(A) All proposed plats submitted for Commission approval under the provisions of this chapter shall allocate areas of suitable size and location, wherever necessary, for utility easements. As a general principle, such easements shall be centered on rear or side lot lines and shall be at least eight feet wide on both sides of the property lines. Easements shall be continuous to the street at the end of the block to connect with adjoining blocks in the shortest direct line.
(B) If any stream or necessary surface drainage course is located in said area proposed to be platted, then adequate areas shall be allocated along the sides of such stream or surface drainage course for widening, deepening, sloping, improving or protecting said stream or surface drainage course. (See § 155.061 of this chapter.)
