The requirements of the following sections may be modified upon request in accordance with the provisions of Article VI.
The sketch plan information initially submitted to the Planning Board shall consist of a copy of the official Town Map (available at the office of the Town Clerk) showing the location of the entire tract which is proposed to be subdivided and a sketch of the entire tract at a scale of 200 feet or 400 feet to the inch (unless a smaller scale is needed to present the entire tract on one sheet) showing the following information:
A.
The location of the portion which is to be subdivided in relation to the entire tract, and the distance to the nearest existing street intersection.
B.
Within the portion to be subdivided and within 200 feet thereof, topography at ten-foot contour intervals, as well as all existing structures, wooded areas, ponds, streams, wetlands, and other significant physical features.
C.
The name of the owner and of all adjoining property owners.
D.
The kind of development proposed, including uses (such as residential, commercial, or mixed-use) and pattern (such as conventional, flexible lot, or hamlet cluster).
E.
All the utilities available and all streets which are either proposed, mapped, or built.
F.
The proposed layout of lots (including lot width and depth), road and driveway type and configuration, recreation areas, conservation easement areas, systems of drainage, sewerage, and water supply within the subdivided area.
G.
All existing restrictions on the use of land, such as easements, covenants, conservation easements, and zoning district boundaries (including stream corridor, agricultural preservation, floodplain, and other mapped overlay districts).
A.
In the case of minor subdivisions only, the subdivision plat application shall be clearly marked "final plat" and shall include all information required in § 202-31 above, as well as the following additional information:
(1)
A copy of conservation easements, covenants, or deed restrictions intended to cover all or part of the tract. Execution of such documents shall precede or be made a condition of plat approval.

In the case of a tract in which less than 50% of the land is to be platted for buildable lots, the Planning Board may waive the requirement of a field survey of that portion of the tract which is not to be so platted. For any partial flexible lot or cluster subdivision, the plat shall clearly show the total permitted lot count for the tract, the number of lots created by the plat, and the number of lots permitted to be platted in the future. This requirement may be waived if the Planning Board determines that a full lot count is not necessary due to the small number of lots in relation to the size of the entire parcel, provided that such determination is noted on the plat.

(12)
Preliminary designs of any bridges or culverts which may be required.
(13)
The proposed lot lines with approximate dimensions and area of each lot.

The subdivider shall submit copies of executed deeds, conservation easements, and such other agreements or documents as are necessary to show the manner in which such areas are to be owned, maintained, and preserved. For any partial flexible lot or cluster subdivision, the plat shall clearly show the total permitted lot count for the tract, the number of lots created by the plat, and the number of lots permitted to be platted in the future. This requirement may be waived if the Planning Board has determined that a full lot count is not necessary, provided that such determination is noted on the plat.

(11)
A map shall be submitted to the satisfaction of the Planning Board, indicating the location of monuments marking all underground utilities as actually installed. If the subdivider completes all required improvements according to § 202-17A(2) of this chapter, then such map shall be submitted prior to final approval of the subdivision plat. However, if the subdivider elects to provide a bond or certified check for all required improvements [as specified in § 202-17A(1)], such bond shall not be released until such a map is submitted in a form satisfactory to the Planning Board.
