feet for land of lesser average slope; all existing watercourses;
tree masses and isolated trees with a diameter of 10 inches or more;
existing buildings, underground utilities, existing easements, existing
water mains, culverts, sewer mains, drains and all other significant

The preliminary plat shall be accompanied by:
The Planning Board shall give careful study to the preliminary
plat, taking into consideration the requirements of the community
and the best use of the land to be subdivided, together with its prospective
character, whether residential, business or industrial. Special attention
shall be given to such internal improvements and conditions as street
widths and arrangement, traffic circulation, surface drainage and
sanitation and lot sizes and arrangement, and to such neighborhood
and community requirements as those of school grounds, parks and playgrounds
and main thoroughfare widths and locations. In these and other respects
the subdivision plan shall conform to the general development plan
of the municipality, if such exists, and to such other development
proposals for the area as may have been prepared by the Planning Board.
Before taking action upon a preliminary plat, the Planning Board or
its authorized representative shall view the land proposed to be subdivided.
Upon approval of a preliminary plat by the Planning Board, the
Board shall endorse five prints of the plat to that effect, indicating
the date of approval. Such modifications of the original plat as may
be required by the Planning Board as conditions for approval shall
likewise be shown on the five endorsed prints of the plat, and attached
to each print shall be a written statement of other conditions for
approval, if any. Two of the endorsed prints of the plat shall be
returned to the subdivider, one shall be retained by the Planning
Board, and two shall be filed with the Village Clerk.
