§ 19-310. Final plat: Contents.
A.
The final plat shall be drawn on a scale of one hundred (100) feet to the inch from an accurate survey and on sheets whose dimensions do not exceed twenty-two (22) inches by thirty-two (32) inches between border lines on a mylar or equivalent standard twenty-four (24) by thirty-six (36) inch sheet. However, in the instance of the platting of a small area, the scale of the drawing may be changed such that one (1) inch will equal less than one hundred (100) feet in order to allow a larger representation of the tract; and, for platting of large lot subdivisions in the rural area containing more than one hundred (100) acres, then a scale of one (1) inch equals two hundred (200) feet may be used. On every sheet of every plat there shall be a key map showing the location of the subdivision referenced to government survey section lines and major streets and a legal description. If more than two (2) sheets are required for the plat, the key map shall show the number of the sheet for each area. A border of one (1) inch surrounding the sheet shall be left blank at the top, bottom, and right hand side, and a margin of three (3) inches at the left side for binding purposes.
B.
The final plat shall contain the information required for approval of a preliminary plat. Every sheet of the final plat shall also include the following:
1.
Name of the subdivision;
2.
The legal description of the subdivision referenced to section, township, range, name of city, county, and state, shall be placed on every page of the final plat;

All plat boundary lines with lengths of courses to hundredths of a foot and bearings to seconds.

Survey shall be tied and computed to the City of Norman plane coordinate system. Location of adjoining land boundary lines, with adjacent subdivisions identified by official names;

The blocks numbered consecutively throughout the entire subdivision and the lots numbered consecutively throughout each block, with the exception that any blocks designated for public or common ownership shall be designated with consecutive capital letters beginning with the letter "A", as opposed to numbers. If only a portion of a block shown on an approved preliminary plat is included in a final plat, the block and consecutive lot numbers shall be shown only for that portion of the block included in the final plat. When the remaining portion of the block is platted at a later time, the remainder of such block shall bear a different block number and the lot numbers shall be consecutively numbered beginning with the number one (1);
14.
All proposed lots in each subdivision shall be sequentially numbered, according to the address system adopted by the City of Norman. North and east side lots shall have odd-numbered addresses. South and west side lots shall have even-numbered addresses. Street, Avenue, Place, Court, etc. with the same street prefix shall not have the same lot address numbers. All street names and numbers shall be assigned by the Public Works Department. Street names shall be assigned during the preliminary plat process and street addresses assigned during the final plat process. After assignment, street addresses shall be designated and printed on each lot of record by the developer, unless otherwise approved during the plat review process;
