(a) Notwithstanding sections 1236.03 to 1236.10, a proposed division of a parcel of land along an existing public street, not involving the opening, widening, or extension of any street or road, and involving no more than five lots after the original tract has been completely subdivided and in compliance with Ohio Revised Code Chapter 711 and the City zoning regulations, may be submitted to the Board of Zoning and Planning for approval without plat.
(b) The request for approval of subdivision without a plat shall, at a minimum, include a deed map showing the boundaries of tract being subdivided, a legal description prepared by a registered surveyor that has been previously approved by the Franklin County Engineer's Office and the zoning classification of the tract. The Board of Zoning and Planning may require other information that is pertinent to its determination under this division.
(c) If the Board of Zoning and Planning finds that a proposed division is not contrary to applicable platting, subdividing, zoning, health, sanitary, or access management regulations, or regulations regarding existing surface or subsurface drainage, it shall approve the proposed division within thirty (30) days after the application is presented to BZAP.
(d) If the Board of Zoning and Planning approves the subdivision without a plat, on presentation of a conveyance of the parcel, the conveyance instrument shall be stamped "Approved by Bexley Board of Zoning and Planning; no plat required" and signed by its Clerk or other designated representative of the Board of Zoning and Planning.
(e) If the owner of the property does not agree with any of the requirements for approval without a plat specified by the Board or the decision of the Board, the owner may then appeal to Council for approval for recording, and such approval shall be obtained before the transfer can be recorded.
