1. Before submission of the Preliminary Plan by the developer, maps and materials may be submitted by the developer to Hanover Township. This material will enable the municipality to determine the potential of the proposed subdivision or land development tract for development and the general acceptability and feasibility of the developer's plans for the tract. The predevelopment review submission will include the following maps and materials.
A. A key map, for the purpose of locating the property being subdivided or developed, drawn at a scale not smaller than 1 inch equals 1,000 feet and showing the relation of the property, as differentiated from adjoining property; and, all streets, roads, and municipal boundaries existing within 1 mile of any part of the property. The key map may be based on USGS quad sheet maps.
B. A map illustrating an analysis of natural drainage patterns and water resources within the proposed subdivision tract, including delineation of streams, natural drainage swales, ponds and lakes, wetlands, flood plains subject to a 100 year flood frequency, and permanent and seasonal high water table areas. The map shall be based on USGS quad sheets, County Soil Survey Maps, and the flood boundary and floodway map from the Township Flood Insurance Study, when available.
C. A map illustrating an analysis of types of soils present within the proposed subdivision tract. The map should include delineation of prime agricultural soil areas, soils with shallow depth to bedrock, soils most susceptible to erosion and high groundwater, soils most suitable for urban development, and soils generally suitable for on-lot sewage disposal. The map shall be based on the County Soil Survey.
D. A topographic map of the site, including a delineation of slope areas under 5%, between 5% and 15%, and over 15%. The topographic map shall be based on USGS quad sheets.
E. A map delineating additional significant physical features within the proposed subdivision tract, such as woodland areas, large trees, rock outcroppings and scenic views. The map shall be based on USGS quad sheets and on-site survey work.
F. Where feasible and legible, the analysis involved in §§ 22-300(1)(A) through 22-300(1)(E) may be illustrated on one or a combination of composite maps. The combined impact of the natural characteristics upon the development potential of the tract shall be clearly illustrated on the map or maps.
G. A letter or statement of intent and a sketch layout of the proposed subdivision or land development tract at a scale of 1 inch equals 100 feet explaining and illustrating the developer's general development concepts for the tract. The type of development, density of development, form of ownership, circulation patterns, and means of providing major utility service should be explained and illustrated. The sketch may be based on deed and tax map information.
