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, but not be limited to, the following:
1. A title which shall contain the subdivision number, and type of subdivision.
2. Name and address of legal owner, subdivider and person preparing the map, including registration or license number.
3. Sufficient legal description to define the boundary of the proposed subdivision.
4. The names and numbers of adjacent subdivisions and the names of owners of adjacent unplatted land.
5. Date, north arrow, scale, contour interval, and source and date of existing contours.
6. A statement of present land use designation(s) and of existing and proposed uses of the property.
7. A vicinity map showing roads, adjoining subdivisions, cities, creeks, railroads and other data sufficient to locate the proposed subdivision and show its relation to the community.
8. List the applicable agencies that provide service to the proposed subdivision (i.e., school district[s], gas, electric, water and sewer, telephone, cable TV, etc.).
9. Existing topography of the proposed subdivision site and at least 100 feet beyond its boundary including, but not limited to:
A. Existing contours at 1 foot intervals if the existing ground slope is less than 15% and at not less than 5 foot intervals for existing ground slopes equal or greater than 15%. Contour intervals shall not be spread more than 150 feet apart. Existing contours shall be represented by dashed lines or by screened lines.
B. Type, circumference and dripline of existing trees with a trunk diameter of four inches or more. Any trees proposed to be removed shall be so indicated.
C. The location and outline of existing structures identified by type. Structures to be removed shall be so marked.
D. The approximate location of all areas subject to inundation or storm water overflow; the location, width, and direction of flow of each water course; and the flood zone designation as indicated on the Flood Insurance Rate Map ("FIRM"), as defined in Chapter 19.16 (Flood Plain Overlay District) of this Development Code.
E. The location, pavement and right-of-way width, grade and name of all existing and proposed public or private streets or highways.
F. The widths, location and identity of all existing easements.
G. The location and size of existing wells, septic tanks, 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-site or on peripheral streets shall be indicated.
10. Proposed on-site and off-site improvements to be illustrated 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 cul-de-sacs.
C. The location, width and purpose of all easements.
D. The angle of intersecting streets if the angle deviates from a right angle by more than two degrees.
E. The proposed lot layout and the approximate dimensions of each lot and each building site. Engineering data shall show the proposed finished grading of each lot, the preliminary design of all grading, numeric estimate of grading activity relating to excavation and fill, the elevation of proposed building pads, the top and the toe of cut and fill slopes to scale, the number of each lot, and the elevation of adjacent parcels.
F. Proposed contours at one-foot intervals shall be shown if the existing ground slope is less than 15% and not at less than five-foot intervals for existing ground slopes of 15% or more. A separate grading plan may be required to be submitted.
G. Proposed recreation sites, bike paths, trails and parks for private or public use, which shall be indicated as lettered lots.
H. Proposed common areas and areas to be dedicated to public open space, which shall be indicated as lettered lots.
I. The location and size of proposed and existing sanitary sewers, fire hydrants, water mains and storm drains. Proposed slopes and approximate elevations of sanitary sewers and storm drains shall be indicated.
J. Any proposed locations and sizes of storm water runoff retention basins.
K. Subdivision improvements outside of the boundary including right-of-way, topography, and proposed work.
11. The name or names, state license number, address and telephone number, of any geologist and/or soils engineer whose services were required in the preparation of the tentative map.
12. The size of sheets shall be as required by the City Engineer. A marginal line shall be drawn completely around each sheet, leaving an entirely blank margin of one inch. The scale of the map shall be an engineering scale and of a size necessary to show all details clearly. All printing or lettering on the map shall be of 1/8 inch minimum height and of a shape and weight as to be readily legible on prints and other reproductions made from the original drawings.
13. 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.
14. Upon the written request of the subdivider, the Department may waive any of the above tentative map content 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 to accomplish the purposes of the Subdivision Map Act and this Development Code.
15. Names of all streets as approved by the Fire Department and the Department of Public Works/City Engineer.
