Residential Site Plans

#1 Question... What is a Site Plan?

A site plan is a detailed drawing/diagram of your property.

Site plans will show the boundaries of your property, plus the location of all existing improvements (i.e. house, shed, etc.), utilities, setbacks and any other notable features.

Topographic survey information is likely needed, as well, to calculate contours and slope of the property.

Per Metro's website, "Most applications require approvals from other Departments, such as Water and Sewer, Health, Planning Commission, Public Works, Historical Zoning, etc." Make sure your site plans include all required information.'
