sponsible for the survey and design. •
(3) Location of boundary or property lines; width and loca-
tion of platted streets, alleys and easements within or

existing utilities and pipelines, showing pipe sizes and
capacities of storm sewers and drainage structures;
outline of any existing wooded areas or location of indi-
vidual large trees.
(4) A topographical map shall be superimposed on all pre-
liminary plats filed with the city. Contour intervals of
such map shall not be greater than two (2) feet with
