It shall contain the following information:
   A.   Location And Description:
      1.   Name of the proposed subdivision which shall not duplicate the name of any plat heretofore recorded in Lee County.
      2.   Legal description of land proposed to be subdivided, by section, township and range, and other terms as used in describing such land on the records of the recorder of deeds, Lee County, Illinois.
      3.   Boundary lines of the proposed subdivision, including bearing and dimensions, as prepared and certified by a land surveyor registered in Illinois.
      4.   Total acreage, within the boundaries of the tract.
      5.   Names and addresses of the owner, owner of record (including the names and addresses of all beneficiaries of any land trust, accompanied by a certified copy of the trust agreement and all amendments thereto), the subdivider, the surveyor, the engineer and land planner who designed the plan.
      6.   Location and names of adjacent subdivisions and owners of adjoining parcels of unsubdivided land.
      7.   Date, scale and north point.
   B.   Existing Conditions (On And Within Two Hundred Feet Of The Tract):
      1.   Topographic data, including contours at vertical intervals of not more than two feet (2') with reference to USGS datum, except in unusual topographic conditions when such vertical intervals may be required to be altered as determined by the village engineer.
      2.   Soil types, as outlined by a soil scientist.
      3.   Other natural features such as source of water supply, watercourses (with highest flood levels indicated), marshes, ponds, springs, rock outcrop, wooded areas, isolated preservable trees six inches (6") or more in caliper at one foot (1') above ground level, and other features.

If water mains and sewers are not on or adjacent to the tract, indicated the direction and distance to and the size of the nearest usable facilities. (If requested, additional drawings, maps or photographs shall be submitted in order to accurately locate existing features.)

No land will be approved for subdivision which is subject to periodic flooding or which contains inadequate drainage facilities or other topographic and soil conditions which may increase danger to health or property, or aggravate erosion or flood hazard unless the subdivider agrees to make improvements which will, in the opinion of the village engineer and plan commission, make such land safe for development and occupancy.
