(A) The accuracy of the location of alignments, boundaries and monuments shall be certified by a registered land surveyor licensed to do such work in the state. A professional execution of the design plan shall be made in every detail. A poorly drawn or illegible design plan is sufficient cause for rejection.
(B) The following data shall be submitted as part of the preliminary design plan submission:
(1) A drawing showing perimeter outline of the proposed subdivision, accesses, abutting subdivision outlines and names and other relevant information within the logical planning area of the subdivision as determined by the Planning Commission or its authorized representative;
(2) A traverse map of the monumented (see § 153.089) perimeter of the proposed subdivision. The traverse shall have an error of closure of not greater than one part in 10,000. Survey tie into a legal corner or other permanent marker established by the county is required;
(3) The existing contours at two-foot intervals for predominant ground slopes within the tract between level and 5% grade and five-foot contours for predominant ground slopes within the tract over 5% grade. Elevations shall be based on National Geodetic Survey sea level data. In cases of predominantly level topography throughout a subdivision, one-foot interval contours may be required;
(4) Lot and street layout;
(6) Total acreage of entire proposed subdivision;
(7) Lots and blocks numbered consecutively;
(8) Locations and identification of all existing and proposed public and private easements;
(9) Existing and proposed street names; proposed names must receive approval of the Planning Commission;
(10) Street profiles to show proposed grades;
(11) The plat shall be drawn to a scale not less than one inch equals 100 feet, and shall indicate the basis of bearings; true north point; name of subdivisions; name of county; name of municipality; township, range, section and quarter section; block and lot number of the property under consideration;
(12) General location in the subdivision area of trees over six inches in diameter, measured at four and one-half feet above the ground. In cases of heavily wooded areas, indication of the outline of the wooded area and location of trees which are to remain. It is the intent of this requirement to determine the approximate location of trees for design evaluation rather than to require unnecessary surveying of exact tree location;
(13) An affidavit (certificate for clear title) that the applicant is the owner, the equitable owner or authorized by the owner in writing to make an application for the land proposed to be subdivided;
(14) Sites, if any, to be reserved or dedicated for parks, playgrounds, schools or other public uses exclusive of single-family dwelling; and
(15) Location, function, ownership and manner of maintenance of common open space or non-buildable areas not otherwise reserved or dedicated for public use.
