§ 152.048 EASEMENTS.
   (A)   (1)   An easement for utilities, at least 6 feet wide, shall be provided along each side of a side line of lots and/or the rear line of lots where necessary to form a continuous right-of-way, at least 12 feet in width.
      (2)   If necessary for the extension of main water or sewer lines 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 City 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 the side lot lines.
   (D)   (1)   Where a subdivision is traversed by a water course, 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 water courses shall be provided, together with the further width or instruction, or both, as will be adequate for the storm water drainage of the area.
      (2)   The size and location of the easements shall be recommended by the Planning Commission for action by the Council.
