(A) Easements for utilities may be located along front, rear or side lot lines as necessary. Location of utility easements, including drainage ditches, within the road right-of-way shall be located outside of the improved portion of the roadway. Easements shall give access to every lot, park or public grounds. Such easements shall be a total of not less than 20 feet wide.
(B) Recommendations on the proposed layout of telephone, electric company and water line easements shall be sought from all of the utility companies serving the area. It shall be the responsibility of the sub-divider to submit copies of the preliminary plan to all appropriate public utility companies.
(C) (1) Easements shall be provided for storm drainage purposes. Such easements shall conform substantially with the lines of any natural watercourse, channels, streams or creeks which traverse the subdivision or for any new channel which is established to substitute for an existing natural watercourse, channel, stream or creek.
(2) Such easements shall be of sufficient width to provide adequate area for maintenance; however, shall not be less than 20 feet. Provision of easements in no way makes any political subdivision responsible for maintenance of storm water facilities.
(D) Utilities may be placed underground, according to the standards of the appropriate utility company.
(E) The location of mailboxes and similar structures in the right-of-way of a public or private street shall be constructed so as to not create a hazard to the public. The City Manager shall determine what constitutes a hazard.
