(A) Location. All utility lines, including but not limited to, gas, electric power, telephone and CATV cable shall be located underground throughout the entire subdivision and all utility service connections shall be installed at the applicant’s expense to a property line of each platted lot.
(B) Easements.
(1) Easements shall be provided for public, quasi-public and private utilities. Such easements shall be at least ten feet wide on each side. The applicant shall establish all necessary coordination of proposed subdivision easements with existing adjoining easements with all applicable utility providers.
(2) Where topographical or other conditions make the inclusion of utilities along rear lot lines impractical, perpetual, unobstructed easements, at least 20 feet in width, shall be provided along side lot lines, with satisfactory access to either the road or rear lot lines.
(3) All easements shall be indicated on the submitted secondary plat and all plats shall contain a statement to the effect that all utility easements, as dedicated for use by the utilities on the face of the plat, shall be kept free of all other permanent structures, and the removal of any obstructions shall in no way obligate the utility company in damages or to restore the obstruction to its original form.
