(1) A map or plat showing the general nature, location, and extent of the improvement and the land to be assessed for the payment of any part of the cost;

(4) An estimate of the cost of the improvement to the property benefitted;
(5) A recommendation of the method of assessment to be used to arrive at a fair apportionment of the whole or any portion of the cost of the improvement to the property benefitted thereby;
