The maps and plans required by these regulations shall show the information and be prepared in accordance with the standards hereinafter specified. In accordance with the provisions of the General Statutes of the State of Connecticut which define "professional engineer" and "land surveyor" and which limit practice to the field of registration, all required maps and plans that involve the design of roads (both horizontal arid vertical alignment), drainage systems (including the design and location of structures and pipe), sanitary sewer systems, sewage disposal systems and water supply and distribution systems constitute professional engineering and as such must bear the name and seal of a Connecticut-licensed professional engineer; a land surveyor's seal or an architect's seal is not acceptable for this phase of land subdivision design work. Conversely, the phase of land subdivision, including all required maps and plans which relate to topography and the delineation of the boundary lines of the perimeter of the subdivision, as well as the interior lots and streets, constitutes land surveying within the meaning of the General Statutes and as such must bear the name and seal of Connecticut-licensed land surveyor; a professional engineer's seal or an architect's seal is not acceptable for this phase of land subdivision. Pertinent survey data and computations shall be presented to the Town Engineer for review if requested by him.

The site development plan shall be drawn on sheets 25 inches by 36 inches to a scale of one inch equals 40 feet but in no case less than one inch equals 100 feet. The plan shall show existing conditions, the proposed layout of lots, streets and improvements for the proposed subdivision and a tentative layout of all contiguous land of the applicant that may be subdivided in the future. The purpose of the plan is to allow the Commission to complete a general planning review of the proposed subdivision, including its relationship to the future subdivision of contiguous land of the applicant. Four blue line or black line prints shall be submitted.
