A preliminary plat shall be prepared on paper of good quality, capable of clearly legible reproduction at a scale of not more than 100 feet to the inch and shall show correctly on its face the following information:
(1) 
Title under which the proposed subdivision is to be recorded.
(2) 
Location of the proposed subdivision by government lot, quarter-quarter section, township, range, county and state and a location map showing the relationship between the plat and its surrounding area and existing streets.
(3) 
Date, graphic scale and north point.
(4) 
Name, address and telephone number of the owner, subdivider, surveyor, engineer and the professional land planner involved in the plat preparation.
(5) 
The entire area contiguous to the proposed plat owned or controlled by the subdivider shall be included on the preliminary plat even though only a portion of such area is proposed for immediate development. The subdivider may elect to submit a development plan in lieu of a preliminary plat for that part of the land not to be included in the final plat, if the total contiguous area owned or controlled by the subdivider is greater than 80 acres.
(6) 
The present zoning and any proposed change for the plat and all lands adjacent thereto.
B. 
Plat data. All preliminary plats shall show the following:
(1) 
Exact length and bearing of the exterior boundaries of the proposed subdivision referenced to a corner established in the U.S. Public Land Survey, and the total acreage encompassed thereby.
(2) 
Contours at vertical intervals of not more than two feet where average slope is less than 5%, or five feet where slope is 5% or greater. Elevation shall be marked on such contours based upon USGS data where available and upon the best available data in all other cases.
(3) 
Water elevations of adjoining lakes and streams at the date of the survey and approximate high and low water elevations bases upon USGS data where available and upon the best available data in all other cases.
(4) 
Location, right-of-way width and names of all existing or proposed streets, alleys or other public ways; easements, Military Ridge Trail and utility rights-of-way; and all section and quarter-section lines within the exterior boundaries of the plat or immediately adjacent thereto.
(5) 
Location and names of adjacent subdivisions, parks and cemeteries and owners of record of abutting unplatted lands.
(6) 
Type, width and elevation of any existing street pavements within the exterior boundaries of the plat or immediately adjacent thereto, together with any legally established center line elevations, based upon or established by the best available data.
(7) 
Location, size and invert elevation of any existing sanitary or storm sewers, culverts and drain pipes; the location of manholes, catch basins, hydrants, power and telephone poles; and the location and size of any existing water and gas mains within the exterior boundaries of the plat or immediately adjacent thereto. If no sewers or water mains are located on or immediately adjacent to the tract, the nearest such sewers or water mains which might be extended to serve the tract shall be indicated by their directions and distance from the tract, size and invert elevations.
(8) 
Locations of all existing property boundary lines, structures, drives, streams and watercourses, lakes, marshes, rock outcrops, wooded areas, the Military Ridge Trail and other similar significant features within the tract being subdivided or immediately adjacent thereto.

Where required, the subdivider shall provide street, sanitary sewer, storm sewer, and water main plans and profiles showing existing ground surface of the proposed center lines, right-of-way lines and building setback lines, including extensions for a reasonable distance beyond the limits of the proposed subdivision. All elevations shall be based upon USGS data and profiles shall meet the approval of the Village Engineer.
D. 
Testing. The Village Engineer may require that borings and soundings be made in specific areas to ascertain subsurface soil, rock and water conditions, including depth to bedrock and depth to groundwater table.
E.
