The purpose of this provision is to <br /> insure that all required auxillary documents, such as Road Maintenance <br /> Agreements and Declaration of Restrictions are recorded with the plat. <br /> Compliance with this provision would require that a Planning Staff member <br /> accompany the applicant to the Register of Deeds Office each time a final plat is <br /> to be recorded. The Orange County Planning Staff and Register of Deeds office <br /> have developed a system that provides the Register of Deeds with a list of items to <br /> be recorded with the final plat. By providing this information the need for a <br /> Planning Staff member to be present is alleviated. This allows the Register of <br /> Deeds Office to know what documents must accompany the plat. <br />
