Lake Forest is an established lakefront community known for large wooded estates, where lot division tends to involve sizable residential parcels. A plat of subdivision is the recorded map that separates such a parcel into lots, blocks, and the easements needed to serve them.
A plat of subdivision divides a parcel into lots, blocks, streets and easements in compliance with the municipality’s subdivision and zoning ordinances, then is recorded with the county. It is the foundation of any residential or commercial development.
The Pi Surveying process — clear, sealed, and ready for your project.
Lake Forest has about 19,367 residents and spans Moraine, Shields, and West Deerfield townships within Lake County, whose seat is Waukegan. A subdivision plat must conform to the city subdivision and zoning ordinance and receive local approval before recording through the Recording Division of the Lake County Clerk’s Office. Because ravines and drainage move toward Lake Michigan, drainage easements are commonly reflected on the plat. For these Lake Forest parcels, Pi Surveying prepares the boundary survey and the recordable plat.
Yes, if each resulting lot meets the zoning dimensional standards; the division is completed through an approved and recorded plat of subdivision.
Ravines and their drainage can constrain lot layout and require easements, so the plat must account for those features on each affected lot.
A licensed surveyor establishes the boundary, lays out lots and easements, references monuments, and certifies the plat for recording.
