                        , as shown on the accompanying drawings, represents a survey on the ground made under my direction (thatthere are no existing encroachments upon the lands and  property  herein described) or (that there are existing encroachments upon the  lands   and property described as shown).

    (Date)          (Signature)

    Individual Name--Printed Registered land surveyor or Registered civil engineer Registration No.           

    (fill in) (Firm name--if any)

    (Seal)              (Firm address)

    (ii)     All  easements  and   encroachments,     whether    of       benefit        or       burden, dimensioned and identified.

    (iii)    All property boundaries complete  with    bearings,    distances,    and curve data necessary to completely traverse the parcel or parcels.

    (iv)   All property corners monumented as prescribed in R 559.407(1)(a).

    (v)    A survey bench mark shown by symbol and described with       its    elevation referenced to an official bench mark of the national                                geodetic    survey    of the United

    States geological survey, which are based on the  national geodetic vertical datum of 1929. If the bench mark is more than 200 feet from the total site, a permanent bench mark shall be established within that distance in accordance with the generally accepted   standards   for establishment of such a bench mark.

    (vi)   Identification of all contiguous properties or waterways.

    (vii)    In the case of expandable condominium projects, all land on which the balance of the project may be located shall be shown, complete with distances, bearings, and curve data, identified as proposed future development. This land shall be shown in relationship to  the  phase  being currently submitted.

    (viii)    A location map of  the  project   with  its    relationship     to    the surrounding

    area.

    (c)   A floodplain plan when  the  condominium   lies  within   or    abuts   a floodplain

    area, showing all the following:

    (i)   The location of all condominium buildings and improvements.

    (ii)     The floodplain shall be shown within a contour line as established by the department of natural resources.

    (iii)    The floodplain contour line shall be shown to the point where it intersects with the boundaries of the  condominium project  or   to  its limits, whichever is greater, and be dimensioned to the nearest whole foot from the street or traverse line.

    (iv)   The contours over the entire project shown at 2-foot intervals.

    (v)   The floodplain area shall be clearly labeled with words "floodplain area." A common element or a condominium unit, other than a campsite or a marina  unit,  shall not  be  constructed   where  it  may  be   reasonably anticipated that the structures will be damaged by flooding. Where the proposed condominium project is within a floodplain, the administrator may require a statement from a registered engineer that the subject   property is not in  apparent  present  or   future    danger   of   flooding, including herewith an explanation of the factors leading to that conclusion.

    (d)  A site plan showing all of the following:

    (i)   Specific locations of all property corners, condominium buildings or units, and improvements by a coordinate system established in the form  of   latitudes  and departures in north-south and east-west directions  from  an  established   point, preferably a property corner.

    (ii)    All coordinate values referenced to either the Michigan coordinate system, prescribed by Act No. 9 of  the   Public  Acts  of  1964,  being SS 54.231 to 54.239 of the Michigan Compiled Laws, or to a city coordinate system, if one exists, or to a monument set during the survey, if such coordinate systems have not been established.
