To ensure a high quality, attractive development, where feasible, all utility infrastructure, including <br />but not limited to water, wastewater and electrical infrastructure, for the Project shall be placed <br />underground. All utility appurtenances that are required to be above ground may be placed <br />above ground as necessary to serve the development of the Property.
