(A) Easement width. An easement for utilities, at least 10 feet wide, shall be provided along the front and rear lot lines of each lot and an easement at least 5 feet wide shall be provided along each side lot line. 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. The size of the easement width may be adjusted upon approval of the North Mankato Planning Commission and North Mankato City Council during consideration of a final plat. Any adjustment of easement width must include a written request by the subdivision developer and all known utility companies serving the subdivision and the City of North Mankato.
(B) Easements, adjoining. Utility easements shall connect with easements established in adjoining properties. These easements, when approved, shall not thereafter be changed without the approval of the Council, by ordinance, upon the recommendation of the Planning Commission.
(C) Pole guys. 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) Additional easements. 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 such water courses 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 Planning Commission.
