All plans submitted for approval shall contain a drawing showing the location of the road and shall include all specifications and such other information as may be required by the Mayor or other authorized administrative official.
(B) The Mayor or authorized administrative official shall determine whether the proposed road or street will adversely affect the public safety, health, convenience and general welfare of the residents of the city and check to see if the plans are in compliance with the strict regulations applicable to all property located within the city and meet all state and county standards. Such review will include, but not be limited to drainage, alignment, paving, material, and so forth without limitation.
(C) In addition to all state, county, or federal requirements, the specifications set forth below shall be considered minimum standards, but may be increased depending on road location, traffic count, material standards, and so forth:
