A written application for approval of the final plat of a subdivision, together with fourteen copies of the final plat, improvement plans, supplementary material and other exhibits required for approval as specified below, shall be submitted to the Planning Commission at least ten days prior to the date of the meeting at which it is to be considered.
(b) Contents Generally. The final plat of a subdivision shall contain all requirements stipulated in the preliminary plat as conditionally approved, and, if desired by the developer, may constitute only that portion of the preliminary plat which he or she proposes to record and develop at the time, provided, however, that such portion conforms to all the requirements of these Regulations.
(c) Specific Contents. Final plats, "As-Built" plans, and data prepared for final approval and recording shall include:

Where necessary, the plat may be on several sheets accompanied by an index sheet showing the entire subdivision at an appropriate scale. For large subdivisions the final plat may be submitted for approval progressively in contiguous sections satisfactory to the Planning Commission and the City Engineer. The final plat shall show the following:
A. Primary control points, approved by the City Engineer, or descriptions and "ties" to such control points, to which all dimensions, angles, bearings and similar data on the plat shall be referred;

Unless all of the improvements herein required in these Regulations have been installed, the clause reciting the approval of Council shall state clearly that the plat for record is approved by Council for record purposes only and that such approval does not constitute the acceptance for public use of any streets or other lands which the plat indicates shall be dedicated to such use.
