The sketch plan need not conform to any rigid standards; nevertheless,
it shall include sufficient data to enable the Commission to interpret
and give advice concerning the preliminary plat. It is recommended
that the sketch plan be a simple pencil sketch on a topographic survey
showing the proposed layout of streets, lots and other features in
relation to existing conditions. The sketch plan shall be prepared
by a person professionally trained to execute such a map, and five
copies shall be submitted to the Commission at least two weeks prior
to the meeting at which such plan is to be discussed.
A.
An application for preliminary approval shall be accompanied by a
preliminary plat of five clear black (or blue) line prints on white
paper at a scale of 100 feet to the inch. The preliminary plat should
contain all contiguous land owned by the subdivider, and any other
contiguous land which the subdivider proposes to acquire and develop
in the foreseeable future. However, at a minimum the plat must include
the total area for at least 300 feet beyond the limits of the subdivision
to show how the proposed subdivision will lay in the general area.
B.
The plat shall show all existing conditions and proposals, including
the following:
(1)
Streets: names, right-of-way, roadway and paving widths, approximate
grades and gradients; similar data for alleys, if any.
(2)
Other rights-of-way of easements; locations, widths, and purpose.
(3)
Location of utilities and drainage facilities.
(4)
Lot lines, lot numbers and block numbers.
(5)
Sites, if any, for multifamily dwellings, shopping centers, playgrounds,
or other public uses.
(6)
Sites, if any, to be reserved or dedicated for parks, playgrounds,
or other public uses.
(7)
Minimum building setback lines; indicated by dashed lines.
(8)
Site data, including total acres to be subdivided, number of residential
lots, typical lot size, and acres in parks and other community facilities.
(9)
Title, scale, North arrow, and other data, including a key to location
map.
(10)
Existing and proposed topography with a contour interval of
five feet or less referred to a standard government benchmark. Slopes
less than 5% average grade shall be represented by two-foot contours
plus spot elevations at critical points.
(11)
Names of abutting subdivisions and/or owners of contiguous property.
(12)
Any zoning districts affecting the property to be subdivided.
(13)
The title under which the proposed subdivision is to be recorded
and the name and address of the subdivider platting the tract and
the name of the land planner or landscape architect who prepared the
plat.
(14)
All surface runoff (drainage) entering the subject property
with computed flows based upon complete development of the watershed
and showing method of handling all water, preferably by drainage easements
acceptable to the Commission.
(15)
Profiles, at a horizontal scale of 100 feet to one inch or larger
and a vertical scale five times the horizontal scale, showing existing
and proposed center-line grades of existing and proposed streets.
(16)
Typical cross sections and construction details of proposed
street, drainage structures, and other proposed improvements.
(17)
Draft of proposed and existing protective covenants whereby
the subdivider proposes to regulate land use in the subdivision and
otherwise protect the proposed or existing development.
A.
The final plat shall be drawn in ink of indelible type or lettering
on tracing cloth, Mylar, Kronar, or comparable material on sheets
of size 18 inches by 24 inches, 24 inches by 36 inches, or 36 inches
by 42 inches at a scale of 100 feet to the inch from an accurate survey.
If more than two sheets are required, an index sheet of the same dimensions
shall be filed showing the entire subdivision on one sheet together
with all areas shown on the other sheets. One print of the total plat,
on cloth or Mylar or some other material which will result in a substantially
accurate and permanent print, and five legible paper prints or copies
shall be provided the Commission for distribution together with three
copies of any deed restrictions where these are too lengthy to be
shown on the plat, and three prints of certified plans showing the
improvements that have been constructed, within the subdivision, or
for which a bond has been submitted assuring construction of said
improvements or a dedication of covenants has been executed in accordance
with approved plans.
B.
The final plat shall show and include the following:
(1)
Right-of-way lines of streets, easements and other rights-of-way,
and property lines of residential lots and other sites, with accurate
dimensions, bearings and curve data. In general, the intention is
that sufficient engineering data be supplied to reproduce any line
on the ground.

Name and right-of-way widths of each street or other right-of-way.
(3)
Location, dimensions and purpose of any easement.
(4)
