Easements for utilities in a proposed subdivision shall be provided as follows:
(A) Where alleys are provided, four feet for aerial overhead on each side of alley shall be provided by dedication.
(B) Along side lot lines, six feet on each side of the side lot lines for distribution facilities and one foot on each side of the side lot lines for street lighting, as may be designated, shall be provided.
(C) Guy and anchor easements, one foot wide on each side of the side lot lines, or two feet wide on one side of the side lot line and approximately 35 feet in length measured from the rear lot line, as designated, shall be provided.
(D) For local streets with 40 feet of right-of-way, a six-foot utility easement on each side of the right-of-way shall be provided.
(E) For lots facing on curvilinear streets, utility easements or alleys may consist of a series of straight lines with points of deflection not less than 120 feet apart. Points of deflection should always occur at the junction of side and rear lot lines on the side of the exterior angle. Curvilinear easements of alleys may be provided, providing that the minimum radius for the alley or easement shall be not less than 800 feet except that 450 feet radii curves may be allowed where there are adequate provisions for utilities.
