The preliminary plan of the development area shall indicate all uses proposed for the planned development area, the location and arrangement of uses and, unless waived by the Planning Commission as not being applicable, the following:

      (2)   The proposed vehicular and pedestrian traffic patterns, including the proposed location and design of public and private streets, the directional flow and location of existing and proposed storm and sanitary sewers and sewers connecting with existing or proposed Municipal interceptor, outlet or trunk sewers outside of the development area, the location and design of parking and service areas and an estimate of traffic volumes to be generated, including the assignment of traffic to proposed entrances and exits;
      (3)   The proposed assignment of use and subdivision of all land, including private land and common land, with a certificate by a registered engineer or surveyor of the gross area of each use of the development area in acres and square feet;

      (5)   The proposed forms of covenants running with the land, deed restrictions, including those with respect to the use of the common land, covenants, restrictions or easements proposed to be recorded, and covenants proposed for maintenance;
      (6)   A schedule for construction and cost estimates for the completion of the development, including all public and private improvements in the development area; and
      (7)   Such other relevant information as the Planning Commission may require.
   (b)    The preliminary plan of a development area, unless otherwise specified, shall be prepared by professional persons qualified in the planning of land development, traffic engineering and building and landscape design. The architectural and engineering services required for the preparation of the preliminary plan shall be rendered by licensed professional persons, and the landscape and area planning and design shall be provided by persons who only provide professional advice and services.
