These conferences:.can enable the subdivider to familiarize himself with what will be expected o hi�n before he ve- has spent a great deal of time and money preparing:°detailed plans for his,de. lopment. Tn preparing For the initial preapplication conference; `the subdivider .should 4 complete these few documents: (a). A,subdivider's data sheet„ which indicates.the'general'features of -his plan (Figure 6); r_ (b)" A location map which locates' the proposed subdivision tract 'in { relation -to the surrounding area., shows zoning classifications, i and indicates the relationship of the proposed subdivision to t� } ' , existing community facilities.(Figure 7); (c) A land inspection sketch, which very generally.indicates the ` characteristics of the site.(Figure B); These rudimentary documents will provide the basis for discussions between repre- sentatives of the city and the developer as to the location'°and other general characteristics of the proposed subdivision tract. Following these discussions,,•% the developer should, if he has not already done so,.secure professional counsel x for.the preparation of materials required for the second -and final.'..phase of the preapplication process: (a) A topographic map (preferably professionally prepared), which indicates ground elevations and other existing physical con` h ditions 'of the site (figure 9); .

It is not necessary for these materials to be. pre- cisely drawn so long as they clearly indicate the relationship of.the proposed layout of streets,, lots, and other features to site conditions and the proposed'. locations of schools, churches, parks and playgrounds, shopping centers and other neighborhood facilities. It is important, too, that some indication be made of how the proposed subdivision plan will fit into the surrounding tJeigh- borhood.
