§ 60.227. Screening of Utilities and Refuse Containers.

(a)

Above Ground Utilities. Above ground utilities (including fuel tanks) over 8 square feet in size (height × width of the largest side of the utility equipment) shall be vegetatively screened. The vegetative screening shall be installed on at least 2 sides of the utility equipment, and located outside any fence as required by the Orlando Urban Stormwater Management Manual (OUSWMM) or Engineering Standards Manual (ESM). Access to utility equipment for maintenance, security surveillance or repairs shall be provided. Screening for utility service areas in the right-of-way shall be installed by the utility company or the person who installed the service. This requirement may be waived by the Zoning Official if screening will inhibit safety, accessibility and maintenance. Electric power poles, electric transformers, electric switchgear and traffic signal equipment shall be exempt from the screening requirement.

(b)

Refuse Containers. Front end loading refuse containers shall be screened according to Chapter 58.
