(a) Utility Easements. Public utility easements at least ten feet in total width may be required along the rear and sides of lots where needed for the accommodation of a public utility, drainage or sanitary structures or any combination of the foregoing. Where deemed necessary by the Planning Board and/or Council, an additional easement width shall be provided.
(b) Watercourses. The subdivider shall dedicate rights of way or provide easements for storm drainage purposes which conform substantially with the lines of any natural watercourses, channels, streams or creeks which traverse the subdivision or for any new channel which is established to substitute for a natural watercourse, channel, stream or creek. Such rights of way or easements shall be of a width which will provide for the maintenance needs of the channel and incidental structures as determined by the Planning Board.
