A final plat is required for the creation of a legal lot of record.

If so desired by the developer, the final plat may constitute only
that portion of the approved preliminary plat that the developer proposes
to record and then develop. Provided, however, that such portion conforms
to all requirements of these regulations.

preliminary plat to the extent that the city council finds such deviation
to be significant and not consistent with the intent and general layout
of the approved preliminary plat, such final plat shall not be approved
