Aid ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 18 OF THE A i9TTWTb Y ARK.
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 .

(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 .
