The condominium subdivision plan shall be reproductions of original drawings.

(2) A complete condominium subdivision plan shall include all of the following:

(a) A cover sheet. The cover sheet shall list all documents included in the condominium subdivision plan and contain a notice that reads substantially as follows:

This condominium subdivision plan is not required to contain detailed project design plans prepared by the appropriate licensed design professional. Such project design plans are filed, as part of the construction permit application, with the enforcing agency for the state construction code in the relevant governmental subdivision. The enforcing agency may be a local building department or the state department of licensing and regulatory affairs.

To the extent that a developer is contractually obligated to deliver utility conduits, buildings, sidewalks, driveways, landscaping, or an access road, these items shall be shown and designated as “must be built”, but the obligation to deliver these items exists whether or not they are so shown and designated.

(k) The nature, location, and approximate size of the common elements.

(l) Other items the administrator requires by rule.
