(A) Utility and drainage easements abutting public street rights-of-way and centered on rear or side lot lines shall be at least ten feet wide or wider as may be required by the city.
(B) Where a subdivision is traversed by a ponding area, watercourse, drainage way, channel or stream there shall be provided a storm water easement or drainage right-of-way conforming substantially with the lines of the water course, and the further width or construction, or both, as will be adequate for the purpose as determined by the city. The drainage or ponding easements shall be laid out and located in such a manner as to provide reasonable access for maintenance and dredging purposes without undue infringement upon the property over which access is taken.
(C) Trails or pedestrian ways shall be shown as trailways on the final plat or as separate easements as the city may direct.
(D) When double frontage or reverse frontage lots are incorporated in a plat, a planting screen easement of at least ten feet in width across which there shall be no right of access may be required along the line of lots abutting a traffic artery or other disadvantaged use. The easement would only be required where the planting screen would be at an elevation as related to the street or use so as to provide an effective screen.
