I hate to be contrary but, If the State/county/city has a building department that issues building permits and the State has adopted the NEC building code then it must follow the NEC Artical Part VI #551.71 as to how many, what size and where the pedestals are installed. If not they will not issue a permit and the power company will not hook up. It's just the way it works.
Very true and in addition, if even if not adopted, you better have a good explanation for why you didn't follow the code if there is an electrical fire.
NEC is standard industry practice so if you ignore it, expect to get nailed with negligence in the event of an issue.
