The following shall be the required standards to be observed for the design of easements.
(A) Utilities. An easement for utilities may be required along side and/or rear property lines, or wherever necessary to form a continuous right-of-way. Easement location shall be determined by the affected utility.
(B) Slope/grading easement. Whenever a proposed development affects an existing or proposed road in such a way that present or future grading of such road’s full right-of-way width will necessitate cuts and fills in adjoining property, a slope/grading easement on such adjoining property shall be required.
(C) Storm water drainage easement. Wherever a development has a watercourse on it, a drainage easement shall be provided. This drainage easement shall have adequate width for workers to install, maintain, or repair drainage facilities with necessary equipment. When required for creeks or streams, such drainage easements shall be dedicated to the city or county and recorded on a plat. All requirements of Part II, Section F of the Stormwater Manual shall be met.
(D) Connection to existing easements. Where necessary, utility and drainage easements shall connect with written and recorded easements already established on adjoining properties.
