Preliminary subdivision plans shall be on sheet(s) no larger than 24-inches by 36-inches and prepared at a scale not smaller than one inch equals 100 feet. The entire project shall be displayed on a single sheet when possible. If more than two sheets are required, an index sheet must be included. Where information is required for items off-site, and access to such areas is not available to the registered surveyor preparing the preliminary plan, required information may be an approximate nature, based on an existing recorded plat(s) of surrounding parcels and must be so noted. Preliminary subdivision plans shall include the following:
(a) A location map showing the relationship of the proposed subdivision to the surrounding area.
(b) The name of the subdivision, the name and address of the developer, the name and registration number of the registered surveyor, a north arrow, scale, and date the plan was prepared.
(c) The location by section, range, and township or other surveys.
(d) Soils information, presented on a separate drawing, identical in scale to the preliminary plan. Street and lot layout shall be superimposed upon the soils information sheet. Data shall be derived from the United States Department of Agriculture Soil Survey.
(e) The current names and locations of all adjoining property owners and adjacent subdivisions within 150 feet of the proposed subdivision.
(f) The current zoning of the property to be subdivided and of the contiguous properties.
(g) The location and dimensions of all boundary lines of the property expressed in feet and decimals of a foot, and the approximate acreage of the land to be subdivided.
(h) The location of existing water bodies, streams, drainage ditches, stands of trees and trees with a diameter breast height (DBH) more than six inches in diameter, and other pertinent features within 500 feet of the proposed subdivision.
(i) The location, width, names, and classification of all existing and proposed streets, rights-of-way, and easements, and where pertinent, their designated use within 500 feet of the proposed subdivision.
(j) Approximate location of all existing buildings within 500 feet of the proposed subdivision.
(k) Location and illustration of existing storm and sanitary sewers, culverts, drainage tiles, water lines, gas lines, CATV, utility poles, and utility lines within and adjacent to the proposed subdivision.
(l) The location of all existing wells within 300 feet of the proposed subdivision.
(m) The approximate location, dimensions, and numbering of all proposed lots.
(n) The approximate location, dimensions, and area of all land proposed to be set aside for required parks and open space, and other public or private reservation, with designation of the purpose and proposed ownership and maintenance thereof.
(o) Topography with a maximum contour interval of two feet. Elevations shall be based on mean sea level datum obtained from benchmarks established by the NGS Control.
(p) Indication of the proposed use of any lots other than residential.
(q) Lots within the subdivision including future additions shall be numbered consecutively beginning with "one", and the total number of lots and their combined acreage shown on the plat.
(r) Preliminary proposals for connection to existing water supply and sanitary sewer systems and for the collection and discharge of surface water drainage including the location and size of existing and proposed water mains, sanitary sewers and drainage facilities.
(s) Delineation of the drainage areas involved, with a plan for draining the total upstream watershed through the development. The major storm routing path shall be delineated.
(t) The 100-year floodplain and floodway of any watercourse identified as having a flood hazard area and delineated on the most current flood insurance rate maps.
(u) Written indication from the Utility Plant Superintendent that capacity for both water and sanitary sewer service is available.
