by the most recent municipal tax records.

The preliminary plat shall be clearly and legibly drawn or reproduced at a scale of not less than one (1) inch equals one hundred (100) feet. Preliminary plats shall be designed and drawn by a licensed New Jersey land surveyor or by a planner holding full or associate membership in the American Institute of Planners. The plat shall be designed in compliance with the provisions of Article VII of this chapter and shall show or be accompanied by the following information:
A.
A key map showing the entire subdivision and its relation to surrounding

feasible connections to existing or any proposed utility systems.
When an individual water supply and/or sewage disposal system is proposed,
the plan for such system must be approved by the appropriate local,
county or state health agency. When a public sewage disposal system
is not available, the developer shall have percolation tests made
and submit the results with the preliminary plat. Any subdivision
or part thereof which does not meet the established requirements of
