Greensboro Code of Ordinances § 7-63

in effect

Sec. 7-63. - Authority to construct. (a) Authorization to commence construction and application procedures. Within thirty (30) days after acceptance by the grantee of a franchise, the grantee shall apply for any needed contracts for pole use. Pole space and other facilities obtained from the city, utilities, and other lawful users of the public way shall be at the cost and expense of the grantee. Within thirty (30) days after completion of the make-ready survey identifying the routes of the system facility, the grantee shall apply for all additional licenses from the state, city, or other necessary parties, such as the railroads, for crossing under or over their property. In any event, all necessary applications for permits, licenses certificates and authorizations shall be applied for in a timely fashion so that such filing and processing shall not interfere with or cause delay with the construction schedule as outlined in the franchise. Failure to make such timely application and timely filing shall constitute a substantial violation of this chapter. (b) Power to contract. Upon grant of a franchise and in order to construct, rebuild, operate and maintain a cable system in the city, the grantee may enter into contracts with any public utility companies or any other owner or lessee of any poles or underground areas located within or without the city; obtain right-of-way permits from appropriate city, state, county, and federal officials necessary to cross or otherwise use highways or roads under their respective jurisdiction; obtain permission from the Federal Aviation Administration to erect and maintain antennas; and obtain whatever other permits a city, county, state or federal agency may require.
