(1) All highways, public roads or portions thereof, and parcels of land shown on the final short plat and intended for any public use shall be offered for dedication for public use except where the provisions of chapter 30.24 SCC provide otherwise.

(2) Public roads, or portions thereof, may be reserved by the county for future dedication where the immediate opening and improvement is not required, but where it is necessary to ensure that the county can later accept dedication when the public roads become needed due to traffic impacts of the short subdivision, together with expected impacts of reasonably foreseeable future development of the area or adjacent areas.

(3) Easements shall be dedicated and indicated on the face of the short plat in a form acceptable to the department. Easements for the purpose of serving the short subdivision and other property with utility services and granting the right to enter upon the lots, tracts and common areas at all times to install, lay, construct, renew, operate, and maintain underground conduit, cables, pipe, and wires with necessary facilities and other equipment shall be reserved for and granted to all utilities and to their respective successors and assigns, under and upon the exterior 10 feet parallel with and adjoining the street frontage of all lots, tracts and common areas. Easements for storm drainage sewers and other purposes shall be dedicated as appropriate. The department shall establish standard language for the establishment of such easements and shall make the standard language available with the submittal requirements checklists for final short subdivision approval.
