In any case in which a developer installs or causes the installation of water, sewer, electrical power, telephone, or cable television facilities and intends that such facilities shall be owned, operated, or maintained by a public utility or any entity other than the developer, the developer shall transfer to such utility or entity the necessary ownership or easement rights to enable the utility or entity to operate and maintain such facilities.
(a) Utility Easements. Where utilities are not located in the street, easements of at least sixteen feet total width shall be located on the center of rear lot lines and on side lot lines where necessary.
(b) Drainage Easements. Where a subdivision or development is traversed by a drainage way, channel or stream, a storm water easement or drainage right-of-way conforming substantially with the lines of such watercourse shall be provided. The easement shall be twenty feet wide (exclusive of required lot area) or of such further width as is adequate for the purpose. Parallel rear lot lines may be required along such way.
