(B) Content. The plat shall include the following:
(1) A title block containing the title of the survey (for example, minor subdivision plat), the purpose of the plat, the name and address of the owner(s) of the property/properties being subdivided, source of title, and the current tax block(s) and lot number(s) from the Property Valuation Administrator’s maps and records, the location of the land surveyed, and the name and address of the land surveyor or the surveying firm who prepared the plat and the date of preparation;

(4) The location, description, and coordinate values of all permanent monuments set at all points of change in direction of all exterior boundary lines of all lots in the subdivision.

(12) The location of solid blue line streams as designated on topographic maps published by the U.S. Geologic Survey;
(13) A key map showing the relative location (distance) of the proposed subdivision to the nearest existing arterial street intersection, nearest intersecting street created by record plat, or nearest commonly known street. The distance may be shown on the main body of the plat;

(15) All signatures shall be made in ink on all prints of the original plat being submitted;

(a) A copy of the deed(s) or other recorded document(s) originally creating the street which gives access to a recognized street;
(b) A statement by an attorney or title insurance company that a title examination reveals that such street has existed continuously since before June 17, 1954 for the benefit of the applicant’s property; and
(c) A statement by a surveyor or engineer that the street referred to in the deed(s) submitted and referred to in the legal opinion is the same as the street shown on the proposed plat as providing frontage to the resulting lots and access to a public street.
(C) If the total extent of the land to be shown on the plat cannot be shown at an appropriate scale on a single eight and one-half inch by 14 inch sheet and/or use of a residual statement is not possible, then the plat may be composed of two drawing sheets. If two drawing sheets are used, then each drawing sheet shall contain the appropriate match line(s) relating it to the other drawing sheet, each sheet shall contain a key or index map showing the entire site, each sheet shall bear the land surveyor’s signature and seal, and each sheet shall contain a certificate of approval.
