The preliminary plat shall be drawn by hand or computer (Auto CAD current release) with waterproof nonfading black ink or legibly drawn with pencil on tracing cloth or tracing paper of good quality at a scale of 100 feet to an inch or approved scale by the Board and shall contain:

(6) 
The lengths and bearings of the exterior boundaries of the proposed plat by a professional land surveyor.[2]

The water elevation of adjoining rivers and streams at the date of the survey, the approximate high and low water elevations of such rivers and streams, and the floodway and floodplain lines of such rivers and streams. All elevations shall be referred to U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey datum as utilized by the Town.

At least two permanent bench marks shall be located in the immediate vicinity of the plat; the location of the bench marks shall be indicated on the plat, together with their elevations referenced to mean sea level datum and the monumentation of the bench marks clearly and completely described. Where, in the judgment of the Town Engineer, undo hardship would result because of the remoteness of the parcel from a mean sea level reference elevation, another datum may be used.
