    D. 
    The Planning Board may require easements not exceeding 10 feet in width on each side of all rear lot lines and the side lot lines, where necessary, or, in the opinion of the Planning Board, it is advisable to install storm and sanitary sewers and other utility lines. Easements of the same or greater width may be required along the lines of or across lots where necessary for the extension of the existing or planned storm and sanitary sewers and other utility lines.

    All gas, water mains and telephone and electric lighting service lines necessary to provide these utilities shall be placed underground wherever possible, at the discretion of the Planning Board.

Before the final approval of a plat showing a new street, road or highway, such plat shall also, in proper cases, show a park or parks suitably located for playground or other recreation purposes. In cases where the Planning Board determines that a parksite cannot be properly located within the plat, in whole or in part, the subdivider shall be required to pay a park fee to the municipality equal in amount to the estimated purchase price of the parksite requirement not provided, as determined by the Planning Board, based on the value of such land at the time of the subdivision procedure. All such payments shall be held by the municipality in a special Park and Recreation Site Acquisition and Improvement Trust Fund, to be used either for the acquisition of sites that are properly located for neighborhood parks, playgrounds or recreational purposes or for the physical improvement of such sites, provided that the Planning Board shall find that the proposed sites or improvements are in accordance with the Master Plan and with any subsequent, more detailed development plans for the local area in which they are to be located.
