Cross sections will be submitted upon request by the engineer of jurisdiction. All typical sections and major engineering details to be used on any particular road, street or alley shall be approved in advance by the engineer of jurisdiction or his representative before completion of the construction plans.
When the subdivider or developer submits, for approval, a construction plan for street improvements for a part of a proposed subdivision area, preliminary street grades and proposed drainage facilities for the entire subdivision area shall also be presented.
Where deemed desirable the engineer of jurisdiction or his representative may require the construction of improvements in or vacation of part or all of any intersection roads, streets or alleys in order to assure that no hardships of added expense be endured by abutting property owners or the local governing body at some future date.

The plan view shall show the proposed road, street or alley alignment, right-of-way and pavement widths, centerlines, bearing, stationing, curve or radius data, existing and proposed drainage. Any other significant feature or factor, shall also be shown on the plans. The centerline of road, street or alley construction shall coincide with the centerline of the right of way.
The profile view shall have a horizontal scale equal to the plan scale and a vertical scale of 1" = 5', or larger. The existing and proposed centerline profile, elevations, gradient, existing and proposed drainage lines and vertical curves shall be shown. The maximum street gradient shall be 0. 50%. Any change from same shall be with the approval of the engineer of jurisdiction or his representative. When establishing road, street or alley gradients, fullest consideration shall be given to the abutting property.
Vertical curves shall be used at all points on the gradient where the algebraic difference is one percent (1%) or greater. The minimum length of any vertical curve shall be 100 feet. The minimum non-passing sight distance shall be 200 feet on vertical curves.
