- Submit the Preliminary Plat to the City or County for review.
- Address all review comments by making modifications and resubmitting for further review.
- Upon approval by the City/ County, the process for Final Plat can proceed.
2. Create a final Plat
Based on field surveys, including Boundary, Topographic and Tree, the Final Plat depicts the geometry of the site layout and any public right-of-ways and easements.

- Drainage Analysis of existing and proposed conditions
- Grading plans
- Street paving plan and profile
- Sanitary sewer plan and profile
