      be granted for a purpose for which a franchise may be granted.
        b.   All revocable consents shall be revocable  at  any  time  by  the
      responsible agency, shall be granted for a fixed term, and shall provide
      for adequate compensation to be annually provided to the city during the
      continuance of the consent.
        c. Revocable consents, other than for telecommunications purposes, may
      be  granted by the department of transportation with respect to property
      under its jurisdiction or by such other agency as may be  authorized  by
      law   to   grant   revocable   consents.      Revocable   consents   for
      telecommunications  purposes  may  be  granted  by  the  department   of

      shall require the approval of the department of transportation.
        d.  Every petition for the grant of a revocable consent shall be filed
