However, distribution lines, power, telephone and others must be installed underground, and all gas meters must be located within three (3) feet of the building foundation if located within front yards in all subdivisions in which the final plat is approved by the Board of Aldermen after the passage of this Section.

Street trees may be planted by the subdivider in all streets in the subdivision that are designed such that the street trees will not, when fully grown, interfere with any sanitary sewer or waterline to be installed. Such trees shall be planted on both sides and not less than three (3) feet from the back of the ultimate curblines at intervals of from forty (40) to sixty (60) feet.
