Where the water and/or sewer services of a <br /> municipality, private association or water or <br /> sewer authority are to be extended within an <br /> Urban or a Transition Area to serve a proposed, <br /> development, that the location and width of <br /> utility easements be approved by the utility <br /> service provider that will eventually serve <br /> the area, and that the easements be dedicated <br /> in the form of a deed of easement to the <br /> utility service provider; <br /> c.
