In order to improve safety and appearance in any development requiring site plan review and approval under the provisions of this ordinance, all new utilities and services, including power, communication, and cable television lines and equipment, shall be installed underground, unless such installation is wholly impracticable. All installations shall be made in accordance with the rules and regulations of the appropriate municipal district and/or utility company. If the site includes a new road, all underground utility lines, except service connections, shall be located outside of the traveled way. If the utility lines will be located outside of the road right-of-way, the necessary easements for this purpose must be provided prior to the submission of the application for site plan approval.
