• Location of the combined flood hazard areas and floodway, including elevations.
• Stamp and signature of surveyor
• Additional Information:
  • Zoning designations
  • Location, dimensions, and purpose of existing easements on and abutting the site

A surveyor must prepare plans and should include:

• Proposed lot lines, with dimensions
• Each lot must be labeled lot or parcel and assigned a number
• The square footage of each lot, tract, or right-of-way

• Existing development to remain and distance to proposed lot lines
• Existing and proposed services and utilities
• Proposed lot layout with sizes and dimensions
• Proposed lots identified and numbered; lots should be identified as follows:
  • "Lot" for 4 or more
  • "Parcel" for 3 or less
• Proposed tracts with area, dimensions, purpose, and name
• Proposed layout and widths of all rights-of-way including dimensions and roadway widths, including dedication along existing streets
• Proposed street and pedestrian connection improvements
• Proposed on-street parking
• Proposed location, dimensions, and purpose of all easements on and abutting the site
• Preliminary stormwater plan showing the capacity, type, and location of the stormwater facilities proposed and information on the feasibility of the system proposed. Stormwater reports/ calculations must be provided as necessary to demonstrate compliance with the Stormwater Management Manual
• Conceptual building footprints and driveways to demonstrate feasibility of providing services to the lots

If not depicted on the proposed improvements plan, provide a separate utility plan showing:

• Existing and proposed water and sewer service lines and stormwater management methods

 Identify all areas of clearing and grading. The plan must show the following:

• Existing contours and drainage patterns
• Existing drainageways, streams, springs, seeps, wetlands, and other water bodies
• Existing trees and vegetation
• Boundaries of Environmental, River Environmental, or Pleasant Valley Natural Resources Overlay Zones
• Proposed areas of clearing and grading for:
  • Rights-of-way
  • Services and utilities
  • Structures, such as retaining walls
• Proposed contours within areas to be cleared and graded
• Proposed stormwater and sedimentation control devices to be used during construction
• Proposed stockpile areas
• Proposed trees and vegetation to be preserved
• Proposed limit of disturbance and location and material of construction fencing
• Proposed amount (cubic yards) of soil to be disturbed, deposited, or removed from the site
• Proposed sq. footage of site to be cleared and/or graded
• Proposed structures necessary to construct streets or pedestrian connections

Existing tree map and preservation plan

• Surveyed location, species and size of all trees completely or partially on the site and within adjacent rights-of-way
• The approximate location, species and size of trees on adjacent sites, within 15 feet of proposed or future disturbance areas
• Tree numbers corresponding to the arborist report
• Identification of trees to be removed and trees to be preserved
• Tree protection meeting the requirements of Chapter 11.60 Technical Specifications
• Existing and proposed tree preservation tracts

Tree planting information

• Preliminary street tree planting plan
• If tree planting is proposed for mitigation, a planting plan showing mitigation and how the tree density standards (Chapter 11.50 Trees in Development Situations) will be met

Arborist report

• Evaluation of tree health and condition
• Identification of tree groves and Heritage Trees
• Identification of nuisance, dead, dying, and dangerous trees
• Evaluation of the suitability of each tree for preservation
• Identification of trees to be preserved, root protection zones and tree protection methods
• Construction management needs and recommendations for short or long-term tree care
• Identification of trees in adjacent rights-of-way or on adjacent sites that may be affected by the proposed development and recommendations for tree protection and methods to limit impacts
