[Massplanners] Reproducible Mylars

It isn't and if you need it at all, it should be at the end for the final plans.

Better to ask for CAD files at the end.

Subject: [Massplanners] Reproducible Mylars

Hello.
I'm working on updating our Subdivision Regulations and am thinking about why we require developers to submit mylar reproducible versions of the definitive subdivision plans with their applications when it's almost certain that changes will have to be made to the plans during the process.  Does the unsigned mylar version have any legal weight over a paper plan?  I expect engineers can print out mylar plans just as easy as paper plans.

I know we have always held on to the mylar version in the office until the definitive subdivision was approved - and then we give it back to the developer so that they can make any necessary changes.  But usually, during the process, we receive paper copies of any changes made during the process.

Why is it important to have the mylar version in the beginning?
