C.
Topographic map. Prepare a topographic map at the same scale as the subdivision plat, with a contour interval of ten (10) feet or less (referred to sea level datum), covering the entire area within the proposed subdivision and such surrounding area as may be necessary to determine the amount and direction of drainage flow within the subdivision and showing the location of existing and proposed roads and property lines.
