      (2)   A property line map, showing bearings and distances of the parcel to be subdivided; location, width and purpose of easements; the name, width and location of abutting streets, including location of pavements and sidewalks, and structures on the parcel and within twenty-five feet on adjoining properties.
      (3)   A topographic map, showing contours at two-foot intervals based on the County datum. It shall show approximate direction and gradient of ground slope on immediately adjacent land; indicate typical subsurface characteristics of the tract; show watercourses, marshes, wooded areas and other significant features. The topographic map may be compiled by photogrammetric methods and shall be at the same scale as the preliminary plan.

   (b)   Preliminary Plan. The preliminary plan shall be prepared in accordance with the planning principles set forth in Chapter 1127. The plan shall be accurately and clearly drawn at a scale of fifty feet to one inch. It may be drawn in pencil on transparent tracing paper. The drawing shall include topographic and property line data, the surrounding streets and lots, and the proposed plan or alternate plans of the subdivision, and show the following:
      (1)   Streets: the layout, right-of-way and pavement widths and names;
      (2)   Other rights of way: location, width and purpose;
      (3)   Lots: number and approximate dimensions;
      (4)   Sites to be reserved or dedicated for parks, playgrounds or other public uses;

   (e)   Modification. The Commission may modify or vary the strict application of the lot dimension requirements set forth in Sections 1127.05 and 1211.08 where the size, shape and topography restrict development, provided that the modification is within the intent and spirit of the subdivision regulations, and further provided that any modification will be set forth in the minutes of the Commission and made a condition of its approval.
