Site plans are routinely submitted with well and building permit applications, subdivision and commercial development proposals, and abbreviated process and pre-permit plan review requests.
In order to conduct a thorough, accurate and timely review of your project, submission of a comprehensive site plan is required. All submitted plans must be appropriately scaled and, include the following items:
- Existing and proposed structures (dwellings, sheds, garages, barns, decks, pool, etc.)
- Existing or proposed driveway, and any paved or disturbed areas.
- Existing or proposed wells. For an existing well with a tag, please include the number on the site plan. If no tag is present, a photo of the well must be included along with a description of its construction (e.g. drilled well, well in pit, buried well, or hand dug well).
- Existing on-site sewage disposal system(s) (OSDS). All components of the OSDS must be shown and labeled if septic permit records are available.
- Configuration of the current septic reserve area (SRA).
- Configuration of the proposed SRA.
- Contours labeled in intervals no greater than five (5) feet. Many site plans will require identification of contours in 2 foot intervals.
- Soil types.
- Field located soil percolation test sites (old and new test sites).
- A legend indicating passing and failing soil percolation tests.
- Neighboring wells, OSDS, and SRAs within 200 feet of the property lines. If there are no encroachments, please indicate such along the appropriate tract boundary.
- Existing easements, right of ways, critical areas, forest retention areas, flood plain, etc.
- Ponds, streams, steep slopes, lakes, springs, seeps, etc.
- Stormwater management devices.
- Utility lines and easements (water, sewer, natural gas, electric).
