(12)
Grading, drainage, and stormwater control measures, and existing and finished grades and contours;
(13)
The location of all existing and proposed public and private utility and emergency easements or other rights-of-way;
(14)

(21)
Existing specific physical features on the site, including drainage ways, lakes, buildings, and structures, with indication as to which are to be retained. When requested, adjacent properties and their physical features within 50 feet of the property line shall be identified including setback dimensions of adjacent structures;
(22)
A landscape plan in accordance with Article XXII of this chapter;
(23)
Location of all existing and proposed recreational amenities such as open play areas, swimming pools, tennis courts, tot lots, and similar facilities;
(24)
Additionally, the applicant may be required to submit one or more of the following supportive information, if deemed necessary by the zoning administrator:
a.
A final drainage plan and report in conformance with the City of Sheridan regulations;
b.
A final grading and erosion control plan in conformance with the City of Sheridan regulations;
c.
Right-of-way and easement dedication or conveyance document;
d.
Title insurance commitment or policies;
e.
Traffic studies and/or signal plans;
f.
Plans for off-site improvements such as curb, gutter and sidewalk construction and/or removal;
g.
Utility plan including location and size of utility lines within the site and the extension, if any, to serve the development, including easements where necessary;
h.
Highway noise mitigation plan. A highway noise and mitigation evaluation plan for all properties located adjacent to or within 500 feet of the right-of-way for U.S. 285, Federal Boulevard, and Santa Fe Drive. Such requirement for a highway noise mitigation plan can be waived by the zoning administrator or planning commission (depending upon to whom the site plan is submitted for approval) where, based upon the size of the development and the existence of a community noise mitigation plan, the developer proposes and agrees to install highway noise mitigation measures consistent with the community plan. The preparation of a highway noise mitigation plan should contain the following elements:
1.
Description of existing conditions. The existing acoustical environment at the project site including the type of land uses that are near the site.
2.
Noise measurements. Noise measurements shall be performed at the site to quantify the existing noise level at the location of proposed buildings and outdoor use areas. The measurements shall be based upon at least one continuous 24-hour noise measurement to allow a determination of the DNL at the site. Supplemental short term measurements (no less than 15 minutes) can be used to help determine noise levels throughout a larger site by comparing the short term measurements with simultaneous measurements at the long term measurement location.
3.
Future noise levels. Calculations showing anticipated future noise levels on the site after development. If a traffic study is not warranted, then estimates can be used if they are approved by the city public works or planning department.
4.
Noise impact assessment. If the noise levels are anticipated to exceed the standard set out in Chapter 46, Article II of this Code, mitigation recommendations that will enable the project to meet the standard must be provided.
i.
For outdoor areas the options to mitigate noise may include site orientation, building layout or noise barriers or any other means demonstrated to mitigate the noise. For indoor noise, sound rated building constructions such as sound rated windows are typically used.
ii.
The report must describe in detail the height, length and location of any noise barriers. Similarly, the location of any sound rated building elements must also be provided. The report must have a table showing existing noise levels and future noise levels with and without any proposed mitigation measures.
iii.
Detailed design information can be provided at a later date provided the initial study has clear evidence that the city's standards can be met.
(e)
All application submittals required under this section must be complete. All forms, site plan submittals and other supporting documents must be uploaded to a compact disc or portable USB flash drive, and submitted together with other items such as postage and required paper copies to the zoning administrator in person or via mail.
