Each application shall be accompanied by a minimum of three sets of plans and specifications, including calculations. A person familiar with the site shall prepare the plans and specifications. For more complicated sites, the town engineer may require that the plans and specifications be prepared by an appropriate qualified professional who shall have his/her signature and stamp affixed to each set. The plans and specifications may include the appropriate information from the following:

A. An accurate plan of the entire site as it exists at the time of the application, which includes:

1. All property lines;

2. Contours over the entire site (five-foot contour intervals are standard, but other intervals may be required in specific circumstances);

3. The date, basis, and datum of the contours;

4. A graphic representation of existing vegetation on the site designated by its common names, the amount of bare ground, and the amount and type of impervious material (rock and artificial);

5. The location of all existing drainage facilities, natural and manmade;

6. The location and estimated capacity of any areas, which impound surface water;

7. The location and estimated discharge of all visible springs;

8. The location of all structures, utilities, and their appurtenances, including structures and utilities on adjacent properties when such information is reasonably available;

9. Date, north arrow, and adequate scale as approved by the town engineer on all maps and plans;

10. Identification of mitigation measures for on-site areas, which are subject to severe erosion, and off-site areas, which are especially vulnerable to damage from erosion and/or sedimentation.

B. The proposed work schedule, which details the following:

1. Sequence for clearing, grading, filling, drainage alteration, and other land-disturbing activities;

2. On-site soil or earth material storage locations and source of import materials, and location of the site where spoils will be disposed;

3. Schedule for installation and removal of all interim erosion and sediment control measures, including vegetative measures;

4. Schedule for construction of final improvements, if any;

5. Schedule for the installation of required permanent erosion and sediment control devices;

6. An outline of the methods to be used in clearing vegetation and in storing and disposing of the cleared vegetative matter.

C. An accurate finished grading plan of the entire site, as it would appear after the completion of work covered by the permit, showing the following:

1. The finished contours achieved by grading (at the same intervals as the existing contours);

2. The boundaries of all areas to remain undisturbed, and identification and the location of all other vegetation shown on the plan that will remain after the completion of work;

3. Drainage and related facilities to be constructed with and as a part of the proposed work;

4. Boundaries of all areas where surface water runoff will be retained, detained, or infiltrated;

5. The method for discharging surface water off-site, including the provisions required to control the velocity and direction of discharge to protect downstream properties;

6. The location of building setback lines, and approximate limits of cuts and fills, including but not limited to foundations, retaining walls, and driveways;

7. Location and dimensions of buffer zones and other areas to be maintained or established;

8. The location and description of proposed erosion and sedimentation control devices or structures and schedule of maintenance;

9. Off-site grading shall be noted on the plans, and a dated letter of permission from the property owner of the land affected shall be provided and noted on the plans. [Ord. 378 § 2 (Exh. 1), 1999.]
