Department of Conservation Bureau of Planning; Policy Statement Regardil~ Power and Utility Construction RESOLUTION # 737 For any Ou.tdoor Recreation -project receiving financial assistance under the Land and Hater Conservation Fund Act of 1965. the VILLAGE OF NEW BRIGHTON OF MINNESOTA agrees to the fOllowing nolicy statement: "It is recognizee, that electrical nower A..'1d communication services are en essent ial requirElment for the economical and effic ient o1)erption and main- tenance of ~ublic service facilities in state, county, and municipal Outdoor Recreat ion AreaG. Com!Tlunicat ion lines are necess/i',ry in the interest of ~ublic safety. It is our ~olicy in nlanning for these services to arrange and nrovide them with a minimum of intrusion on the natural features of the area. In order to accomplish this, the followi~g factor~ mu~t be g~ven every consideration: (1) Only thoce l1tilities necessary tor the public accommodations. maintenance and operation of an Outdoor Recroation Area shall be -permitted within the Area's limits. Utility lines extending through Area properties to private properties beyond shall be avoided and eliminated wherevp.r possible. (2) Every effort shall be made to ~rovide underground-tyPe servicec for all utilities where ~ractical. (3) \ihere underground construction of electric power lines is im- possible and pole structures are necessary, they shall be locatp,d so as to be thoroughly screened frOm Recreation Area roads and/or foot trails. "'wI'herever possible, overhead communication lines shall be combined with overhead structures to minimize the amount of clearing necessary to provide t~ese overhead utilities. In those instances where such overhead lines cannot be screened from the roadway right of way. they shall be so placed that they will blend with the backgroun&--that is, they will run along the tree-line where their intrusion would not be readily observable. In ouen prairie areas where overhead construction CWlnot be avoided, there will be every attempt made to utilize topogra~hical features to minimize the intru- sion of transmission line and pole structures. II In all concentrated use areas. tha.t is, ~icnic grounds, ca.ID")grounds. child.- ren's ca~~, beach and boating areas. all electric power service under 2.300 volts and all communication cables shall be underground between points of service and no overhead lines will be constructed."
