Sec. 32-30. Easement planning.
A. Easements for utilities shall be provided as follows:
1. Where alleys are provided, four feet for aerial overhang on each side of alley shall be provided by dedication.
2. Along side lot lines: Six feet on each side of lot lines for distribution facilities and one foot on each side of lot lines for street lighting as may be designated.
3. Guy and anchor easements: One foot wide on each side of a lot line and approximately 35 feet in length measured from the rear lot line as designated.
4. Along both sides of all streets, adjacent to the right-of-way, an eight-foot public utility easement (PUE) shall be dedicated.
B. For lots facing on curvilinear streets, utility easements or alleys may consist of a series of straight lines with points of deflection not less than 120 feet apart. Points of deflection should always occur at the junction of side and rear lot lines on the side of the exterior angle. Curvilinear easements or alleys may be provided, providing that the minimum radius for the alley or easement shall be not less than 800 feet.
C. Where a stream or important surface drainage course abuts or crosses the tract, dedication of a public drainage easement of a width sufficient to permit widening, deepening, relocating, or protecting said watercourse shall be required. The minimum acceptable width of a public drainage easement is ten feet.
D. Land within a public street or drainage easement or land within a utility easement for major power transmission (tower) lines or pipelines shall not be considered a part of the minimum required lot area except where lots exceed one-half acre in area. This shall not be construed as applicable to land involved in utility easements for distribution or service purposes.
E. Lots arranged with the rear property line adjacent to major streets, railroads, canals, or commercial or industrial districts, as required in Sections 32-26(G) and (H), shall have a minimum lot depth of 110 feet, the rear one foot of which shall be recorded as a vehicular non-access easement.
