According to Florida State Statutes Chapter 177 Part I, prior to the approval of a plat by the appropriate governing body, the plat shall be reviewed for conformity to Chapter 177 Part I Platting by a professional surveyor and mapper either employed by or under contract to the local governing body, the costs of which shall be borne by the legal entity offering the plat for recordation, and evidence of such review must be placed on such plat.
WGI was requested through Task Work Orders by the City of Palm Beach Gardens’ Engineering Department with its continuing survey services contract to provide plat reviews. Jim Sullivan, PSM served in this role of reviewing surveyor for plats submitted to the City.
The City turned to WGI for its massive development of Avenir to ensure the use of the land to all owners without recourse to the City. WGI has currently reviewed seven Avenir plats and replats which included more than 80 pages. Jim worked with city staff to look out for the city’s best interest by reviewing the language and geometry of each plat prior to recording.
The plats were reviewed for conformity to the City’s municipal code Chapter 78, Article V, Division 10 along with Chapter 177 Part I of the Florida Statutes and any requirements of Palm Beach County that applied.
There is a Preliminary plat review with multiple iterations and each Final Plat was reviewed prior to mylar signatures.
