Existing contours must be shown through the proposed structures.
(A) For lots/parcels one acre or less in size, contours are required for the entire lot/parcel.
(B) For lots/parcels greater than one acre in size, contours are required one hundred feet (100') on each side of all proposed structures and all other areas of disturbance proposed for the lot/parcel, such as the driveway, accessory structures and yard areas.

3. Site Plan Certification: When a site plan is prepared by a licensed surveyor in conjunction with an architect, landscape architect, and/or engineer, the site plan must be certified by each of the professionals preparing the site plan for that portion of the plan that is their responsibility. The parcel/lot survey prepared and certified by the licensed surveyor, including topography may be submitted on a separate sheet from the site plan prepared by the architect, landscape architect, and/or engineer; however, all survey information from the parcel/lot survey shall be included on the site plan.
