The next step in the process is for him to take the minutes approving the preliminary plat and the signed preliminary plats to the Oconee County Planning Commission. He will need to take a copy of the proposed final plat with him to the Planning Commission for them to review. After the Planning Commission reviews the final plat they will send an email/letter to the City informing us that the final plat is ready for approval at the next Council meeting.
