A. 
The existing zoning and proposed use of the subdivision;
B. 
A preliminary soils report, prepared by a civil engineer registered in this state, and based upon adequate test borings.

The proposed source of water supply and method of sewage disposal;
H. 
The type and size of tree planting to be installed;
