IV as applicable:
(1) Street cross-section drawings for all proposed streets, showing depth and type of base, type of surface, etc. Cross-section drawings may be shown on either the preliminary plat or on separate profile sheets and shall show tentative profiles along the top of pavement edges or along the top of curbs for both sides of each proposed street. Such profiles shall show existing and proposed grades. Information as required by the State Department of Transportation shall be submitted. Such information shall be submitted to the Department of Transportation by the Administrator.
(2) Where deemed necessary by the Town Planning Commission, the Council, or the State Department of Transportation, a plan for the surface drainage of the tract to be subdivided shall be shown.

To prevent undue hardship in the case of extremely large properties, the Town Planning Commission may, based on existing natural or man-made features, delimit the area for which a prospective street system may be sketched.
E. The preliminary plat shall be accompanied by the following environmental protection analyses where applicable:
(1) Erosion and sediment control plans.
