The location of the nearest benchmark or monument. 8. The boundary of the proposed subdivision and the acreage included. 9. Boundary description and the area of the tract. 10. All property under the control of the subdivider, even though only a portion is being subdivided. Where the plat submitted covers only a part of the subdivider's tract, a sketch of the prospective street system of the unplatted parts of the sub dividers’ land shall be submitted, and the street system of the part submitted shall be considered in the light of existing master street plans or other Planning Commission studies. 11. The location, width and names of all existing streets within two hundred (200) feet of the subdivision and of all prior platted streets or other public ways, and utility right-of-ways, parks, and other public open spaces, permanent buildings and structures, houses or permanent easements and section and corporation lines, within adjacent to the tract. 12. The location of all wells, proposed, active and abandoned, and of all reservoirs within the tract and to a distance of at least one hundred (100) feet beyond the tract boundaries. 13. Existing sewers, water mains, culverts or other underground facilities within the tract and to a distance of at least one hundred (100) feet beyond the tract boundaries, indicating pipe sizes, grades, manholes and exact location. 14. The location, size, and type of sanitary and storm sewers, water mains, culverts and other surface or subsurface structures existing within or immediately adjacent to the proposed sanitary or storm sewers (a minimum distance of one hundred (100 feet), water mains, and storage facilities, street improvements, street lighting, curbs, and gutters, and all proposed utilities (may be shown only on the engineering plans). 15. Existing ditches, canals, natural drainage channels and open waterways, and proposed realignments. 16. The location of all drainage canals and structures, the proposed method of disposing of runoff water, and the location and size of all drainage easements relating thereto, whether they are located within or outside of the proposed plat. The approximate location, size and type of all irrigation ditches, channels, pipes, structures within and immediately adjacent, a minimum distance of one hundred (100) feet, to the proposed subdivision (may be shown only on the engineering plans). 17. Boundary lines of adjacent tracts of un-subdivided land, showing ownership where possible. 18. Contours at vertical intervals of not more than two (2) feet in standard subdivisions and not more than ten (10) feet in recreational subdivisions. High-water levels of all water courses, if any, shall be indicated in the same datum for contour elevations. D. Proposed Plan. The subdivision plan shall show: 1. The layout of streets, showing location, widths and other dimensions of (designated by actual or proposed names and numbers) proposed streets, crosswalks, alleys and easements. 2. Two ingress/egresses are required in a subdivision when there are 31 or more dwelling units or lots. a. The Planning Commission and Town Council may grant a special exception to allow a subdivision to have only one point of ingress/egress, after considering a recommendation from the Town Engineer and Fire Chief under the following circumstances: 1. One or more cul-de-sacs, hammerheads, or other approved turnarounds that comply with all development standards exits. 2. The future extension of a stub street that will provide additional access, where a temporary turn-around may be required. 3. The City Engineer has reviewed the potential for impairment of such single access resulting from vehicle congestion, condition of terrain, climatic conditions, safety, or other factors that could limit access and have made either a positive or negative recommendation to the Planning Commission or Town Council with regards to a single point of ingress/egress. 3. The layout, numbers and typical dimensions of lots. 4. Parcels of land intended to be dedicated or temporarily reserved for public use or set aside for use of property owners in the subdivision. 5.

Easements for water, sewers, drainage, utility lines and other purposes, if required by the Planning Commission. 8. The boundaries of record of the tract, area of the tract, the proposed location, approximate grade, right-of-way width and pavement width of streets and alleys, locations of sidewalks; the proposed location and width of easements and setback lines, proposed lot lines, the radii of all curves, lot size and approximate lot dimensions. 9. A contour map of the subdivision with contour lines and a maximum interval of five feet to show the configuration of the land based upon the United States Geodetic Survey data, or other data approved by the City engineer, 10. Typical street cross-sections and grade of streets where required by the Planning Commission. 11. A tentative plan or method by which the subdivider proposes to handle storm water drainage for the subdivision. 12. The direction of drainage, flow, and approximate grade of all streets (may be shown only on the engineering plans). 13. Where necessary, copies of any agreements with adjacent property owners relevant to the proposed subdivision shall be presented to the Planning Commission. 14. A plan that ensures that open space areas are adequately maintained. 15. For multi-phase developments, the proposed boundaries of each phase and the sequence of phases to be developed. The phasing sequence used should utilize consistent lot and block numbering patterns. 16. If a development is constructed in phases, each phase shall have not less than a pro-rata share of the amenities proposed for the entire project. Initial phases of a development shall include not less than a pro-rata share of the entire development’s proposed amenities, with initial phases having priority to such pro-rata share for amenities than subsequent for later phases of the development. 17. Corner lots shall contain a building envelope outside of a seventy-five (75’) foot radius from the intersection of the streets.
