Development

Engineering Plans & Plats

Engineering (civil) plans are sometimes required when a property is platted for development. Engineering plans associated with a plat must be submitted for the construction of street drainage, water and sewer systems, fire hydrants and any other public improvements required within and adjacent to the property being platted. Engineering plans must include details, profiles, cross sections and plan views of all public (and in some cases, private) infrastructure required for the development of real property. 

Generally, the property must be platted or replatted when it is developed or redeveloped. A plat may also be required when a portion of an undeveloped property is being divided and sold, or proposing to build a structure over an existing lot line. All Public Improvements must be at least 95% complete (as determined by the City Staff Engineer) before you will be permitted to apply for platting. 

A rights-of-way permit will be required for all work being performed within public rights-of-way or easements. The developer must construct all public improvements, including streetlights, street name signs and other improvements as required.
