Easements for utilities and drainage shall have a minimum width of ten feet (10') on each lot with access available to all portions of said easement. Where a subdivision is traversed by a water course, there shall be provided a storm water easement or drainage right-of-way of a width sufficient for the purpose. No building or structure will be constructed within a minimum of twenty-five (25) feet of the top perimeter of any mutual drain. In the event the Plan Commission determines the above easement requests are not adequate or are excessive owing to special conditions related to the property being subdivided, then the Plan Commission may increase or decrease the easement request. No permanent or other structures shall be erected or maintained upon any easements, and owners of lots shall take their title to property subject to the rights of easements for public use.
