Final Plats are the final detailed drawings (to scale) of a tract of land, depicting the proposed division of the tract into lots or parcels, blocks, streets, or other areas within a proposed subdivision. Final Plats include all pertinent engineering data necessary to locate every street, lot, block, and boundary line on the ground. Final Plats must conform with the approved Preliminary Plan of Subdivision and Detailed Site Plan, if applicable.

Subdivision and Development Review Committee (SDRC):  Final Plats are not reviewed at an SDRC meeting unless there is an associated variation request. Final Plats without variation requests may be referred to the SDRC at the discretion of the Subdivision Section Supervisor or at the request of the applicant.

Decision-Making Body: Final plats for minor subdivisions and plats filed optionally or those exempt from the filing of a Preliminary Plan of Subdivision are decided by the Planning Director. Final plats for major subdivisions and those with accompanying variation requests are decided by the Planning Board at regularly scheduled meetings but advertised public hearings and preapplication notices are not required.

Fees:  $750 per plat

Public Notice Requirement:  No requirement for minor final plats. Mailings are required 10 days prior to the Planning Board hearing to the address included on the application for major final plats. 

Estimated Review Time:  Plats are reviewed by staff for accuracy and completeness prior to being accepted. Under the new Subdivision Regulations, accepted final plats are reviewed within 45 calendar days.
