The purpose of the sketch plat is to indicate to the county the intent and scope of the subdivision and to familiarize the applicant with the county's planning goals and requirements which may affect the subdivision. A sketch plat review often allows an applicant to save substantial time and engineering costs, because many concerns about layout and issues concerning county ordinances can be resolved prior to detailed engineering. This can often reduce the need for future redesign at a more detailed stage, thereby saving the applicant significant money and time.
