The subdivider shall submit an original and ten copies of the minor subdivision map, drawn to scale and fully dimensioned on paper measuring eight and one-half by 11 inches to the Public Works Director; along with such application forms and additional materials as may be required by the Minor Subdivision Committee. The map shall contain the following information:

a.Map number as supplied by the Public Works Department.

b.Date, north point and scale.

c.Sufficient legal description of land to define boundaries or proposed division of land.

d.A key map indicating the location of the proposed division of land in relation to the surrounding area.

e.The name and address of the record owner, the subdivider and the civil engineer, licensed surveyor or other person under whose direction the map was prepared, including the registration number of the engineer or surveyor.

f.The approximate location and outline to scale of each building or structure on the property proposed for division. Buildings or structures on adjacent property shall also be shown if such buildings or structures affect the design of the proposed subdivision. Each building shown shall be identified by house number or other identifying feature, including a notation of each building or structure to be retained.

g.The approximate location of each area covered by trees with a statement of the nature of the cover and the kind and approximate location of all trees standing within the boundaries of proposed public rights-of-way.

h.The location and width of all existing and proposed streets and highways within and adjacent to the proposed subdivision.

i.The width, purpose, and approximate location of all existing and proposed easements or rights-of-way, whether public or private, within and adjacent to the proposed subdivision.

j.The approximate lot layout and the approximate dimensions of each lot and of each building site.

k.Each street shown by its actual street name or by a temporary name or letter for purpose of identification until the proper name of such street is determined.

The following information may also be required when deemed appropriate by the Public Works Director:

a.The existing topography of the land proposed to be divided using contour intervals of not more than five feet and of not more than two feet where the grade of the land is less than 5%. Contours of adjacent land shall also be shown whenever the surface features of such land affect the design and/or improvement of the proposed division. The map shall contain a statement indicating the source of contours shown on the map.

b.The approximate location of all areas subject to inundation or storm water overflow and the location, width, and direction of flow of each watercourse.

c.The location of all cut and fill slopes or a separate grading plan.

d.The name or names of any geologist or soils engineer whose services were required in the preparation of the design of the map.

e.A geologic soils report prepared by a civil engineer who is registered by the state, unless the Public Works Department shall determine that, due to the knowledge such department has as to the soil qualities of the soil of such subdivision or lot, no preliminary analysis is necessary. If the preliminary soils report indicates the presence of critically expansive soils or other soil problems the person filing the tentative map shall submit a soils investigation of each lot in the subdivision, prepared by a civil engineer who is registered in this state, which shall recommend corrective action which is likely to prevent structural damage to each dwelling proposed to be constructed on the expansive soil. The Building Safety and Inspections Division shall approve the soils investigation if it determines that the recommended action is likely to prevent structural damage to each dwelling to be constructed and shall require that the approved recommended action be incorporated in the construction of each dwelling as a condition to the building permit.
