(6) A detailed description and statement of the purpose of the proposed activity;
(7) The location and number of trees of three-inch caliper or greater to be removed. (The caliper of a tree is its diameter at four and one-half feet above the ground.)
(8) Where the removal of material, placement of fill material or grading is proposed; and
(9) The amount and type of material to be removed or deposited;
(b) A permit application fee in an amount as set by resolution of the Village Council.

(2) The shape and dimensions of the lot or parcel, together with the existing and proposed locations of structures and improvements, if any;
(3) The location and extent of wetlands and watercourses as identified through field investigation and presented on a topographic map. The topographic map shall be at a scale of one inch equals 100 feet or larger and shall employ, at a minimum, a contour interval of two feet.
(4) The types of wetlands on the site, e.g. forested, shrub, emergent marsh, wet meadow and aquatic bed, identified by using methods approved by the Michigan Department of Natural Resources (MDNR) as set forth in the Michigan Wetland Determination Manual Draft for Field Testing and/or other official publications;

(11) Statements as to grade changes proposed and proposed drainage pattern changes for the lot or parcel and how such changes will affect these regulations; existing contour data for the entire property with a vertical contour interval of no more than two feet, and vertical contour data at an interval of no more than one foot for all areas to be disturbed by proposed operations, extending for a distance of at least fifty feet beyond the limits of such areas. Indicated elevations shall be based on United States Geological Survey datum.
(e) Minor projects, as defined by this chapter, shall be required to provide only the information set forth in paragraphs (a)(1), (2), (3), (4), (7), (8) and (9) and subsections (b) and (c) hereof, as well as a site plan, subdivision plat or planning map which overlays existing and proposed development or activity onto wetlands and watercourses. Existing and proposed structures shall be clearly identified in relation to existing wetland and watercourse features and topography.
