Easements shall be established to accommodate the existence of natural and man-made drainageways as requested by the Township.
Where a tract is traversed by a watercourse, drainageway, channel or stream, there shall be provided an easement paralleling the line of such watercourse, drainageway, channel or stream with a width adequate to preserve the unimpeded flow of natural drainage in the one-hundred-year floodplain. The minimum easement width shall be 20 feet.
Easements shall be established for all on-site stormwater management or drainage facilities (except where the single-family residential exemption applies), including, but not limited to, detention facilities (above or below the ground), infiltration facilities, all stormwater BMPs, drainage swales, and drainage facilities (inlets, manholes, pipes, etc.).
Easements shall provide ingress to, and egress from, a public right-of-way. In lieu of providing an easement to the public right-of-way, a note may be added to the plan granting Peters Township or its designees access to all easements via the nearest public right-of-way able for vehicle ingress and egress on grades of less than 10% for carrying out inspection or maintenance activities.
Nothing shall be planted or placed within the easement which would adversely affect the function of the easement, or conflict with any conditions associated with such easement.
All easement agreements shall be recorded with a reference to the recorded easement indicated on the site plan. The format and content of the easement agreement shall be reviewed and approved by the Township and its Solicitor.
