Latest version.
  • A. 
    There is hereby granted the further right, privilege and authority to the company to lease, rent, subscribe to, service or in any other manner obtain the use of towers, poles, lines, cables, facilities, services, licenses and franchises within the limits of the Township, and to use such towers, poles, line cables and other equipment and facilities, subject to all existing and future laws and regulations of the United States of America and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the ordinances and regulations of the Township subject to § A214-2F. The poles used for the company's distribution system shall be those erected and maintained by the telephone or electric companies and the company, when and where practicable, provided that mutually satisfactory rental agreements can be entered into with said other companies.
    B. 
    To the extent possible, the company shall make attachments to poles already in existence within the Township. No poles shall be erected by the company without prior approval of the Township with regard to location, height, types and any other pertinent aspect. However, no location of any pole or wire-holding structure of the company shall give rise to a vested interest in the public right-of-way, and such poles or structures shall be removed or modified by the company at its own expense whenever the Township determines that the public convenience would be enhanced thereby. The cable system plant shall be underground wherever the electric and telephone utility plant is underground, including being moved underground in all areas where a utility plant which is now aerial is hereafter placed underground.
