This access may also serve as public trail right-of-way if required by the City Council. C. If a preliminary plat is final platted in stages, unless otherwise provided in the development contract, all stages must be final platted into lots and blocks, not outlots, within two (2) years after the preliminary plat has been approved by the City Council or the preliminary plat of all phases not so final platted shall be subject to replat to address changes in surrounding area land uses and/or physical features.
