(A) Any owner or developer of any tract of land situated within the town who subdivides the land shall cause a plat of the subdivision, with reference to known or permanent monuments, to be made and recorded in the office of the Clerk of the County Circuit Court. No plat of subdivision shall be recorded unless and until it shall have been submitted, approved and certified by the agent in accordance with the regulations set forth in this chapter. No lot shall be sold in any subdivision before the plat shall have been recorded.
(B) If a plan for subdivision is disapproved by the agent, the subdivider may appeal to the Council which may then override the recommendation of the agent and approve the plat.
