(A) Utility easements. Easements centered on rear or side lot lines shall be provided for utilities where necessary and shall be at least 12 feet in width, or wider as required by the companies or agencies involved, e.g. telephone, gas, or electric power. A ten-foot wide utility easement shall be reserved for future public utilities along each side of all private streets.
(B) Drainage easements. Where a subdivision is traversed by a 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 such watercourse, and such further width or construction, or both, as will be adequate for the purpose. Parallel streets or frontage roads may be required in connection therewith.
(C) Public maintenance. Lakes, ponds, creeks, flood plains and similar areas will be accepted for maintenance by the town only if sufficient land is dedicated as a public recreation area or park or if such area constitutes a necessary part of the drainage control system. Such areas must be approved by the Planning Board before approval of the final plat.
