6. Layout of lots, showing dimensions and numbers;

12. Other features or conditions which would affect the subdivision favorably or adversely; and
13. Scale*, north point and date. (*The preliminary plat of the subdivision shall be drawn to a scale of 50 feet to one inch, or 100 feet to one inch; provided, however, that, if the resulting drawing would be over 36 inches in shortest dimension, a scale as recommended by the Plat Committee may be used.)
(3) The application shall be accompanied by a certified check or money order in the amount of $1 for each lot in the proposed subdivision with a minimum total charge of $10 to cover the cost of checking and verifying the proposed plat, and such amount shall be deposited in the General Corporate Fund of the city.
(B) Preliminary plat approval. Within 60 days from the date of application for approval of a preliminary plat of a subdivision, or the filing by the applicant of the last item of required supporting date, whichever is later, the Plat Committee shall review the preliminary plat and give its approval or return the plat to the applicant with a written statement setting forth the reason for disapproval and specifying the particular aspects in which the plat fails to conform to the city ordinances. After a preliminary plat has been approved by the Plat Committee, the City Council shall accept or reject the plat within 30 days after its next stated regular meeting following the action of the Plat Committee.
