The layout plan will enable the applicant and the planner to render an informal preliminary review of the proposed subdivision for general scope and conditions which might affect the plat.
(2) Approval of a layout plan does not constitute or indicate that staff, the Planning and Zoning Board, or County Commission will support the conditions of the layout plan. It merely indicates a list of items that must be completed or met in order for the property to be subdivided.
