(9) Topographic contours at a minimum of two-foot intervals;
(10) All existing permanent features either natural or manmade that may influence the design of the subdivision, such as watercourses, tree groves, swamps, sewers, water mains, culverts, utility lines, and fire hydrants. Where underground utilities exist within or adjacent to the tract, the approximate location, size, and direction of flow, if applicable, shall be indicated;
(11) The location, width, and names of all existing or prior platted streets or other public ways, railroad and utility rights-of-way, parks and other public open spaces, permanent buildings and structures, permanent easements, and section and corporate lines on or within 200 feet of the subdivision;

(1) The delineation of the drainage area in which the subdivision is located; and
(2) The location of drainage courses or reaches within the drainage area.
(C) Drainage plan. A drainage plan in conformance with the county drainage regulations showing:
(1) Natural watercourses, marshes, and the like;
(2) Existing drainage facilities, culverts and the like; and
(3) The proposed drainage plan for the subdivision and analysis of existing drainage facilities to the nearest watercourse showing culverts, retention ponds, and the like.

This portion of the study shall include the distance to the nearest public sewer, its capacity and present load, and its capacity to handle the additional sewage load created by the subdivision. The same information shall be submitted for water supply;
(2) A study of the storm water drainage of the area showing a method of dispersion or retention and the adequacy of downstream facilities. This study shall give consideration to both water entering the subdivision from adjacent land and water within the boundaries of the subdivision; and
