Before preparing and submitting his preliminary
plat, the developer's engineer or attorney is invited to informally
discuss the proposed development with the Planning Board Engineer
or Planning Board Solicitor.
The purpose of the preliminary plat is to provide
the Planning Board with the detailed drawings of what is expected
to become the final subdivision plat. These drawings shall be precise
and accurate in order to give the Board and its representatives who
are charged with the responsibility of reviewing the plat all the
data and preciseness necessary for a detailed review. The preliminary
plat shall be in substantial agreement with the sketch plat.
Before consideration of a final subdivision plat, the subdivider will have installed the improvements required under Article
V or the Planning Board shall require the posting of adequate performance guaranties to assure the installation of the required improvements.
The purpose of the final plat is to provide
the community with a set of final drawings of all the information
required for the preliminary plat. The final plat, therefore, serves
as the final record of the proposed subdivision. All subdivision improvements
shall be installed as specified on the plat and on any accompanying
documentation as required and approved by the Planning Board.
