2. The name of the proposed subdivision; the name, address and phone of the subdivider; the name of the surveyor who prepared the plat;
3. The location of existing municipal boundaries at or near the subdivision;
4. The subdivision of lands within and immediately adjoining for a distance of 150 feet from the boundary of the proposed subdivision and the names, location and dimensions of all existing public streets, railways, watercourses or other such public or private easements and rights-of-way within the adjoining lands and proposed subdivision;
5. The existing and proposed zoning district classification under the village or the County Zoning Ordinance for adjoining lands and the land to be subdivided;
6. The names, location, dimensions, widths, bearings, curve data within the proposed subdivision of all proposed streets, alleys, construction routes, easements, parks, playgrounds and other open spaces proposed to be dedicated to the public use;
7. The blocks and/or lots into which the project is proposed to be subdivided, all dimensions thereof including but not limited to: width of each lot at the front line, length and location of building setback line, length of side lot lines, all lots consecutively numbered within consecutively numbered blocks; the purpose of each lot not dedicated to residential use; area of lots in square feet; and
8. All preliminary plats shall be at a scale not less than 100 feet to the inch and shall be complete with north arrow, date of preparation, and any other information or data that the village may require for full and complete consideration of the proposed preliminary plat for the subdivision.
(b) Preliminary engineering plan:
1. The length and bearing of external boundaries, including such curve data as radius, chord length and bearing, of the proposed subdivision, and the total acreage contained therein;
2. The name of the proposed subdivision; the name, address and phone number of the subdivider, developer and the name of the engineer who prepared the plan;
3. The character of lands within and immediately adjoining for a distance of 150 feet from the proposed subdivision boundaries, showing the subdivision thereof, if subdivided, and the location and dimensions of existing public streets, alleys, sanitary and storm sewers, culverts and drain tile, water supply mains, gas and/or petroleum pipelines, underground electrical and telephone lines, bridges, watercourses, railways, permanent historical features, park and school sites, public utility easements or other than dedicated properties, if any, identified as “existing” on the plan and shown in such a manner as to be differentiated from proposed improvements;
4. Existing ground contours at vertical intervals of not more than one-foot intervals based on the United States Geological Survey Datum (contours of two-foot intervals shall be allowed only when and if unusual topographic features limit plan clarity); environmental or distinguishing natural features, wetlands, trees of six inches or more in diameter measured two feet above the ground with common tree names; existing buildings and present use, bodies of water, with the elevation, if any, shown in such a manner as to be differentiated from proposed easements; and shall not be more than one year old at the time of submittal;
5. The existing and proposed zoning district classification under the Village Zoning Ordinance for adjoining lands and the land to be subdivided;
6. The names, locations, widths and other general dimensions of proposed streets, alleys, easements, parks, playgrounds, school sites and other open spaces proposed to be dedicated to the public use;
7. The blocks and lots into which the project is proposed to be subdivided, with dimensions, the numbering of all lots, the purpose and area in acreage of all lots not dedicated for residential use;
8. A general description of the type, kind, character, extent and location of all proposed improvements as proposed to be constructed or installed along with sufficient detail as may be required to convey the general basis of design for sewer, water and other improvements both onsite and offsite for the development of the subdivision according to this chapter;
9. A general description of the type, character, extent and location of all storm water runoff control facilities, including a summary of storm water control data, critical spot elevations normal and high water levels of all detention ponds, and location and elevation of all detention pond discharges;
10. Typical street cross-sections showing curbs, pavement width, sidewalks, bike paths width of right-of-way, street name and classification and general description of proposed street grades and drainage facilities;
11. The locations and elevations of all proposed berms and the elevations of all proposed and existing buildings’ top of foundations around the entire site perimeter;
12. All preliminary plans shall be at a scale not less than 100 feet to the inch and shall be complete with north arrow, legend and any other information or data that the Village Engineer or Planning Commission may require for full and complete consideration of the proposed preliminary plan for the subdivision;
13. A location map at a scale of not less than one inch equals 2,000 feet showing the relationship of the subdivision to its surroundings within one-half mile including section lines, primary and collector roads;
14. Proposed phasing of the development of the proposed subdivision, if any, and the corresponding phasing of any and all improvements thereof; and
15. A preliminary landscaping plan.
(c) Supporting documents:
1. Summary of all restrictions intended to be imposed by the final plat or by deeds of conveyance as to the use of all property within the subdivision, including area of buildings for residential use, if any;
2. Watershed maps such as USGS or NIPC hydrologic atlases, all applicable floodplain information such as the flood insurance rate map (FIRM) and flood insurance study published by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, onsite wetlands areas or any other pertinent watershed information;
