   B.   Easements: Location, width, and purpose.
   C.   Streets On And Adjacent To Tract: Name and right of way; width and location; type, width and elevation of surfacing; any walks, curbs, gutters, culverts, etc.
   D.   Utilities On And Adjacent To Tract: Location, size and invert elevation of sanitary, storm, and combined sewer; location and size of water mains; location of gas lines, fire hydrants, electric and telephone poles, and streetlights. If water mains and sewers are not on or adjacent to the tract, indicate the direction, distance to, and size of nearest ones, showing invert elevation of sewers.

For land that slopes more than approximately two percent (2%) either show contours with an interval of not more than five feet (5') of ground slope which is regular and such information is sufficient for planning purposes, or show contour with an interval of not more than two feet (2') if necessary because of irregular land or need for more detailed data for preparing plans and construction drawings.
   F.   Subsurface Conditions On Tract: Location and results of soil percolation tests if individual sewerage disposal systems are proposed. Plans for septic tanks or private disposal systems shall be approved by the Jackson County health department and state department of public health.

   H.   Other Conditions On Adjacent Land: 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. For adjacent platted land refer to subdivision plat by name, recordation date, and number, and show approximate percent build up, average lot size, and dwelling type. This information shall be indicated for that adjoining land no less than one-fourth (1/4) mile from boundaries of proposed subdivision.
   I.   Photographs If Required By EAC: Camera location, directions of views and key numbers.
   J.   Zoning: On and adjacent to the tract.
   K.   Proposed Public Improvements: Highways or other major improvements planned by public authorities for future construction on or near the tract.
   L.   Key Map: Showing location of the tract in relation to other well known geographical features.

   N.   Preliminary Plat: Shall be at a scale of two hundred feet to one inch (200':1") or larger (preferred scale of 100 feet to 1 inch). It shall show all existing conditions required in subsection 15.8.4.2A of this chapter, topographic data, and shall show all proposals including the following:
      1.   Streets: Names; right of way and roadway widths; approximate grades and gradients; and similar data for alleys, if any.
      2.   Other rights of way or easements: location, width, and purpose.
      3.   Location of utilities, if not shown on other exhibits.
      4.   Lot lines, lot numbers and block numbers.
      5.   Sites, if any, to be reserved or dedicated for parks, playgrounds, or other public uses.
