   (C)   Each final plat submitted to the city for approval must carry a deed of dedication in substantially the following form:
We, the undersigned, (Name), owners of the real estate shown and described herein, do hereby layoff, plat, and subdivide said real estate in accordance with the within plat. This subdivision will be known and designated as (Name). All streets and alleys and public open spaces shown, and not heretofore dedicated, are hereby dedicated to the public. Setbacks are hereby established as shown on this plat, between which lines and the property lines of the streets, there will be erected or maintained no building or structure. There are strips of ground, (Number) feet in width, as shown on this plat and marked `Easement` reserved for the use of public utilities for the installation of water and sewer mains, ducts, lines, and wires, subject at all times to the proper authorities and to the easement herein reserved. No permanent or other structures are to be erected or maintained upon said strips of land, but owners of lots in this subdivision will take their titles subject to the rights of the public utilities, and to the rights of the owners of other lots in this subdivision. (Additional dedications and protective covenants, or private restrictions, would be inserted here upon the subdivider's initiative or the recommendation of the Plan Commission or City Council; important provisions are those specifying the use to be made of the property and, in the case of residential use, the minimum habitable floor area.) The foregoing covenants (or restrictions) are to run with the land and will be binding on all parties and all persons claiming under them until January 1, 20 (twenty-five- year period is suggested); at which time, said covenants (or restrictions) will be automatically extended for successive periods of ten years unless indicated otherwise by negative vote of a majority of the then owners of the building sites covered by these covenants (or restrictions) in whole or in part, which said vote will be evidenced by a petition in writing signed by the owners and duly recorded. Invalidation of any one of the foregoing covenants (or restrictions) by judgment or court order will in no way affect any of the other various covenants or restrictions, which will remain in full force and effect. The right to enforce these provisions by injunction together with the right to cause the removal, by due process of law, of any structure or part thereof erected or maintained in violation thereof, is hereby dedicated to the public and reserved to the several owners of the several lots in this subdivision and to their heirs and assigns."
