Such application shall include the original ink linen drawings, one transparency print, five contact prints of the final plat, and four copies of all supporting maps, drawings and all other required documents. The final plat shall retain the design characteristics of the approved preliminary plan, except that Council may require such changes or revisions as are deemed necessary in the interest and needs of the community.

Upon the adoption of the resolution approving a final plat, the Village Clerk shall certify such approval and affix the corporate seal of the Village on the final plat.

(2) One contact print and all specifications, drawings and estimates shall be delivered to the Building Commissioner.
(3) One transparency print and one contact print and all other supporting documents shall be retained by the Village Clerk.
