The final plat shall be drawn with waterproof nonfading black ink, at a scale of not more than 100 feet to the inch, on Mylar or its equivalent, 17 inches wide by 22 inches long. When more than one sheet is used for any plat, each sheet shall be numbered consecutively and shall contain a notation giving the total number of sheets in the plat and showing the relation of that sheet to the other sheets, and each sheet shall bear the name of the subdivision. Each plat shall show correctly on its face the following information:
(A) Map and engineering information.
(1) Date, scale and north point;
(2) The exterior boundaries of the land surveyed and divided;
(3) All monuments erected, corners and other points established in the field in their proper places. The material of which the monuments, corners or other points are made shall be noted at the representation thereof or by legend, except that lot corners need not be shown. The legend for metal monuments shall indicate the diameter and length of the monuments;
(4) (a) The exact length and bearing of the exterior boundaries, the boundary lines of all blocks, public grounds, streets and alleys, and all lot lines, except that when the lines in any tier of lots are parallel, it shall be sufficient to make the bearings of the outer lines on one tier thereof.
(b) Easements shall be shown by centerline and width when lines are parallel to a boundary, otherwise boundary bearings and distances shall be shown. Where the exterior boundary lines show bearings or lengths which vary from those recorded in abutting plats or certified surveys, there shall be the following note placed along such lines, “recorded as (show recorded bearing or length or both)”;
(5) Blocks, if designated, shall be consecutively numbered, or lettered in alphabetical order. The blocks in numbered additions to subdivision bearing the same name shall be numbered or lettered consecutively through the several additions;
(6) All lots in each block shall be consecutively numbered. Out lots shall be lettered in alphabetical order. If blocks are numbered or lettered, out lots shall be lettered in alphabetical order within each block;
(7) The length of boundary lines of all streets, alleys, blocks, lots, parcels, public grounds, easements and rights-of-way or enough information so that the length of these lines can be derived by simple calculations. Where a boundary line is an arc of a circle, the length of the chord shall be shown;
(8) The widths of all streets, alleys, easements and rights-of-way;
(9) A graphic presentation of the minimum building setback lines on all lots and parcels and a notation of the distance between such lines and the street right-of-way line;
(10) The area of each lot or parcel containing an area of one acre or more;
(11) The words “Private Road” clearly marked on all streets shown on the plat which are not dedicated to public use;
(12) Abutting street lines of adjoining subdivisions, shown in their correct locations by dashed lines;
(13) The exact width of all easements, streets and alleys;
(14) All lake or stream shore meander lines established by the surveyor in accordance with division (D) below, the distance and bearings thereof and the distance between the point of intersection of such meander lines with lot lines and the ordinary high-water mark;
(15) The number of degrees and minutes in all exterior boundary and block angles. When such angles are between a curve and its tangent, the angle shown shall be that between the tangent and the main chord of the curve. When between curves of different radii, the angle between the main chord; and
(16) When strict compliance with a provision of this section will entail undue or unnecessary difficulty or tend to render the plat more difficult to read, and when the information on the plat is sufficient for the exact retracement of the measurements and bearings or other necessary dimensions, the Planning Commission, upon the recommendations of the Village Engineer, may waive such strict compliance.
(B) Name, location and position. The name of the subdivision shall be printed on the plat in prominent letters, and the following information relating to the position and location of the subdivision shall be shown thereof:
(1) The location of the subdivision by government lot recorded private claim, quarter section, section, township, range and county noted immediately under the name given the subdivision;
(2) The exact location of the subdivision, indicated by distances and bearings with reference to a corner or corners established in the United States Public Land Survey;
(3) The names of adjoining streets, State highways and subdivisions shown in their proper location; and
(4) Abutting street and state highway lines of adjoining plats shown in their proper location by dotted lines. The width of these streets and highways shall be given also.
(C) Roads and public spaces.
(1) The name of each road or street in the plat shall be printed therein in prominent letters;
(2) All lands dedicated to public use except roads and streets shall be clearly marked “Dedicated to the Public”;
(3) All roads or streets shown on the plat which are not dedicated to public use shall be clearly marked “Private Road”, or “Private Street” or “Private Way”; and
(4) Each lot within the plat must have access to a public or private street unless otherwise provided by local ordinance.
(D) Site conditions and topography.
(1) All existing buildings;
(2) All watercourses, drainage ditches and other existing features pertinent to proper subdivision;
(3) If a major water course lies adjacent to or transverses the property, it should be necessary for the registered engineer to submit cross-section, drainage easements, building setback lines and supporting calculations based upon 100-year flood history; and
(4) All other information required by the Illinois Plat Act.
