Site Plan Requirements
You will most likely be creating multiple site plans through your project journey. Reference this webpage as you build these site plans.
For a example, a Site Plan for a Site Evaluation will look slightly different than a Site Plan for the Onsite Permit. The reason being is because the Site Evaluation conducted by the Onsite Specialist approves an area in which you can place your septic system in. The approved area will need to be present on the Site Plan for the Onsite Permit.
Standard Requirements for All Site Plans
- Entire property drawn proportionally, including ALL existing and proposed structures and septic system(s).
- Label all existing structures as “Existing” and all proposed structures as “Proposed”.
- Label all existing and proposed structures with the use(s) in that structure.
- Distance from proposed structures to property lines.
- Distance from proposed structures to existing structures.
- Size of all existing and proposed buildings, structures, decks, patios, outbuildings, driveways, and access roads.
- Location of all major features (i.e. - canals, irrigation ditches, rim rock ledges, etc.).
- Location of any public utility or other easements (canals, power lines/poles) etc.
- Dimensions of all property lines.
- Location of wells and water sources on subject property.
- Arrow indicating North.
- Names and location of all streets or roads adjacent to the property
