Approved 5-0. Regular Agenda F Approval of a preliminary plat of the River Bend Subdivision, Unit V, Phase II, a 13.21 acre tract in the David Wright Survey; and variances to the Subdivision Regulations/Ed Barry and Hildy Kingma Charles Steger, representing the Parker interests, asked that the City allow the developer to located lines on the back lot line instead of the front, due to the aesthetics and in concert with the other portions of the subdivisions. Briggs stated that Council approved a variance to place the original lines on Addie Lane overhead instead of underground. Lines placed behind the lot are more difficult to maintain, and to rebuild costs twice as much, a cost which all customers must bear. City policy is to allow the developer to place the lines underground if the developer is willing to bear the additional cost. Several subdivisions have been built underground in front, and have competed successfully in the market. Briggs noted that in cases where power lines are in back, the City has had more difficulty fixing lines and customers have consequently been without power for longer than absolutely necessary. Voltz noted that the subdivision regulations are intended to place lines in front -- above or underground --as a cost control measure. Motion by Voltz, second by Curl to approve the preliminary plat with the exception that the utility poles be placed in front, either overhead or underground. Approved 5-0.

Banks informed Council that the ordinance exempts the current franchisee until the franchise comes up for review. Under the FCC law, the existing franchise prevails for all items in conflict; the new regulations will prevail if the existing franchise is silent. Hart noted that it is unlikely another cable company will try to enter the Georgetown market, unless the FCC deregulates some phone services. This ordinance allows the City to "stake out" a position. The ordinance would allow the City to regulate satellite broadcasters such as Cablemax. Minutes of City Council Meeting October 26, 1993 Page 4 of 5 Pages Motion by McMaster, second by Tonn.
