A. Preparation. The primary plat shall be prepared by a licensed land surveyor at a convenient scale of not more than 100 feet to the inch, may be prepared in pen or pencil and the sheets shall be numbered in sequence if more than one sheet is used and shall be of such size as is acceptable for filing in the office of the County Recorder, but shall not be larger than 24 by 36 inches. (It should be noted that the map prepared for the primary plat may also be used for the final subdivision plat and, therefore, should be drawn on tracing cloth or reproducible Mylar; preparation in pencil will make required changes and additions easier).
B. Features. The primary plat shall show the following:
1. The location of the property with respect to surrounding property and streets, the names of all contiguous property owners of record, or the names of adjoining developments; and, the names of adjoining streets.
2. The location and dimensions of all boundary lines of the property to be expressed in feet and decimals of a foot.
3. The location of existing streets, easements, water bodies, streams, and other pertinent features such as swamps, flood plains, railroads, buildings, parks, cemeteries, drainage ditches, bridges, and topography (at the same scale as the advisory plat) within the boundaries of the plat.
4. The location and width of all existing and proposed streets, alleys, and other public ways and their rights-of-way, and of easements and building set-back lines, utilities, fire hydrants and storm water facilities.
5. The locations, dimensions, bearings and areas of all proposed or existing lots.
6. The location and dimensions of all property proposed to be set aside for park or playground use, or other public or private reservation, with designation of the purpose thereof, and conditions, if any, of the dedication or reservation. Reference is made to § 4.25 A., Public Spaces.
7. The name and address of the owner or owners of land to be subdivided, the name and address of the subdivider if other than the owner, and the name and registration number of the land surveyor.
8. The date of the map, approximate true north point, scale, and title of the subdivision.
9. Engineering drawings/plats should have sufficient data on them to provide the Planning Commission and other approval authorities a comprehensive idea as to the size of the subdivision and the infrastructure needed to serve it. A legend of markings on the engineering drawings should identify their purpose.
The subdivider shall not be required to show any specific interior tract or parcel sizes by letters or numbers when submitting any preliminary or final plat of a subdivision to be used solely for commercial or industrial purposes.
10. Names of the subdivision and all new streets subject to approval by the Commission.
11. Indication of the use of any lot (single- family, two-family, multi-family, townhouse) and all uses other than residential proposed by the subdivider.
12. For plats being developed in sections, a sectionalization plan that indicates compliance with § 4.13
(1980 Code, Ch. 154, § 3.03) (Ord. 2001-4, passed 3-27-2001; Am. Ord. 2020-31, passed 11-10-2020)
