2023 Docket Enabling Ordinance December 19, 2023 <br />Page 193 <br /> <br /> <br />provisions for public safety during the course of construction, as well as consideration of <br />traffic safety and accident potential for the life of the installation. <br />2. For work requiring application to the county, the county may review and approve the <br />utility’s plans with respect to: <br />a. location, <br />b. the manner in which the utility facility is to be installed, <br />c. measures to be taken to preserve safe and free flow of traffic, <br />d. structural integrity of the roadway, bridge, or other structure, <br />e. ease of future road maintenance, and appearance of the roadway. <br />3. Provision shall be made for known or planned expansion of the utility facilities, <br />particularly those located underground or attached to bridges or other structures within <br />the right-of-way. <br />4. Granting of a franchise or permit shall not imply or be construed to mean the county <br />shall be responsible for the design, construction, or operation of the facility or for public <br />safety during the facility’s installation, operation, or maintenance. (Ord. 94-18 (part), <br />1994; Ord. 9230 Exh. A § 4B, 1992. Formerly 12.20.140). <br /> <br />12.14.02.150 General conditions and requirements - Standards and codes. <br />All utility installations shall be designed in accordance with the standards, codes and <br />regulations applicable to the type of utility. The methods of installation and materials used <br />shall conform to the codes and standards promulgated by government and by the industry. <br />This shall also include any road design standards which the county shall deem necessary to <br />provide adequate protection to the road, its safe operation, appearance and maintenance. <br />(Ord. 94-18 (part), 1994; Ord. 92-30 Exh. A § 4C, 1992. Formerly 12.20.150). <br />12.14.02.160 General conditions and requirements – Adjustment and relocation of <br />existing facilities. <br />1. Existing underground utilities on county road right-of-way may be removed or relocated <br />when road work funded by the county would disturb the existing underground utility. <br />All such removal or relocation shall be at the sole expense of the owning utility and all <br />work must be accomplished by the same permitting process as for new installations. <br />2. Notwithstanding reinforcement or protection otherwise provided, a permittee shall be <br />responsible for the security of each existing pipeline and utility within a road <br />construction zone. Where there are unusual utility hazards or where heavy construction <br />equipment will be used, the permittee shall provide adequate temporary protection. In <br />replacing the roadway, the design should give due consideration to the protection of <br />previously existing utilities in the roadway section without sacrificing the geometrics of <br />roadway design.
