(A) When a subdivision is traversed by a waterway or intermittent stream, there shall be provided a storm water easement or drainage right-of-way conforming substantially with the lines of same, and such easement shall include an additional area at least 15 feet in width adjoining one edge of the waterway or intermittent stream that measures 20 feet or less from bank to bank. Where the distance from bank to bank is more than 20 feet such easement shall include an additional area at least 15 feet in width adjoining both edges of the waterway or intermittent stream. Where ditch drainage is used in lieu of storm sewers, as may be permitted herein, the easement shall be of sufficient width to allow future construction of a storm sewer main adequate to carry the ultimate runoff of the watershed. Such easement shall be not less than 20 feet in width.
(B) The 15 feet working area adjoining a stream shall be continuous through the subdivision and adjoin existing easements. The area of any public way immediately adjacent to the waterway or intermittent stream may be taken into consideration in providing said 15-foot working area.
