All site/plot plans may be hand-drawn or prepared by a registered land surveyor, landscape architect, engineer, or licensed contractor, except for land disturbing activities one acre or more or otherwise stated in other ordinances. The developer or agent must provide three 11-inch by 17-inch or larger scaled site/plot plans to the county planning department for review and approval. Before submitting a site/plot plan, parcels considered to be developed must part or all of a recorded plat.
