Its been my experience in the modern era that the original mylar isn't changed but the final plans printed on a new sheet of mylar so I have kept the original mylars rather than return it. There was an engineer in the ToK that still did hand drawn plans, I think his wet stamp was #00000004.</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">TBott</div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div class="ydpd146bae2yiv8078035584ydpb75a05d1signature"><div style="font-family:new times, serif;font-size:16px;"><div>Thomas Bott Interim Carver Town Planner</div><div><br clear="none"></div><div><i id="ydpd146bae2yiv8078035584ydpfb687fb8yiv6753380931yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1519652102965_53159" style="background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);"><font id="ydpd146bae2yiv8078035584ydpfb687fb8yiv6753380931yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1519652102965_53160" color="#4c76a2">You too could follow me on Twitter @TBottPlimoth but it clearly isn’t necessary</font></i></div></div></div></div>

<p class="yiv8078035584MsoNormal">Hello.</p>
<p class="yiv8078035584MsoNormal">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.</p>
<p class="yiv8078035584MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="yiv8078035584MsoNormal">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.</p>
<p class="yiv8078035584MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="yiv8078035584MsoNormal">Why is it important to have the mylar version in the beginning?
