shall be given.

required. However, a sketch plan must be submitted on sheets 22 inches
by 36 inches.
Preliminary plans shall be on sheets 22 inches by 36 inches. Where
necessary to avoid sheets larger than the size prescribed, preliminary
plans shall be drawn in two or more sections. The preliminary plans
shall be at a scale of not more than 100 feet to the inch.
Existing contours at vertical interval of five feet or, in the case
of relatively level tracts, at such lesser interval as may be necessary
for satisfactory study and planning of the tract. Datum to which contour
elevations refer shall be United States Coast and Geodetic Survey

marks.)

development; and the typical section of all streets.
Where applicable, a plan revision module for land development,
which shall be the responsibility of the applicant and shall be prepared
in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Pennsylvania Department
of Environmental Protection. The completed module shall accompany
the preliminary plan submission.
Final plans shall be on sheets 22 inches by 36 inches. Where necessary
to avoid sheets larger than the size prescribed, final plans shall
be drawn in two or more sections. The final plan shall be at a scale
of not more than 100 feet to the inch.
