§ 9.3. Activities not requiring encroachment permits.

1.

Overhead installation. A permit will not be required for aerial service connections from an existing line on county right-of-way unless it is anticipated that such connections will entail alterations for traffic flow.

2.

Underground installation. A permit will not be required for a service connection from a line on county right-of-way where the excavation is to be on the back slope of the ditch or swale. If the installation will involve undue interference with the normal flow of traffic, if drainage facilities or appurtenances are affected, or if a road crossing is involved, a permit will be necessary; provided, however, that the roads and bridges supervisor may approve a variance based on site conditions and good engineering practices.

3.

Maintenance. A permit will not be required for normal or emergency maintenance on overhead or underground facilities such as replacing poles, piping, cables, pedestals, markers, etc., unless such repairs will entail alterations of normal traffic flow. Normal maintenance which will entail replacement of more than 300 feet of underground line will require a permit. Repairs or replacements will conform to standards specified in section 9.2 and compaction standards set forth in article five of this ordinance.
