(A) Easements shall be provided for any surface, underground, or overhead utility service, including storm water drainage, where necessary. They shall have a width of fifteen feet (15') and shall be established along the rear of each lot and along the side or front lot lines where necessary. The easements shall be laid out with continuity from lot to lot and from block to block. No building shall be constructed upon the easements.
(B) When a subdivision is traversed or bounded by a watercourse, drainageway, 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. It shall include an additional area of at least fifteen feet (15') wide adjoining both edges of the established floodplain area as certified by the subdivider or his engineer. Minimum floor elevations for structures may be required in areas which are or may become subject to flooding by surface water. (Ord. 869, 11-5-2001)
