Final Plat Approval Process

The subdivision of lots where there is a development permit issued for construction of new street(s) and related utility, stormwater and infrastructure improvements shall comply with the following provisions for Final Plat approval prior to the recording of such lots.

1010-20.1 When the applicable provisions of the UDO have been complied with, the subdivider may submit

to the Department an application for Final Plat approval.

1010-20.2 The Director shall indicate on a review copy of the plat or in a written memorandum all

comments related to compliance of the Final Plat with this UDO, conditions of zoning approval, and the regulations of other County departments and State agencies as appropriate. The Director shall have final staff authority to determine the applicability of any and all comments under Title 2 and Title 3 of the UDO or conditions of zoning approval.

1010-20.3 The Director may not approve any Final Plat whereon is shown or by which is otherwise created a

lot which would present particularly severe and unusual difficulties for construction of a building, which would clearly require a variance to be reasonably usable, or which is otherwise "unbuildable" due to the presence of floodplain, unusual configuration, lack of Environmental Health Section approval, or for any other justified reason.

1010-20.4 Lots which would appear to be buildable under certain circumstances and would require further

study or additional information before a building permit could be issued, but which present problems or unusual difficulties which can reasonably be addressed or overcome by the lot owner, may be included in the Plat with the appropriate notation of the steps necessary to allow issuance of a building permit.

1010-20.5 The subdivider shall be responsible for compliance with all codes, regulations, and zoning

requirements and for the satisfaction of all of the comments of the Director.

1010-20.6 Final approval by the Director shall not be shown on the Final Plat until all requirements of these

and other applicable regulations have been met, and the Director shall require an executed Certificate of Development Conformance and an executed Development Performance and Maintenance Agreement from the subdivider. The Agreement, when applicable, shall be accompanied by a bond, letter of credit or other acceptable surety providing for the maintenance of all installations and improvements required by this UDO in the subdivision for a period not to exceed 18 months following the date of approval of the Certificate of Development Conformance.

The Director shall further determine that either:
A.All improvements and installation to the subdivision required for approval of the Final Plat under the rules and regulations of Gwinnett County have been completed in accordance with the appropriate specifications; or
B.All of the stormwater drainage and management facilities, water and sewer utilities, private utilities (power, gas, cable, etc.), or proof of payment for private utilities, street base and curbing construction required for approval of the Final Plat have been properly installed and completed and, for those required improvements not yet completed (grassing, required landscaping, sidewalks, entrance monuments, final street topping etc.) a performance bond shall have been filed by the subdivider with the Development Performance and Maintenance Agreement.
C.Payment for materials and installation of streetlights, traffic control, and street name signs shall be made to the Department of Transportation prior to approval of the Final Plat. Payment of the cost of striping major thoroughfares or required signalization if required and not completed by the developer shall also be received by the Department of Transportation prior to approval of the Final Plat.
D.Payment of the required plat review and authorization fees shall be made to the Department of Planning and Development prior to approval of the Final Plat.
1010-20.7 Once the Department has approved the Final Plat and all other affected departments and

agencies of government as required have certified compliance, the Director shall certify by signature on the original of the plat that all of the requirements of the UDO and the conditions of zoning approval have been met, and that all other affected departments have approved the plat. The Final Plat shall not be deemed approved until it has been signed by the Director and where use of septic tanks is proposed, by a duly authorized representative of the Environmental Health Section.

1010-20.8 Once the Final Plat has been certified, the Director shall authorize it to be recorded with the Clerk

of the Superior Court of Gwinnett County. The subdivider shall provide the Department an electronic copy of the recorded plat.

1010-20.9 Periodically, but no less often than once each month, the Director shall submit a listing of all

approved Final Plats to the Board of Commissioners for ratification of acceptance of all dedications.

§ 1010-30

Procedures for Revising Final Plats

prepare a letter to the Director documenting the reason for and extent of the revision and drawing(s) that contain the subject revisions along with a review fee determined by the Board of Commissioners. The revised plat shall contain a new signature block, be dated with the current date, be drawn at an appropriate scale and contain notation(s) indicating the nature, location and number of the revision, the previously recorded subdivision name, date and book and page number of the revision(s). The subdivision name, date and book and page number of the original or previously recorded recording shall be noted on the new plat; and the new plat drawings shall be designated as "Revised Final Plat".

1010-30.2 All revisions shall be recorded on the original Final Plat, and a statement to that effect shall be

noted on the Final Plat.

1010-30.3 If necessary, corresponding revisions to construction drawings, as-built drawings, engineering

data and reports also shall be prepared, labeled appropriately, submitted, reviewed, and certified by the Director, and filed in the Department along with a review fee determined by the Board of Commissioners.

to the appropriate departments or agencies that would be involved in checking the accuracy of the revision. After receipt of approval from such other departments or agencies, the Director shall certify the Revised Final Plat and submit it to the Board of Commissioners for ratification.
