American Datum - Mean Sea Level Elevation. Watercourses, wetlands,
marshes, rock outcrops, other significant features and soil boring
data at location and depths as may be required by the Planning Commission
shall be indicated. Waterways or man-made watercourses or drainageways

lots and setback lines.
(3) Areas other than streets, alleys, pedestrianways and easements intended
to be dedicated or reserved for public use; for each, the approximate
area in acres shall be indicated.

Letters shall not be used for identification of lots or blocks.
(5) Minimum front and side-street building lines, with dimensions indicated.
(6) Connectivity. All streets within the proposed subdivision shall have

and an even traffic flow pattern.
D. Protective covenants. All protective covenants for a proposed subdivision
shall accompany the preliminary plan, i.e., type of structures, architectural
controls, etc.
The subdivider shall file with the Village Clerk, within one
year after receipt of the certificate of review, 12 prints of the
preliminary plan for the proposed subdivision, with the required filing
fee as outlined in §
263-43. After identifying the file
number on all prints, the Village Clerk shall retain one print for
his/her file and transmit one print to the Village Engineer, one print
to the County Engineer, one print to the County Superintendent of
Schools, one print to the Township Highway Commissioner of Williams
Road District and the seven remaining prints to the Planning Commission.
It shall be the responsibility of the subdivider to provide the utility
company or companies serving the area with the necessary number of
prints.
The preliminary plan shall be reviewed by the Planning Commission.
In the event that the preliminary plan involves special problems or
is in conflict with the Comprehensive Plan, the Planning Commission
Chairman shall inform the owner or subdivider of said problems or
conflicts and shall advise him of the time and place for a hearing
before the Planning Commission.
No plan shall be approved for a subdivision which is subject
to periodic flooding or which contains extremely poor drainage facilities.
However, if the subdivider agrees to make improvements, which shall,
in the opinion of the Planning Commission and the Village Engineer,
make the area completely safe for residential occupancy and provide
adequate drainage, the preliminary plan of the subdivision may be
approved.
