§ 16.28.170. Easements.

A.

Where the provisions of Section 16.32.010 have been modified and where an underground conduit system in public streets is not provided by the owner, easements of not less than six feet in width shall be provided within the subdivision for public utilities on each side of the rear lot lines, and along side lot lines where necessary.

B.

An additional easement for public utilities may be required at all rear line angle points. Easements for water mains shall be provided as required under subsection C of Section 16.32.010. Easements of lesser width may be permitted when approved by the planning commission and the serving utilities.

C.

The side lines of all easements shall be shown by fine dotted lines. If any easement already of record cannot be definitely located, a statement of the existence, the nature thereof and its recorded reference must appear on the title sheet. Distances and bearings on the side lines of lots which are cut by an easement must be arrowed or so shown that the map will indicate clearly the actual lengths of the lot lines. The widths of all easements and sufficient ties with which to locate the same with respect to the subdivision must be shown. All easements must be clearly labeled and identified; if an easement shown on the map is already of record, its recorded reference must be given. If an easement is being dedicated by the map, it shall be set out in the owner's certificate of dedication. All notes and figures pertaining to easements shall be considerably smaller and lighter than those relating to the subdivision itself. The city may require the subdivider to remove or trim any trees or brush lying within an easement right-of-way.
