The tentative map shall be prepared in a manner acceptable to the department and shall be prepared by a registered civil engineer or licensed land surveyor. The tentative map shall be clearly and legibly drawn and shall contain not less than the following:
A. A title which shall contain the subdivision number, subdivision name and type of subdivision.
B. Name and address of legal owner, subdivider and person preparing the map, including registration or license number.
C. Sufficient legal description to define the boundary of the proposed subdivision.
D. The names and numbers of adjacent subdivisions and names of owners of adjacent land.
E. Date, north arrow, scale, contour interval and source and date of existing contours.
F. A statement of present zoning and of existing and proposed uses of the property as well as any proposed zoning changes, whether immediate or future.
G. A vicinity map showing roads, adjoining subdivisions, creeks, railroads and other data sufficient to locate the proposed subdivision and show its relation to the community.
H. Existing topography of the proposed site and at least one hundred feet (100') beyond its boundary, including, but not limited to:
1. Existing contours at two foot (2') intervals if the existing ground slope is less than ten percent (10%) and at not less than five foot (5') intervals for existing ground slopes equal or greater than ten percent (10%). Contour intervals shall not be spread more than one hundred fifty feet (150') apart. Existing contours shall be represented by dashed lines or by screened lines.
2. Type, circumference and drip line of existing trees with a trunk diameter of four inches (4") or more. Any trees proposed to be removed shall be so indicated.
3. The location and outline of existing structures identified by type. Structures to be removed shall be so marked.
4. The approximate location of all areas of potential storm water overflow; the location, width and direction of flow of each watercourse; and the flood zone designation as indicated on the flood insurance rate map ("FIRM").
5. The location, pavement and right of way width, grade and name of existing streets or highways.
6. The widths, location and identity of all existing easements.
7. The location and size of existing sanitary sewers, fire hydrants, water mains and storm drains. The approximate slope of existing sewers and storm drains shall be indicated. The location of existing overhead utility lines on peripheral streets shall be indicated.
8. Proposed improvements to be shown shall include, but not be limited to:
a. The location, grade, centerline radius and arc length of curves, pavement, right of way width and name of all streets. Typical sections of all streets shall be shown. Proposed private streets shall be clearly indicated.
b. The location and radius of all curb returns and culs-de-sac.
c. The location, width and purpose of all easements.
d. The angle of intersecting streets if such angle deviates from a right angle by more than four degrees (4°).
e. The approximate lot layout and the approximate dimensions of each lot and each building site. Engineering data shall show the approximate finished grading of each lot, the preliminary design of all grading, the elevation of proposed building pads, the top and toe of cut and fill slopes to scale, the number of each lot, and the elevation of adjacent parcels.
f. Proposed contours at two foot (2') intervals shall be shown if the proposed ground slope is less than ten percent (10%) and not at less than five foot (5') intervals for proposed ground slopes of ten percent (10%) or more. A separate grading plan may be submitted.
g. Proposed recreation sites, trails and parks for private or public use.
h. Proposed common areas and areas to be dedicated to public open space.
i. The location and size of sanitary sewers, fire hydrants, water mains and storm drains. Proposed slopes and approximate elevations of sanitary sewers and storm drains shall be indicated. The proposed routing of storm water runoff generated by a 100-year flood shall also be indicated.
j. A statement as to the intention of the subdivider in regard to slope planting and erosion control.
k. The name or names of any geologist or soils engineer whose services were required in the preparation of the design of the tentative map.
l. The size of each sheet shall be eighteen inches by twenty six inches (18" x 26"). A marginal line shall be drawn completely around each sheet, leaving an entirely blank margin of one inch (1"). The scale of the map shall be not less than one inch equals one hundred feet (1" = 100') or as may be necessary to show all details clearly, and enough sheets shall be used to accomplish this end. The particular number of the sheet and the total number of sheets comprising the map shall be stated on each of the sheets, and its relation to each adjoining sheet shall be clearly shown. When four (4) or more sheets including the certificate sheet are used, a key sheet shall be included. All printing or lettering on the map shall be of one-eighth inch (1/8") minimum height and of such shape and weight as to be readily legible on prints and other reproductions made from the original drawings.
I. If the subdivider plans to develop the site in units or phases, the proposed units or phases and their proposed sequence of construction shall be shown.
J. The subdivider shall specify any deviation from city standards and the justification for such deviation.
K. Upon the written request of the subdivider, the department may waive any of the above tentative map requirements if the department determines that the type of subdivision does not justify compliance with these requirements, or if the department determines that other circumstances justify a waiver. The department may require other drawings, data or information as deemed necessary by the department to accomplish the purposes of the subdivision map act and this title. (Ord. 2481 § 1, 2002)
