A. Preliminary Plat Information. The preliminary plat application shall consist of drawings and supplementary written material (i.e., on forms and/or in a written narrative) adequate to provide the following information:

1. General Information.

a. Name of subdivision (not required for partitions). This name must not duplicate the name of another subdivision in the county in which it is located (please check with county surveyor);

b. Date, north arrow, and scale of drawing;

c. Location of the development sufficient to define its location in the city, boundaries, and a legal description of the site, including vicinity;

d. Names, addresses and telephone numbers of the owners, designer, and engineer or surveyor, and the date of the survey; and

e. Identification of the drawing as a “preliminary plat.”

2. Site Analysis.

a. Streets. Location, name, present width of all existing streets, alleys and rights-of-way on and abutting the site;

b. Easements. Width, location and purpose of all existing easements of record on and abutting the site;

c. Utilities. Location and identity of all utilities on and abutting the site. If water mains and sewers are not on or abutting the site, indicate the direction and distance to the nearest ones;

d. Ground elevations shown by contour lines at five-foot vertical intervals for ground slopes exceeding 10 percent and at two-foot intervals for ground slopes of less than 10 percent. Such ground elevations shall be related to some established benchmark or other datum approved by the county surveyor. This requirement may be waived for partitions of one acre or less with grades, on average, less than five percent;

e. The location and elevation of the closest benchmark(s) within or adjacent to the site (i.e., for surveying purposes);

f. Potential natural hazard areas, including any floodplains, areas subject to high water table, landslide areas, and areas having substantial erosion potential;

g. Sensitive lands, including wetland areas, streams, wildlife habitat, greenways, and other areas identified by the city or natural resource regulatory agencies as requiring protection (see Chapter 18.85 TMC);

h. Site features, including existing structures, pavement, large rock outcroppings, areas having unique views, and drainage ways, canals and ditches;

i. Designated historic and cultural resources on the site and adjacent parcels or lots. Note that documentation of pre-settlement cultural resources may not be made a part of the public record as a matter of law, and shall be submitted in a sealed envelope addressed to the city planner for the subject application;

j. The location, size and species of trees having a caliper (diameter) of four inches (dbh) or greater at four feet above grade;

k. Lighting plan, mailbox plan; and

l. Other information, as deemed appropriate by the city planner or city administrator. The city may require studies or exhibits prepared by qualified professionals, such as a traffic study, anticipated water use and conservation study, cultural resource study, tree report and preservation study, wetland delineation, or similar study, to address specific site features and code requirements.

3. Proposed Improvements.

a. Public and private streets, tracts, driveways, open space and park land; location, names, right-of-way dimensions, approximate radius of street curves; and approximate finished street centerline grades. All streets and tracts that are being held for private use and all reservations and restrictions relating to such private tracts shall be identified;

b. Easements. Location, width and purpose of all easements;

c. Lots and Private Tracts (e.g., Private Open Space, Common Area, or Street). Approximate dimensions, area calculation (e.g., in square feet), and identification numbers for all lots and tracts (e.g., “Lot 1,” “Tract 1”);

d. Proposed uses of the property, including all areas proposed to be dedicated to the public or reserved as open space for the purpose of surface water management, recreation, or other use;

e. Proposed improvements, as required by Chapter 17.10, Development and Design Standards, and timing of improvements (e.g., in the case of streets, sidewalks, street trees, utilities, etc.);

f. The proposed source of domestic water;

g. The proposed method of sewage disposal, and method of surface water drainage and treatment if required;

h. The approximate location and identity of other utilities, including the locations of street lighting fixtures;

i. Proposed railroad crossing or modifications to an existing crossing, if any, and evidence of contact with Oregon Department of Transportation and the Public Utility Commission related to proposed changes to railroad crossing(s);

j. Proposed changes to navigable streams or other watercourses. The only changes that will be considered within the bed and banks of Bear Creek and Wagner Creek will be new or modified storm water outfalls designed to reduce the adverse impacts of storm water flows and protect water quality in conformance with applicable laws. Modifications to these areas, including provision or closure of public access, shall be shown on the preliminary plat and evidence of contact with the Division of State Lands and Army Corps of Engineers shall be provided, as applicable;

k. Identification of the base flood elevation for development in floodplains. Evidence of contact with the National Flood Insurance Program to initiate a floodplain map amendment shall be required when development is proposed to modify a designated 100-year floodplain. Elevation certificates are required for all construction in floodplains prior to occupancy;

l. Evidence of contact with Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) for any development requiring access to a highway under the state’s jurisdiction;

m. Evidence of contact with the applicable natural resource regulatory agency(s) for any development within or adjacent to jurisdictional wetlands and other sensitive lands, as identified in Chapter 18.85 TMC;

n. A future street plan that conforms to the provisions of TMC 17.10.050(I). The plan shall show the pattern of existing and proposed future streets from the boundaries of the proposed land division and shall include other parcels within 600 feet surrounding and adjacent to the proposed land division; and

o. Proposed irrigation ditch crossings, if any, and evidence of contact with the Talent Irrigation District related to existing or proposed irrigation ditch crossings. [Ord. 818 § 2 (Exh. A (§ 8-2.320)); Ord. 692 § 12.]
