shall be known, which shall not duplicate the name of any other previous
development in the Town of Stratford.

lines; the approximate location and size of all permanent buildings
and their present or proposed future usage; principal trees and wooded

water mains; telephone, electric and gas lines; and other existing
features. The line of mean high tide shall be shown thereon in case
the subdivision is adjacent to tidewater.

the property immediately adjacent thereto, with the names of all adjoining
property owners as nearly as the same may be ascertained. Approximate
elevations shall be shown at the beginning and end of each street
at street intersections and at all points where there is a decided
change in the slope or direction.

in these zone boundaries for which the owner proposed to petition
the Commission shall be set forth in a separate application for approval
as provided by the zoning regulations of the Town of Stratford.[1]
