CHAPTER 9
Section 9-301. UNDERGROUND INSTALLATION OF CERTAIN ELECTRIC AND
COMMUNICATION LINES. All new electric distribution lines (excluding main line feeders and
high-voltage transmission lines), new electric services, and new telephone service lines constructed
within the confines of and providing service to customers in the following areas shall hereafter be
buried underground:
a. New single and two-family (R-1 and R-2) dwelling subdivisions consisting of eight lots
or more;
b. New multiple family dwelling (R-3 through R-7) complexes consisting of seven or more
dwelling units;
c. New industrial and commercial (I-1, I-2, C-1, C-1A, and C-2) developments of any
magnitude.
The owner or owners of such above described developments shall submit to the City of
Brooklyn Center a written instrument from the utilities companies showing that the necessary
arrangements have been made with the utilities involved for the installation of underground
facilities. Easements shall be provided to the utilities for the installation of such facilities. If lines
are to be installed underground in public rights-of-way, the location thereof shall be approved by
the city engineer.
Section 9-302. EXCEPTIONS. The city council, after study and recommendation by the
planning commission, may provide for exceptions from the requirements of Section 9-301, if it is
found that:
a. The placing of utilities underground would not be compatible with the development
which is planned; or
b. Topographical, soil, or other conditions make the underground installation unreasonable
or impractical.
Section 9-303. PENALTIES. Any person, firm or corporation who shall fail to comply with
the provisions of this ordinance shall, upon conviction thereof by lawful authority, be punished by a
fine not to exceed one thousand ($1,000) dollars or imprisonment not to exceed ninety (90) days or
