A. 
The final plat and supporting drawings and documents for a proposed subdivision constitute the complete development of the subdivision proposal and include the recommendations resulting from the Planning Board review of the preliminary layout, as well as the detailed layout drawings for the public improvements and utilities.

The plat itself must be recorded at the County Clerk's office to have legal status. An unrecorded plat is not a valid basis for site improvements or other commitments which depend on its design characteristics.
