Site Plan Guide

So you have to submit a site plan. This is a general outline and guide to preparing a site plan in Brunswick County. The purpose of a site plan is to present a detailed illustration of improvements and property layout to provide clear understanding of how the property will be improved or altered.

1. Draw property lines and/or dimensions. A site drawing must show the entire parcel regardless of number of acres. (The deed or plat can be obtained at the Register Of Deeds).
2. Write in the size of the new structure (include length and width).
3. Show all existing structures and the size of the structures.
4. If there is an existing septic system, show the distance from the structure and where it is located on the lot. Show the proposed area for the new septic system.
5. Draw the location of the driveway.
6. Show distances from the property lines to the structure(s).
7. Show where existing wells are located and/or the location of new wells. Also, show the location of well(s) on adjoining lots.
8. Show the name of the street and/or road to the property (see GIS for information, if necessary).
