(A)

The site drainage plan shall be drawn at an approved scale with all elevations in feet and tenths of feet above sea level. The site drainage plan shall also conform to any approved subdivision grading plan (showing all control grades and the direction of surface water flow into approved storm drainage system) and shall indicate:

(1)

The site location;

All street, alleys, road, and drives;

(3)

All lot dimension, easements, utility services, and setback lines;
