1. A map showing the location, width and grade of the proposed road and/or drive and any proposed new connection to the existing road system. The map shall also depict surrounding areas within 100 feet of the proposed road and/or drive (hereafter the “project site”).

2. The location and width of all public or private streets, roads and/or drives within the project site. Aerial photographs may be used for this purpose.

3. An identification of existing natural features within the project site, including trees, which are proposed to be retained, removed or modified by the proposal.

4. Preliminary grading and drainage plans prepared by a registered professional engineer or registered landscape architect.

E. COCC-RDR Approval Standards. A private road or private drive within the boundaries of the district shall be approved subject only to the standards provided below:

2. The private road or private drive meets the setbacks established in Table 2.7.1004.B.

3. Adequate pedestrian and bicycle access is provided either in connection with the proposed road or drive or through existing or planned pedestrian/bicycle corridors located in alternative locations within the district.

5. Fire Department approval shall be required for any road grades in excess of the standards contained in Table 2.7.1010.
