The purpose of a Preliminary Plat is to establish lot design for a subdivision, establish utility layouts, and street and intersection design. The Preliminary Plat stage ensures that the final plat design, if final platting is accomplished in phases, is consistent with the overall plan for the area. Preliminary Plats are not recorded and are not the legal document used for sale of lots, but rather are used to allow for comprehensive review of the proposed development.
