§ 154.230 BASEMENTS.
   (A)   An easement for utilities, at least five feet wide, shall be provided along each side of a side line of lots and along any other lot line as may be deemed necessary to form a continuous right-of-way, at least ten feet in width. If necessary for the extension of main water or sewer line or similar utilities, easements of greater width may be required along lot lines or across lots.
   (B)   Utility easements shall connect with easements established in adjoining properties. These easements, when approved, shall not thereafter be changed without the approval of the Council, by ordinance upon the recommendation of the Planning Commission.
   (C)   Additional easements for pole guys should be provided at the outside of turns. Where possible, lot lines shall be arranged to bisect the exterior angle so that pole guys will fall along side lot lines.
   (D)   Where a subdivision is traversed by a watercourse, drainage way, channel or stream, a storm water easement, drainage right-of-way or park dedication, whichever the Planning Commission may deem the most adequate, conforming substantially with the lines of the watercourses shall be provided, together with further width or construction, or both, as will be adequate for the storm water drainage of the area. The width of the easements shall be determined by the City Engineer.
