Works Director upon acceptance of said improvements by the City Council. Upon receipt of this maintenance bond the performance bond may be released. B. Improvements: All such improvements shall be made in accordance with the plans and specifications prepared by a registered professional engineer and approved by the Public Works Director and in accordance with applicable City standards and requirements. C. Bond: The owner or subdivider shall deposit with the Public Works Director cash or an approved indemnity bond to cover all expenses incurred by the City for engineering, legal fees and other incidental expenses in connection with the making of said improvements listed in Section 1102.06. In the event of a cash deposit, any balance remaining shall be refunded to the owner or subdivider after payment of all costs and expenses to the City have been paid. D. Street Access to Improved Lots Required: It is not the intent of this Section to require the owner or subdivider to develop the entire plat at the same time making all the required improvements, but building permits will not be granted except as to lots having access to streets on which the required improvements have been made or arranged for by cash deposit or bond as herein provided.
