Ogdensburg City Zoning Code

§ 30-511

PUBLIC UTILITIES.

A. 
All public services shall be connected to an approved public utilities system where one exists. The developer shall arrange with the servicing utility for the installation of the distribution supply lines and service connections, in accordance with the provisions of the applicable standard terms and conditions incorporated as part of its tariff, as the same are on file with New Jersey State Board of Public Utility Commissioners; provided however, that lots which abut existing streets where overhead electric or telephone distribution supply lines and service connections have heretofore been installed may be supplied with electric and telephone service from these overhead lines, but any new service connections from the utilities' overhead lines shall be installed underground. In cases where extension of service is needed to existing buildings, the present method of service may be continued. In the case of existing overhead utilities, however, should a road widening or an extension of service or such other condition occur as a result of the development and necessitate the replacement or relocation of such utilities, the developer shall cause the replacement to be underground.
1. 
Upon submission of preliminary plats or plans for approval, the developer shall present a statement of intent, setting forth all public utility companies to serve the tract. All preliminary plats and plans shall show the location, size and capacity of all utility structures and facilities within 200 feet of the tract.
2. 
Prior to the commencement of construction, the developer shall furnish the Borough Clerk a copy of the agreement with the applicable public utility companies certifying the jurisdiction of the public utility company for the particular portion of the Borough; indicating agreement with the proposed utility installation design; and stating who will construct the facility so that service will be available prior to occupancy. The form of such agreement(s) shall be reviewed and approved by the Borough Attorney prior to the commencement of construction.
3. 
The developer shall provide the Borough with four copies of a final "as built" plan showing the installed location of the facilities.
B. 
Easements along property lines or elsewhere for utility installation may be required. Such easements shall be at least 20 feet wide and located in consultation with the companies or Borough departments concerned and, to the fullest extent possible, shall be centered on or adjacent to lot lines. Such easement dedication shall be expressed on the plat or plan as follows: "Utility right-of-way easement granted for the purposes provided for and expressed in the Land Development Regulations of the Borough of Ogdensburg."
