(2) The exact location and dedication of roads and rights-of-way, on or adjoining the site, including dedicated widths, roadway widths, and widths of pavements, name, and other pertinent data:
(a) All new proposed roads intersecting with existing public roadways shall be reviewed, and approved, by the County Engineer, for sight distance and proper drainage structures. The review may be established with an application for drainage structures in the county right-of-way; and
(b) All lots directly accessing an existing public road will have an approved driveway access, which may be obtained with an application for drainage structures in the county right-of-way.
(3) Easements showing locations, widths, and purposes, including utility easements, and the dedication thereof;
(4) Layout of lots, showing dimensions and numbers;
(5) True bearings and distances to the nearest established street bounds, or official monuments, which monuments shall be located, or accurately described, on the plat;

(D) A description of any protective covenants, or private restrictions, to be incorporated into the plat of the subdivision;
(E) A certificate by the owner of the land, executed before a notary public, that the owner certifies that the information contained on the plat is true and correct, that all requirements of this subchapter, including standards for development, have been, and will be, complied with, that all roads and easements shown on said plat are thereby dedicated to the public, and that lots or parcels transferred will have the size and area shown on the plat;
(F) A certificate by the engineer, or qualified surveyor, that the information contained on the plat is true and correct; and
(G) A certificate for approval by the County Board of Commissioners for a major subdivision, or a certificate for approval by the Subdivision Review Committee for a minor subdivision.
