Latest version.
All disturbance by a franchisee of pavement, sidewalk, driveways, landscaping or other
surfacing of streets shall be restored, repaired or replaced by the franchisee at
its sole cost in a manner approved by the director of public works and in compliance
with generally applicable ordinances of the agency vested with jurisdiction thereover,

private land of the property owner of aboveground boxes or appurtenances constituting
a part of the cable television system. Any disturbance of landscaping, fencing or
other improvements upon private property, including private property traversed by
easements or rights-of-way utilized by a franchisee, shall, at the sole expense of
the franchisee, be promptly repaired or restored (including replacement of such valuables

soon as possible. Each franchisee shall, through authorized representatives, make
a reasonable attempt to personally contact the occupants of all private property in
advance of entering such property for the purpose of commencing any installation of
elements of the system within easements or rights-of-way traversing such property.
As used in this paragraph, the terms "easements" and "rights-of-way" do not include
easements or rights-of-way for roadway purposes.
