   (A)   Drainage. Where a subdivision is traversed by a watercourse, there shall be provided a drainage way, channel, or drainage right-of-way conforming substantially with the lines of such watercourse, together with such further width of construction of both, as will be adequate for stormwater runoff. All drainage easements shall be so identified on the plat.

   (C)   Utilities. Easements at least ten feet wide, centered on front and rear lot lines, shall be provided for all utilities. In residential areas, five feet wide easements shall be provided on the side lot lines. All easements shall have continuity of alignment from block to block.
