Site Plan

The site plan is one of the most important aspects of a building permit application. A well-prepared site plan should show what uses are proposed for a site and should answer many of the questions which may be asked about the proposal.

When preparing your site plan make sure that the plan:

·  Drawn to scale

·  Includes a north arrow

·  Includes property lines

·  Shows all dimensions of the lot and structures

·  Shows appropriate topography

·  Shows site limitations

·  Includes all structures (existing and proposed) and setbacks from property lines

·  Includes appropriate roads, driveways, or parking areas

·  Includes any proposed storage areas

·  Shows appropriate utilities or wastewater system

·  Drawn clear and legible
