(a) Utility Easements. Electric, telephone and cable TV lines shall be buried if located at the front of the lots. Easements along side or rear lot lines will normally be centered on the lot line and a minimum of sixteen feet wide. When located adjacent to property not owned by the subdivider, the subdivider will either secure an easement of appropriate width from the abutting property owner or take the entire easement width from the property being subdivided. Where a 50-foot street right-of-way exists and front lot utilities are proposed, a five foot utility easement shall be provided adjacent to the street right-of-way along each side. Where all non-village owned utilities are to be placed on one side of the street, a ten foot utility easement shall be provided on that side only. (Ord. 04-35. Passed 7-6-04.)
(b) Drainage Way Easements. Where a subdivision is traversed by a drainage way, a public easement conforming substantially with the lines of the drainage way shall be provided. The easement shall be twenty feet wide or of such further width as necessary to provide at least a ten-foot clear area along both sides of the pipe trench or top of bank for future maintenance access and shall generally follow side and rear lot lines.
(c) Sanitary Sewer Easements. A minimum width of twenty feet shall be provided. Where lines are exceptionally deep, additional width shall be provided, i.e., the minimum easement width shall be increased by two feet for every one foot increase in flow line depth below twelve feet.
