Applications shall be accompanied by the following information:
(A) Except for large acreage parcels (equal to or greater than 40 acres) that can be adequately described in reference to section or quarter section lines, three copies of a drawing shall be submitted, which may be an informal scale drawing (such as a tentative parcel map referred to in § 109(1)(a) of Public Act 288 of 1967, being M.C.L.A. §§ 560.101—560.293, as amended), which shall include all information listed below. A tentative decision may be made based on this informal scale drawing, with final approval withheld until receipt of a formal drawing prepared by a professional land surveyor registered in the State of Michigan. The final drawing shall be prepared according to the guidelines specified in § 3 of Michigan Public Act 132 of 1970, as amended, showing the parcels that would result from the requested division of land, provided that the parcels are drawn as large as possible within the eight and one-half-inch by 14-inch format required by Act 132, and providing all of the following information:
(Ord. rev. 4-1-1997)
(1) Dimensions of all existing and proposed parcels;

(3) Location of all existing and proposed public and private easements and rights-of-way;
(4) Location of minimum setbacks on each proposed parcel, in accordance with Chapter 156 of this code;
(5) Location of surface water, lakes, ponds, streams and wetlands. The initial investigation shall locate wetlands identified on the National Wetlands Inventory maps, prepared by the U.S. Department of Interior and available from the Michigan Department of Natural Resources. After subsequent investigation and on-site review, the Township Assessor or other reviewing body may require more detailed wetlands information if deemed necessary to make a decision regarding the proposed division of land; and
(6) The means of access from each resulting parcel to an existing road or street.
(Ord. rev. 4-1-1997)
(B) A legal description of existing parcels of land involved in the proposed land division;

The legal description shall be in a form sufficient for recording with the Ingham County Register of Deeds, and shall indicate the acreage of all parcels;
(D) Copies of existing or proposed deed restrictions related to the proposed parcels;
(E) Sufficient information about previous land division activity to demonstrate that the parcel is eligible to be divided in the manner being proposed;
(Ord. rev. 4-1-1997)
