(m) If the subdivision is to be developed in increments, a statement to that effect shall be included.
(2) Topographical contour map. A topographical contour map showing accurately the existing watercourses terrain within the subdivision, existing drainage channels, roads, culverts, overhead and underground utility lines which may affect the design of the subdivision, wells and springs, major structures, irrigation ditches, utility poles and other improvements in their correct location. Elevation shall be referenced to current National Geodetic Survey data. The map shall be drawn to an engineer’s scale large enough to show all information clearly, but not smaller than 40 feet to the inch. Contour intervals shall not be greater than five feet or at such intervals that the contour lines will not be spread more than 150 feet apart (ground distance). The map shall show all of the following information, unless the information is waived by the Town Engineer or Planning Director:

(c) Location of existing property lines and approximate boundaries of existing easements within the subdivision with the names of the owners of record of easements, exclusions, the properties abutting subdivision;
(d) The proposed lot and street layout with scaled dimensions and area of each lot;
(e) The location of all proposed public easements;
(f) Street names, widths of streets, whether public or private, and easements, approximate street grades and radii of curves along property lines of each street;
(g) Typical cross-sections and profiles for streets showing pavement widths, curbs, sidewalks, grading and marginal strips, slopes of cuts and fills and other construction proposed;
(h) Dedications for public purposes and reservations and proposed disposition of all parcels and easements;
(i) Location, approximate grade, direction of flow and type of existing and proposed storm drainage channels, storm drains and retention and detention areas;
(j) Location, alignment and tops and bottoms of all banks of all natural drainage ways;
(k) Location of all existing and proposed utilities necessary to serve the subdivision;
(l) A vicinity map showing roads, adjoining subdivisions and other data sufficient to locate the proposed subdivision and show its relationship to community development;
(m) Boundary lines of existing land use zones (if more than one zoning exists on the property they shall be delineated);
(n) Statement or plan as to proposals for draining the areas subject to 100- and 250-year flooding or inundation by waters flowing into or from the subdivision;
(o) Preliminary grading plan;
(p) A map showing areas of property where evidence of known or possible archaeological site(s) are discerned;
(q) Map and statement indicating and describing any historical landmark;
(r) The net lot areas excluding access easements shall be calculated and shown on all maps;
(s) Location of rock outcroppings;
(t) Location of stands of trees;
(u) Species, trunk diameter and drip line of all trees 20 inches or more in circumference measured 24 inches above ground level and notation whether they will remain or be removed;
(v) Location of existing structures and notation whether they are to remain or be removed; and
(w) Location of geologic hazards.
