A. All items in this section shall be shown on the map or plat of a development for both preliminary and final submittals.
1. Scale. All pertinent information shall be shown normally at a scale of one inch to one hundred feet; however, the scale may be increased or decreased to fit standard size sheets of eighteen inches by twenty-four inches. In all cases, the scale shall be a standard drafting scale, being ten, twenty, thirty, forty, fifty or sixty feet to the inch or multiples of ten for any one of these scales.
2. Appropriate identification of the drawing as a short plat, subdivision, preliminary, final, binding site plan and the name of the development. The name shall not duplicate or resemble the name of any other subdivision or short plat in the county unless the subject subdivision is contiguous to an existing subdivision under the same subdivision of the same last name filed.
3. The names and addresses of the owner(s) and surveyor or engineer.
4. The date, north point, and scale of the drawing.

7. The name and location of adjacent subdivisions and the location and layout of existing streets which are adjacent to or across contiguous right-of-way from the proposed development.
8. The location, approximate dimensions, and areas of lots, proposed lot and block numbers.
9. The lot area in square feet identified on each lot on the plat.
10. The location, approximate acreage, and dimensions of areas proposed for public use.
11. The location, approximate acreage, and dimensions of areas proposed for “open space” and/or common ownership.
12. The acreage of the development, acreage of rights-of-way or other dedications, and acreage of critical areas and buffers, and well locations within one hundred feet of project area.
13. Maximum residential density to be completed in the development.
14. Buildable area envelope for each lot (for residential developments).
15. Proposed housing type/form for each lot (for residential developments).
16. Existing contour lines at two-foot intervals based on NAVD ’88 Vertical Datum.
17. The approximate curve radii of any existing public street or road within the proposed development. The approximate location, width, names, and curve radii for all proposed streets.
18. Existing uses of the property and locations of all existing buildings and designating which existing buildings are to remain after completion of the proposed development.
19. The location of areas subject to inundation, overflows from stormwater facilities, and/or within a designated one-hundred-year floodplain, all areas covered by water, and the location, width and direction of flow of all water courses.
20. Locations of existing natural features such as rock outcroppings, which would affect the design of the development.
21. A vicinity map showing the location of the proposed development in relation to the rest of the city.
22. The locations and dimensions of proposed lots and the proposed lot and block numbers. Numbers shall be used to designate each block and lot. Where a plat is an addition to a plat previously recorded, numbers of blocks and lots or parcels shall be in consecutive continuation from a previous plat.
23. Locations and widths of streets and roads to be held for private use and all reservations or restrictions relating to such private roads.
24. Designation of any land the council may require held for public reserve and configuration of projected lots, blocks, streets and utility easements should the reserved land not be acquired.
