Below lists the various types of plats and their purposes:
Types of Plats | ||
Section | Type of Plat | Purpose |
Pre-application conference | As the first stage in the platting approval process, the purpose of a preliminary plat is to determine the general layout of the subdivision, the adequacy of public facilities needed to serve the intended development, and the overall compliance of the land division with applicable requirements of this chapter. | |
Final plat | As the second stage in the platting approval process, the purpose of a final plat is to ensure that the proposed subdivision and development of the land is consistent with all standards of this chapter pertaining to the adequacy of public facilities; that public improvements to serve the subdivision or development have been installed and accepted by the town or that provision for such installation has been made; and that all other requirements and conditions have been satisfied or provided for to allow the final plat to be recorded. | |
Minor plat | The purpose of a minor plat is to provide a limited means for simple land division under certain circumstances, which result in minimal lot creation. In circumstances where adequate infrastructure, easements, and right-of-way already exist and the extension of any town facilities to serve any lot within the subdivision is not required, then a minor plat may be suitable as an instrument to subdivide one lot into three or fewer lots. The minor plat is also suitable for the purpose of combining lots where infrastructure, easements and right-of-way is not affected. | |
Replat | The purpose of a replat is to re-subdivide all or any part of a previously platted subdivision, that is beyond the definition of an amending plat and which does not require the vacation of the entire preceding plat. | |
Amending plat | The purpose of an amending plat shall be to provide an expeditious means of making minor revisions to a recorded plat. An amending plat does not allow for the creation of new lots and is designed only to modify existing recorded plats. | |
