The preliminary plan shall be drawn at a standard engineering scale of not more than 100 feet to 1 inch. The maximum page size should not exceed 24 inches by 36 inches, if feasible. For the ease of reading and clearly showing detail on the preliminary plan, additional sheets may be necessary. The match lines shall follow lot lines or streets whenever possible. The preliminary plan shall contain the following information:
(A) Existing conditions.
(1) Project name, developer, project engineer or surveyor, their addresses and telephone numbers, legal description, date of plans and any revisions, scale of plan, and north point;
(2) Area vicinity map detailing project environs, current zoning, adjoining property owners, and streets within 1,000 feet of the project boundaries;
(3) Topography based on mean sea level elevation at a minimum 2-foot interval for the project and street lines within 1,000 feet of the project boundaries;
(4) The location of existing streams, lakes, ponds, watercourses, and other flood water runoff channels, the extent of the floodplain at the established 100-year flood elevation (regulatory floodway), and the limits of the floodway, all properly identified;
(5) The existing location of legal drains, surface and subsurface farm drains, inlets, and outfalls, easements that are visible or of record, existing seeps, springs, and wells that are visible or of record;
(6) Existing storm and sanitary sewers, inlets, outfalls, existing septic tank systems, treatment plants, outlets, wells and any other utilities;
(7) Existing structures;
(8) Identification of jurisdictional wetlands;
(9) Boundary and acreage of project site indicated by heavy solid lines based on a traverse with angular and linear dimensions; and
(10) Other significant conditions of the area proposed to be improved.
(B) Site improvements.
(1) Proposed changes in streams, lakes, swamps, detention basins, watercourses and flood water runoff channels, floodplains, and the limits of the floodway, all properly identified;
(2) Proposed size and location of legal drains, surface and subsurface drains, inlets, outfalls, and easements;
(3) Proposed size and location, materials, and gradients of storm and sanitary sewers, inlets and outfalls, on-site sanitary effluent disposal systems, water mains, fire hydrants, valves and location of affected utilities;
(4) Structures to be removed or relocated on the project site;
(5) The location and design including curves, grades, elevations and cross section of proposed streets, roads, sidewalks, culverts, bridges, parking lots, hard surface areas, including depressed pavements used to convey or temporarily store overflow from heavier rain storms, and outlets for the overflow;
(6) The cross section of existing streams and floodplains to be maintained or changed and new channels to be constructed where changes are proposed or discharge into receiving streams is altered;
(7) The drainage, erosion and sediment control measures to be implemented in accordance with the SDESCO;
(8) Landscape plan; and
(9) Signage plan.
(C) Supporting documentation.
(1) Engineering studies that reflect the additional traffic generated by the proposed project as related to the entrance details and improvements to the existing road network, including but not limited to, tapers, deceleration lanes, bypass blisters, traffic control devices and turning lanes at affected intersections. These studies must be in accordance with AASHTO, INDOT and the Town of Monrovia Engineer's requirements;
(2) An appropriate wetland mitigation plan for any development where jurisdictional wetlands will be adversely affected;
(3) Additional environmental studies for any development that contains possible contamination, endangered species;
(4) An environmental impact study for any development that due to unusual circumstances may affect the ecosystem of the Town of Monrovia; and
(5) Written letter of intent from the appropriate water utility stating that service will be provided by them to the project with the date of expected service commencement.
