Utility facilities and corridors should be located so as to protect scenic views. <br />Whenever possible, such facilities may be placed underground, or alongside or <br />under bridges. <br /> <br />3. Utility facilities and rights-of-way should be designed to preserve the natural <br />landscape and to minimize conflicts with present and planned land uses. <br />B. Regulations <br />1. Utilities are services and facilities that produce, transmit, carry, store, process, or <br />dispose of electric power, gas, water, sewage, communications, oil, and the like.
