(A) Easements shall be provided for any surface, underground, or overground utility service, including storm water drainage, where necessary. They shall have a total width of ten feet and shall be established along rear lot lines and along such other lot lines as are required to provide continuity of alignment throughout the area served. When possible, five feet shall be taken from each of the two adjoining lots for the total ten-foot easement.
(B) When a subdivision is traversed or bounded 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. It shall include an additional area at least 15 feet wide adjoining both edges of the established flood plain area as certified by the subdivider or his engineer. Minimum floor elevations for structures may be required in areas which are or may become subject to flooding by surface water.
