Montague Municipal Code Art. IX Location of Property of Grantee

Any poles, wires, cable lines, conduits or other properties of the grantee (except for drop cable) to be constructed or installed in streets, shall be so constructed or installed only at such locations and in such manner, consistent with the terms of this chapter, as shall be approved by the city. Such approval shall not be withheld unreasonably and shall be granted or denied by the city within a reasonable period of time. Failure of the city to respond to a request shall be deemed an approval after forty-five days. Any denial shall be accompanied by a specific and detailed explanation for same. Any denial by the city shall relieve the grantee of its obligations pursuant to Article VII of this chapter. Further, 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 city which has not yet become a public street but it designated or delineated as a proposed public street on any tentative subdivision map approved by the city, except those installed or erected upon public utility facilities now or hereafter existing without obtaining the prior written approval of the city and the owner of any applicable privately owned property. (Ord. 93-03 §10 (part), 1993)

All transmission and distribution structures, lines and equipment erected by the grantee within the city shall be so located as to cause minimum interference with the proper use of streets, alleys and other public ways and places, and to cause minimum interference with the rights and reasonable convenience of property owners who join any of the streets, alleys or other public ways and places. In the case of disturbance of any street, sidewalk, alley, public way or paved area, the grantee shall, at its own cost and expense and in a workmanlike manner replace and restore such street, sidewalk, alley, public way or paved area in as good a condition as before the work involving such disturbance was done. Any such work shall be completed as soon as is reasonably practicable. (Ord. 93-03 § 10 (part), 1993)
