Storm Water Management Plan

Chapter 23 of the Municipal Code pertains to storm water management. These requirements are applicable to any residential development with a gross area of one acre or more and any non-residential land development with a gross area of 1/2 acre or more.

Sign Plan

Signs may be included on Elevation Plans, but if submitted separately, they must include a scaled sketch of the proposed signs, providing dimensions and area, text, lettering, colors, types of materials, method of illumination, height, and dimensions of the pole or mounting bracket, ground sign site plan, and the date the Sign Plan was prepared. A summary of all existing signs that will remain on the site, including dimensions, is also required.
