(A) Public utilities. Where alleys are not provided, or where otherwise required by the present or future placement of public utilities, easements of not less than ten feet in width shall be granted by the owner along rear and where necessary, along side lot lines for public utility requirements. Except where prohibited by topography, such easements shall be centered on lot lines. Easements of greater width may be required along lot lines, or across lots when necessary for the placement and maintenance of utilities. No buildings or structures, except as necessary for utilities, shall be permitted on the easements.
(B) Easements along streams and watercourses. Whenever any stream or surface watercourse is located in an area that is being subdivided, the subdivider shall, at his or her own expense, make adequate provisions for the proper drainage of surface water and shall provide and dedicate to the city an easement along the stream or watercourse as necessary for the proper maintenance of the watercourse, and as approved by the city.
