CODE OF ORDINANCES TO ADD SECTION 18 - 18 IM ,,�4r' NIIf40[IZ� AND CONDITIONS UPON WHICH ANY PUBLIC UTILITr/4' $ E �� R PERMITTED TO OCCUPY THE STREETS , HIGHWAYS , OR OTHER PUBLIC PLACES WITHIN THE CITY ; PROVIDING A PENALTY FOR NON- COMPLIANCE WITH SUCH TERMS AND CONDITIONS ; AND DECLARING ANY EMERGENCY . WHEREAS , Ark . Stat . Ann . § 73 - 208 provides that every City shall have jusisdiction , acting by ordinance , to determine the terms and conditions under which any public utility may be permitted to occupy the streets , highways , or other public places within the municipality , and such ordinance shall be deemed prima facie reasonable ; and WHEREAS , the Arkansas Supreme Court in Southwestern Bell Telephone CC v . City of Faety tevil e , S . W . 2d (Ark . 19 $1 ) state that municipailties�are not helpless regarding utility relocation costs , citing Ark . Stat . Ann . § 73 - 208 , and commented that the allocation of utility relocation costs could well be left to more specific legislation or negotiations between municipalities and utilities at the time of new construction or on the renewal of existing franchises ; and WHEREAS , the General Assembly has provided at Ark . Stat . Ann . § 73 - 239 and § 73 - 243 that any franchise granted to a public utility by a municipality to occupy the streets , highways , alleys , or other public ways is in effect perpetual , thus depriving municipalities of any leverage in negotiating the allocation of relocation costs with public utilities ; and WHEREAS , the Board of Directors has determined that if the City is required to bear all utility relocation costs necessitated by the construction of new streets and improve - ments to existing streets , many badly needed street projects will not be constructed due to a lack of adequate funds . NOW , THEREFORE , BE IT ORDAINED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE CITY OF FAYETTEVILLE , ARKANSAS : Section 1 . That Chapter 18 of the Fayetteville Code of Ordinancesis hereby amended by adding Sec . 18 - 18 to read as follows : Sec . 18 - 18 . Terms and conditions under which public utilities may occupy streets , highways , or other public places . ( a) Any public utility , as defined by Ark . Stat . Ann . § 73 - 201 ( d) , which occupies the streets , highways or other public places of the city under a franchise granted by the City or the State shall occupy said streets , highways or other public places subject to the following terms and conditions : ( 1 ) A public utility shall not erect or place any facility more than seven feet inside the right - of -way line for any street without the prior written approval of the City Manager who shall grant such approval only if he determines that the facility will not impair or obstruct present or future vehicular and pedestrian traffic . l } m& 1068 132 - 2 - ( 2 ) Whenever public utility facilities which are located within public right - of-way must be relocated in order not to impair or obstruct vehicular or pedestrian traffic on any new or existing street , highway , road or sidewalk , the public utility ( a) shall be required to relocate its facilities within a reasonable time from receipt of written notice from the City Manager , and (b ) shall bear its own relocation costs ; provided , where any project is funded with . federal or state funds and the utility is entitled by federal or state law to reimburse - ment for relocation expenses , the utility shall receive such reimbursement . This paragraph shall not be construed as requiring a utility to relocate its facilities within or from a private easement without payment of just compensation . ( 3 ) The following policies approved by Arkansas State Highway Commission Minute Order 70 - 300 shall apply to the accommodation and adjustment of utilities on street and alley rights - of-way within the City : ( a) General Criteria ( 1 ) Underground utility construction shall conform to all applicable codes , standards , and specifications . ( 2 ) The depth of bury for new and/ or replace - ment utility installations shall be established by the utility on the basis of engineering and safety factors for the area , and in keeping with the degree of hazard or protection required for the line involved ; provided , however , that the normal minimum depth of bury on all cross lines shall be 2 . 5 feet below the low points of roadway cross section , or 3 . 5 feet below the bottom of surfacing ( top of sub - grade) , whichever gives the greater depth ; and the normal minimum depth of bury on all parallel ( longitudinal ) lines shall be 2 . 0 feet . ( 3 ) Pedestals or other above ground utility appurtenances shall be located at or near the right - of-way line , well outside of the street maintenance operation area . ( 4) All proposed locations and utility designs shall be reviewed and subject to approval by the Street Department to ensure that the proposed construction will not cause avoidable interference with existing or planned street facilities , or with street operation or maintenance . The procedure for submitting plans and information to the Street Department for approval shall be developed and agreed upon by each utility and the street super - intendent . ( 5 ) On both cased and uncased installations , particularly on crossings installed in advance of new street construction , consideration should be given by the utility for placing spare conduit or duct to accommodate known or planned expansion of underground lines . uA068 133 " _ 3 - ( 6 ) The controls for pipelines as apply to encasement , conduit , appurtenances , installation , trenched and untrenched construction , and adjust - ment shall be followed , as applicable , on under- ground installations of electric power and commun- ication lines . (b ) Location and Alignment ( 1 ) Crossings should be located as near normal to the street alignment as practical . ( 2 ) Conditions which are generally unsuitable or undesirable for underground crossings should be avoided . These include locations such as in deep cuts ; near footings of bridges and retaining walls ; across intersections at grade or ramp terminals ; at cross drains where flow of water , drift , or stream bedload may be obstructed ; within basins of an underpass drained by a pump ; and in wet or rocky terrain where it would be difficult to attain minimum bury . ( c ) Cased and Uncased Construction ( 1 ) Where acceptable to both the utility and the Street Department on minor streets , under- ground crossings may be installed without protec - tive conduit or duct . Normally such installations should be limited to open trenched construction , or to small bores for pipe , wire or cable facilities where soil conditions permit installation by boring a hole about the same diameter as the pipe or cable and pushing the pipe or pulling the cable through . ( 2) Where crossings of underground lines are encased in protective conduit or duct , the encase- ment shall extend a suitable distance (minimum where practical equal to the depth of bury) beyond the slope or ditch lines . On curbed sections , it should extend outside the outer curbs . Where appropriate , the encasement shall extend to the access control lines , to the outside of frontage roads , or to an indicated line that allows for future widening of the street . ( 3 ) Consideration should be given to encase - ment or other suitable protection for any pipe , wire or cable facilities ( a) with less than minimum bury , (b ) near the footings of bridges or other street structures , or ( c ) near other locations where there may be hazard . ( d) Street Design When plans for street improvement and develop - ment are formulated utility line locations should be recognized and the street designed so as to minimize conflict with existing utilities . 1Q68 134 '._ - 4- All (b ) Any public utility which fails to comply with , or violates the terms and conditions prescribed by paragraph ( a) above shall , upon conviction , be fined in the sum of $ 500 . 00 or double that amount for each repetition ; provided , if the non- compliance or violation is , in its nature , continuous in respect to time , the enalty for allowing the continuation thereof shall be p$ 250 . 00 for each day that the same is unlawfully continued . Section 2 . This ordinance is hereby declared to be severa e S ould any provision hereof be declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unconstitutional or otherwise invalid , said declaration shall not effect the validity of the remaining provisions hereof . Section 3 . The Board of Directors hereby determines that many streets and highways throughout the City need to be widened , straightened , or otherwise improved ; that may new streets and highways need to be constructed ; that such improvements and new construction are necessary for the public safety and welfare ; that such improvements and new construc - tion will in many instances require the relocation of public utility facilities ; that the City will be unable to construct many badly needed streets and street improvements unless public utilities are required to bear the cost of relocating their facilities ; that Ark . Stat . Ann , § 73 - 208 grants cities the right to provide for reasonable terms and conditions upon which a public utility may occupy the streets , highways or other public places within the municipality ; and that the immediate passage of this ordinance is necessary to enable the construction of badly needed streets and street improve - ments . Therefore , an emergency is hereby declared to exist and this ordinance being necessary for the public safety and welfare shall be in full force and effect from and after its . passage and approval .
