(A) Generally.
(1) Easements shall be provided for any overhead or underground utility service including, but not limited to, sanitary sewer, storm sewer, water, gas, telephone and electric. Such easements shall have a minimum width of 12 feet.
(2) Where it is intended that both overhead and underground utilities shall share the same easement, additional width sufficient to avoid conflict shall be provided. To the extent possible, easements shall be established along rear lot lines to provide continuity of alignment throughout the subdivision to be served. A letter of “approval of location” from all utility companies involved shall accompany the final plat.
(B) Drainage easements. When a subdivision is bordered or traversed by an established stream, established drainage way or channel, there shall be provided a storm water easement or drainage right-of-way confirming substantially with the lines of same, and such easement shall include an additional area of sufficient width to permit maintenance and any improvement or reconstruction of the stream, drainage way or channel in the foreseeable future.
