§ 5-7. Easements.

Latest version.

(1)

Easements across lots or centered on rear or side lot lines shall be provided for utilities and drainage where necessary and shall not be less than ten feet wide total unless otherwise approved by the City Engineer and the Utility Board.

(2)

A minimum ten feet easement shall be provided on each side of the right-of-way for utilities.

(3)

Where a subdivision is traversed by a water course, drainage way, channel, stream or proposed drainageway, there shall be provided a storm drainage easement or right-of-way conforming substantially with the lines of such existing or planned drainageway. The width of such drainage easement or right-of-way shall be sufficient to contain the ultimate channel and maintenance way for the tributary area upstream.

(4)

Lots and easements shall be arranged in such a manner as to eliminate unnecessary easement jogs or off-sets and to facilitate the use of easement for power distribution, telephone service, drainage, water and sewer services.
