Easements across lots or centered on rear or side lot lines shall be provided for utilities and street lighting and drainage, where necessary, and shall be at least ten feet wide. The easement shall be so laid out that a proper continuity may be had from lot to lot and from block to block. In addition, due provisions for extension of easements to adjacent areas shall be made. Written approval of the utility easement layout by the public utility companies shall be required on the final plat. Where a subdivision is traversed by a water course, drainage way, channel, or stream, there shall be provided a storm water easement or drainage right-of-way conforming substantially with the lines of such water course, and such further width or construction or both as will be adequate for the purpose and approved by the Village Engineer. In addition to the ten-foot width (for purposes of gas, telephone, or electric lines) additional width may be required for drainage or other uses.
