12-3-4: EASEMENTS:
   A.   An easement for utilities at least six feet (6') wide shall be provided along the side line of lots, front line and/or rear line of lots where necessary to form a continuous right of way, at least twelve feet (12') in width. If necessary for the extension of water main 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 side lot lines.
   D.   Where a subdivision contains or is traversed by a watercourse, drainageway, channel, lake 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 such watercourses, shall be provided, together with such further width or construction, or both, as will be adequate for the storm water drainage of the area. The width of such easements shall be determined by the City Engineer. (Ord. 470, 2-18-1975)
