General implementation plan submittal requirements. The purpose of the general implementation plan is to establish the intent, density, and intensity for a proposed development. The general implementation plan shall include the following:
(a) 
A general location map of suitable scale, but no less than one inch equals 200 feet, which shows the location of the property within the community and adjacent parcels including locations of any public streets, railroads, major streams or rivers and other major features within 1,000 feet of the site.
(b) 
A site inventory and analysis to identify site assets or resources, and constraints, including but not limited to floodplains, wetlands and soils classified as "poorly drained" or "very poorly drained," soils with bedrock at or within 42 inches of the surface, utility easements for high-tension electrical transmission lines (>69KV), steep slopes greater than 15%, and brownfields.
(c) 
A conceptual site plan, at a scale of no less than one inch equals 100 feet, which indicates topography in two-foot contours for sites with 15 feet or more of local relief, or one-foot contours for local sites with less than 15 feet of local relief, consisting of a map with proposed features and existing site features and uses that will remain. These features should include building outlines, location of streets, transit stops, drives and parking areas, pedestrian and bicycle paths, service access areas for receiving material and trash removal, and other impervious surfaces. The location of proposed and existing to remain trees and shrubs should also be included, along with any other significant features.
(d) 
A conceptual stormwater management plan identifying the proposed patterns of major stormwater runoff, locations of stormwater infiltration areas, and other significant stormwater best management practices.
(e) 
Identification of the architectural style(s) of the Traditional Neighborhood Development and the accompanying site design style(s). The design style of the Traditional Neighborhood Development shall be conveyed with drawings or computer simulations of typical proposed building elevations (including dimensions of building height and width, and facade treatment).
(f) 
A written report that provides general information about the covenants, conservation easements, or agreements which will influence the use and maintenance of the proposed development. The report shall also describe the site conditions and the development objectives.
(g) 
Any other information deemed necessary by the Village in order to evaluate plans.
(h) 
A copy of the above information shall be submitted plus a PDF and one reduced set no larger than 11 inches by 17 inches.
(4) 
Specific implementation plan. The purpose of the specific implementation plan is to establish a detailed development proposal. The specific implementation plan can be proposed, reviewed, and acted upon as whole or in part or phases. Following approval of the general implementation plan, the applicant shall submit a specific implementation plan to the Plan Commission.
(a) 
Within 30 days following receipt of the specific implementation plan, the Plan Commission shall receive a report from the municipal staff recommending approval, disapproval or approval with specified modifications. The Plan Commission shall determine that the proposed specific implementation plan is in substantial conformance with the approved general implementation plan. Upon due consideration, the Plan Commission shall recommend that the Village Board either:
[1] 
Approve the specific implementation plan as being in substantial conformance with the general implementation plan;
[2] 
Approve the specific implementation plan as being in substantial conformance with the general implementation plan with specified modifications; or
[3] 
Deny the specific implementation plan.
(b) 
Following Plan Commission recommendation, the Village Board shall receive the recommendation from the Plan Commission and the report from the municipal staff. Upon due consideration, the Village Board shall either:

Deny the specific implementation plan.
(5) 
Specific implementation plan submittal requirements. The applicant shall submit a series of plans, maps, and written materials which include the following information:
(a)
