A.
The sketch plan, inasmuch as it is not a formal requirement of this
Part 1, need not conform to any rigid standards; nevertheless, sufficient
data should be included so as to enable the Planning Commission to
interpret and give advice concerning the sketch plan.
B.
It is recommended that the sketch plan be a simple pencil sketch
on a topographic or other suitable base map or print thereof, showing
the proposed layout of streets, lots and other features in relation
to conditions in and around the subdivision.
C.
It is further recommended that the following data also be submitted
with the sketch plan: a location map showing the relationship of the
proposed subdivision to traffic arteries, public transportation, shopping
centers, schools and churches; existing and proposed covenants; utilities
available; number and size of residential lots; building types, size
and price range; proposed park, playground and school areas; proposed
commercial facilities, if any; and a time schedule if only part of
the subdivision is to be developed at one time.
An application for approval of a preliminary plat shall be accompanied
by the following documents:
A.
A preliminary plat on five clear black-line prints on white paper
at a scale of 100 feet to one inch, or larger, which shall include

future. The plat shall show all existing conditions and proposals,

B.
The final plat and any other maps shall conform to one of the following
sheet sizes: 18 inches by 24 inches; 24 inches by 36 inches; or 36
inches by 48 inches. Where necessary to avoid sheets larger than the
maximum, the final plat shall be shown on two or more sheets of uniform
size and shall include a key diagram showing the relative location
of the sections.

and shall contain the following data:

angles of all curves satisfactory to the Borough Engineer and sufficient
to reproduce such lines upon the ground.

and ties to such points, to which all dimensions, angles, bearings
and similar data on the plat shall be referred, and the location of
all existing and proposed monuments.
(5)
The boundary lines of a subdivision shall be determined by actual
ground survey only, said survey to be traversed, balanced and closed;
the total error of closure shall not exceed the linear ratio of one
to 5,000, and the allowable angular error of closure shall not exceed
30 seconds times the square root of the number of angles.
(6)
Names of record owners of adjoining unplatted land and record name,
date, index number, street and lot lines of adjacent subdivisions
to a minimum distance of 100 feet beyond the proposed subdivision
boundary.

slopes more than approximately 2%, either show contours with an interval
