A. Utility Easements: Where alleys are not provided, easements not less than ten feet (10') wide shall be provided along each rear lot line, and along side lot lines where necessary, for use by public and private utilities. The planning commission may require aerial easements and easements of greater width for the extension of main storm and sanitary sewers and other utilities where it is deemed necessary.
B. Drainage Easements: Where a subdivision is traversed by a watercourse, drainage channel or stream, there shall be provided a right of way for drainage and public parks and public utility purposes adequate to contain all of the runoff from a 100-year maximum flood. The right of way shall include all of the land within the subdivision that has an elevation below the 100-year maximum flood elevation which shall be calculated in accordance with, and shall be adequate to provide for, the drainage requirements of the ordinances and regulations relating thereto. This shall not be interpreted as prohibiting the reclamation of lands subject to flooding by filling or by other appropriate means. (Ord. 65, 1-21-1980)
