This ordinance was originally introduced as a result
of an outcry from Bells Flats residents over a cable
television company digging up the service area roads.
The assembly had requested the drafter of the
ordinance to devise a permitting system for anyone
excavating in the right -of -way and to extend the
ordinance to include a mandate for all utility lines
to be installed underground. At a work session and
public hearing on the ordinance, representatives of
local utility companies emphatically spoke against
any ordinance which would mandate all utility lines
to be installed underground but voiced non - objection
to a permitting system. Ordinance No. 90 -34 was
passed in first reading on October 4, 1990, and
public hearing was held on November 1, 1990, at which
time it was postponed until March 21, 1991 to allow
the utility companies to work with the borough on new
language.
STEVENS,
seconded by GOULD
If passed, the motion would substitute the original
ordinance for an ordinance entitled "An Ordinance
Establishing a Permit System for Excavation and
Construction in Road Rights -of -Way in Borough Road
Service Areas."
Assemblymember Stevens summarized the substituted
ordinance which was a permitting system for
excavation, construction, repairs and maintenance in
road rights -of -way in road service areas.
