A preliminary plat shall be required for all subdivisions and
shall be based on a survey by a professional land surveyor and the
plat prepared on paper of good quality, as well as in a digital form
compatible with Village digital requirements, at a scale no smaller
than one inch equals 100 feet and shall show correctly on its face
the following information:
(a) The preliminary plat shall be clearly noted and labeled on its face
"Preliminary Plat."
(b) Inset map of the area concerned showing the general location of the
proposed subdivision in relation to U.S. Public Land Survey section
and quarter-section lines and abutting and nearby public streets and
highways. The inset map shall be oriented on the sheet in the same
direction as the main drawing.
(c) Description of the location of proposed subdivision by quarter section,
township, range, county, and state.
(d) Title or name under which the proposed subdivision is to be recorded.
Such title shall not be the same or similar to a previously approved
and recorded plat, unless it is an addition to a previously recorded
plat and is so stated on the plat.
(e) Date, graphic scale, and North arrow.
(f) Names and addresses of the owner, subdivider, and professional land
surveyor preparing the plat.
(g) The entire area contiguous to the proposed plat owned or controlled
by the subdivider shall be included on the preliminary plat even though
only a portion of said area is proposed for immediate development.
The Plan Commission may waive this requirement where it is deemed
unnecessary to fulfill the purposes and intent of this Ordinance and
undue hardship would result from strict application thereof.

In the absence of an adopted neighborhood unit development plan,
the following site analysis information shall be inventoried and mapped
at a scale no smaller than one inch equals 100 feet in sufficient
detail, with brief descriptions if necessary, to allow for the proper
evaluation of a preliminary plat. The site analysis map and accompanying
descriptions shall be included with the submittal of the preliminary
plat. The map(s) shall include:
(a) Existing and proposed lot lines and street and highway right-of-way
lines.
(b) Topographic features, including existing contours within the exterior
boundaries of the plat and extending to the centerline of adjacent
public streets or highways, with preferably one-foot intervals but
not more than two-foot intervals for slopes less than 12% and at no
more than five-foot intervals for slopes 12% and greater. Elevations
shall be marked on such contours, referenced to a vertical datum approved
by the Public Works Director. Any rock outcrops, slopes of 12% or
greater, ridge lines, and hilltops shall be noted.
(c) Hydrologic characteristics, including lakes, ponds, rivers, streams,
creeks, drainage ditches, wetlands, floodplains, shoreland areas,
