(A) Rear and side lot easements. Easement across lots or centered on rear or side lot lines shall be provided for utilities where necessary and shall be at least 12 feet wide, usually six feet dedicated from each lot or parcel, except side lot easements three feet wide granted for street lighting dropouts. These easements should be direct and continuous from block to block.
(B) Street lighting easements. Underground lines for the street lighting system within a subdivision shall be installed in easements which shall be provided in the plat and approved by the utility.
(C) Drainageway easements. Where a subdivision is traversed by a watercourse, drainage way, channel or stream, there shall be provided a storm water easement or drainage right-of-way conforming substantially with the lines of the watercourse and the further width for construction on both as will be adequate for the purpose and as shall be approved by the County Drain Commission and/or Township Engineer. (The drainage easement or land within a public easement for major power transmission lines shall not be considered a part of the minimum required lot area but shall be considered in computing density under the unit development plan.) Parallel streets or parkways may be required in connection therewith.
