				Application. Applications shall be submitted in duplicate on forms obtained
				from the Administration's website found at http://www.marylandroads.com or by
				other methods as determined acceptable by the Administration.
F. Plans.
(1) All applicants shall submit detailed
				plans for review, indicating the true relationship between their planned
				improvements and the Administration's existing right-of-way, including
				easements, drainage facilities, and pavement. Plans shall be prepared by a
				registered land surveyor or registered professional engineer. Plans shall show
				dimensions, existing and proposed contours, storm drain facilities, structures,
				parking, interior traffic patterns, typical section through the State Highway
				Administration right-of-way, proposed curbs, sidewalk ramps, proposed
				widenings, etc.
(2) When possible,
				the applicant's plans should be referenced to Administration surveys.
(3) A general location map shall accompany
				plan submission.
(4) Preliminary
				plans should be prepared on an engineering scale of not less than 1 inch = 50
				feet. Recommended scale is 1 inch = 20 feet. When acreage is of such a size
				that the plan must be to a smaller scale, it would be appropriate to make a
				separate plan for the entrance construction and any roadway improvement deemed
				necessary by the Administration.
(5) Plan submission shall include a
				maintenance-of-traffic plan.
(6)
				For access permits where work is required in a travelled lane or where work
				disrupts the normal traffic pattern, an appropriate traffic control plan shall
				be developed by professional representatives of the permittee and approved by
				the SHA Assistant District Engineer, Traffic.
