larger, showing the relationship of the proposal to existing community
facilities that may affect or serve it, such as roads, shopping areas,
schools, etc., which map may be superimposed on a United States Geological
Survey Map; and a map drawn to a scale of 400 feet to the inch or
larger showing the lot for which the site plan is proposed and all
property lines and lots, subdivisions, street rights-of-way and easements
within 500 feet of the lot, which map may be based on the Property
Tax Assessment Map of the Town.

report, prepared by a licensed engineer recognized as a traffic engineer,
indicating the expected average daily vehicular trips and peak hour
volumes to be generated by all of the uses on the lot and the access
conditions at the lot, distribution of such traffic to be generated,
types of vehicles expected, effect upon the level of service on the
