(6) 

The locations and widths of all proposed streets and of all existing streets (noting whether public or private) in and within 200 feet of the proposed subdivision.

(7) 

Proposed lot lines with approximate lot dimensions and areas.

(8) 

Location and size of all proposed and of any existing water mains, drainage systems, including culverts, drains and sewers, other underground utilities and sanitary sewers, if any. Direction of flow shall be shown for drains and sewers.

Where the preliminary layout covers only a part of the owner's entire holding, a sketch of the prospective future street system of the submitted part shall be furnished, and the street system of the submitted part will be considered by the Board in the light of adjustments and connections with future streets in the unsubmitted part.

B. 

Topographic map. The subdivider shall prepare and submit to the Board, with his application for conditional approval of the preliminary layout, a map showing the topography for the area covered by the proposed subdivision and such surrounding area as the Engineer may designate as necessary to determine drainage requirements.

(1) 

Contour interval. On the topographic map the contour interval shall be not more than five feet for land with a natural slope of 10% or greater and not greater than two feet for less steeply sloping land.

(2) 

Watercourses and drainage. The topographic map shall show existing watercourses, drainageways, streams and ponds.

(b) 

In appropriate cases and when approved by the Engineer as being sufficient for the particular situation, the Board may accept a reproduction, enlarged to the required scale, of the county topographic map in lieu of the above requirements. A map so prepared shall be properly identified, as required above, and shall bear an appropriate description of the method of reproduction. The Board may designate such of the above information as it will require the subdivider to show upon the reproduced map.
