(2) Scale and north arrow.
(3) Dimensions and acreage of parcel to be built upon. For any site, the Planning Commission reserves the right to require that the site plan contain a boundary survey made and certified by a licensed surveyor. Such a requirement shall be based on factors such as the proximity of the development to neighboring properties and any recent divisions of the property.
(4) The size, shape, location and ground floor elevation of all existing and proposed buildings and other structures on the site including present and proposed use thereof.
(5) Location and dimensions of proposed off-street parking and loading facilities, and points of ingress and egress of vehicles to and from the site to the public street.

If the site is not to be served by a public sewer, the applicant shall show evidence that the Erie County Health Department has approved the proposed location and design of his or her septic system.
(4) Location of existing natural drainage ways and inverts of culverts, pipes, etc. when a potential negative impact on such drainage systems may be caused by the development.
