(B) Monuments and markers. Concrete monuments shall be set at the intersection of all lines forming angles in the boundary of the subdivision. Iron or steel markers shall be set at the beginning and ending of all curves along street property lines; at all points where lot lines intersect curves, either front or rear; at all angles in property lines of lots; and at all other lot corners.
(C) Streets. The streets shall be graded to the grades and dimensions shown on plans and profiles and approved by the Commission and shall include the following improvements.
(1) Suitable drainage structures, culverts, storm sewers, ditches, and related installations shall be provided to ensure adequate drainage of all points along the streets.

(3) Pavement shall be required on all streets and shall be of a material and thickness approved by the City Engineer in accordance with the latest Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction and Maintenance from the State Highway Commission.
(4) Street shoulders shall be constructed which are uniformly and thoroughly compacted by rolling and level with the tops of curbs.
(D) Storm drainage. The construction of a storm drainage system shall conform to the following requirements.
(1) Drainage ditches or channels shall have a minimum gradient of 1%.
(2) Open watercourses shall have adequate capacity and erosion control to ensure safe and healthful disposal of storm water.
(3) When top soil has been removed from the surface of a lot on a slope where erosion will cause a displacement of loose materials, the subdivider shall be required to seed or provide other means to prevent the wash from damaging adjacent property or accumulation on street surfaces.
(E) Water supply. Where public water supply is available, as determined by the Commission, the subdivider shall connect to such public water supply and construct a system of water mains with a connection for each lot.
(1) Where public water is not available, the subdivider shall supply acceptable evidence of the availability of water. The subdivider may be required to make one or more test wells in the area to be platted if such evidence is deemed not acceptable. Copies of well logs from said test wells that are obtained shall include the name and address of the well driller and shall be submitted with the plan to the Commission.

(F) Sewers. Where the municipal sewer system is reasonably accessible to the subdivision, the subdivider shall provide the subdivision with a complete sanitary sewer system to be connected to the municipal sanitary system. Where the municipal sewer system is not reasonably accessible to the subdivision and, in the judgement of the Commission, extension of the municipal sewage system to the subdivision will not take place in the foreseeable future, an approved package plant sewage disposal system serving the entire subdivision may be permitted, or if the soils and land area permit, private sewage disposal systems on individual lots consisting of septic tanks and tile absorption fields may be permitted.
