by existing conditions data. Such existing conditions data shall include
the following except when otherwise specified by the Planning Board:
A. Key plan showing location, including name of town or towns, and boundaries
of tract.

of easements; existing platting, if a resubdividing project, shall
be shown.
C. Streets on and adjacent to the tract, including all streets shown
on the Official Map, shall be shown. Street names and right-of-way
widths and locations, types, widths and elevations of surfacing, any
legally established center line elevations, walks, curbs, gutters,
bridges and culverts shall be shown.
D. Utilities on and adjacent to the tract location, including size and
invert elevation of sanitary, storm and combined sewers, location
and size of water mains, location of gas lines, fire hydrants, electric
and telephone poles, and streetlights, shall be shown. If water mains
and sewers are not on or adjacent to the tract, the direction, distance
to and size of the nearest water mains and sewers, showing invert
elevation of sewers, shall be indicated. Where drainage is to be to
a natural watercourse, lake, swamp, sink or roadside or drainage ditch,
the elevation of water in such watercourse or ditch at recognized
flood stage shall be shown. The Town Engineer will assist in determining
such recognized flood stage.
E. Ground elevations on the tract shall be based on USGS datum and the
OP bench system as approved by the Town Engineer. For land that slopes
less than approximately 2%, spot elevations at all breaks in grade,
along all drainage channels or swales and at selected points not more
than 100 feet apart in all directions shall be shown. For land that
slopes more than approximately 2%, either contours at an interval
of not more than five feet if ground slope is regular and such information
is sufficient for planning purposes or contours at an interval of
not more than two feet if necessary because of irregular land or need
for more detailed data for preparing plans and construction drawings
shall be shown.
F. Geotechnical soil borings are required to determine the subsurface
conditions on the tract. Location and results of test bores made to
ascertain subsurface soil, rock and groundwater conditions, depth
to groundwater, location and results of soil percolation tests, if
individual sewage disposal systems are proposed, shall be shown. Proposed
bore locations are to be submitted to the Town Engineer for approval
prior to the borings being performed.
G. Other existing conditions on the tract, such as watercourses, marshes,
rock outcrop, wooded areas, isolated preservable trees one foot or
more in diameter, houses, other buildings, and other significant features,
shall be shown.
H. Other conditions on adjacent lands, such as approximate direction
and gradient of ground slope, including any embankments or retaining
walls, character and location of buildings, railroads, power lines,
towers and other nearby nonresidential land uses or adverse influences,
owners of adjacent unplatted land, shall be shown. The submission
shall refer to the subdivision plat by name, recordation date and
number and show approximate percentage of buildup, typical lot size,
and dwelling type.
I. If photographs are required by the Planning Board and/or Town Engineer,
photographs shall be labeled with camera locations, directions of
view, and key numbers.

to the state system of plane coordinates established by Chapter 545
of the Laws of 1938, notations stating acreage, scale, North point,
datum, bench marks and date of survey shall be shown.
The preliminary plat and plans shall show all proposals, including
the following:
A. Streets with names, right-of-way and roadway widths, approximate
grades and gradients, similar data for alleys, if any.

D. Lot lines, lot numbers and block numbers.
E. Sites, if any, to be reserved or dedicated for parks, playgrounds
or other public uses.
F. Sites, if any, for multifamily dwellings, shopping centers, churches,
businesses or other nonpublic uses, exclusive of single-family dwellings.
G. Minimum building setback lines.
H. Site data, including number of residential lots, typical lot size,
and acres in parks, etc.
I. The plan shall include the subdivision name or title under which
to be eventually recorded, scale, North point, date, and name and
address of the subdivider and designer.
When required by the Planning Board, the subdivider
shall include with the preliminary plat data a draft of protective
covenants (deed restrictions) whereby the subdivider proposes to regulate
land use in the subdivision and otherwise protect the proposed development.
Restrictions of all types which will run with the land and which will
become covenants in the deeds of lots shall be shown on the Map Cover.
When required by the Planning Board, the subdivider
shall include with the preliminary plat the proposed zoning of the
subdivision if such zoning is different from existing zoning.
The final subdivision plat shall be clear and
legible prints on cloth, on a sheet size acceptable for filing as
a map cover in the County Clerk's office. The scale shall be a minimum
of 100 feet to the inch. Where necessary, the plat may be on several
sheets accompanied by an index sheet showing the entire subdivision.
For large subdivisions the final plat may be submitted for approval
progressively in contiguous sections satisfactory to the Planning
Board.
The final subdivision plat shall show the following:
A. Primary control points, approved by the Town Engineer,
or descriptions and ties to such control points to which all dimensions,
angles, bearings and similar data on the plat shall be referred.
B. Tract boundary lines, right-of-way lines of streets,
easements and other rights-of-way, and property lines of residential
lots and other sites, with accurate dimensions, bearings or deflection
angles, and radii, arcs and central angles of all curves.
