(2) A boundary survey;
(3) Existing topography and proposed finished grade with a maximum two foot (2') contour interval;
(4) Floodplains, wetlands, and watercourses: These site features shall be based on best available record information and wetlands and watercourses shall be based on a delineation performed in accordance with US Army Corps of Engineers requirements in place at the time of application of this code. This delineation does not have to be approved by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers when the preliminary Development Plan is submitted but must have Corps’ approval with the submission of final Development Plans;
(5) Steep slopes: Steep slopes shall be those areas determined pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 1175.
(6) Isolated lands. Isolated land shall be any portion of the parcel that is separated from the remainder of the parcel by a slope exceeding 25%, a Ohio Environmental Protection Agency Category 2 or 3 wetland, a watercourse, or other feature that would not support a road and/or crossing under normal building standards and applicable state and federal permit requirements, thus rendering the isolated portion unbuildable under conventional development standards and applicable local, state, and federal codes;

Distinct woodland areas are distinguished from each other by significant differences in species mix, age, health, and soil type.
B. A memorandum describing the areas and outlining the reasons for the assigned classification.
C. A general description of underlying soil types, size and type of trees, their age and health, approximate life-expectancy, rarity of species, species diversity, species tolerance for construction, and the likelihood of long-term viability, shall be outlined for each area.
D. If applicable, the memorandum should include an assessment of existing working forest easements or Ohio Forest Tax Law enrollment in woodlands on the site, including a brief summary of existing forest management plans, and an assessment of the impact of proposed development on the working forest status and management.
(b) Preliminary Development Plan.
(1) The Existing Conditions Site Report.
(2) Proposed building locations, separations, and setbacks;
