All plat submissions, including Easement Plats and Record Plats, must clearly identify public easements. This new requirement is effective immediately and is necessitated by a recent court decision regarding Virginia Code Sec. 15.2-2265.

All plats with proposed easements must bear a note saying, “See the accompanying deed to this plat for information on use, ownership, maintenance and conditions of easements shown”.
