(a) Approval of a minor subdivision without a plat may be granted by the Manager if the proposed division of a parcel of land meets all of the following requirements:
(1) The proposed subdivision is located along an existing public street and does not involve opening, widening or extending any street.
(2) Not more than five lots or parcels less than five acres in size are involved after the original tract has been completely subdivided. An original tract shall be considered to have been completely subdivided when all of lots created as a result of any division are less than five acres.
(3) The proposed subdivision is not contrary to applicable subdivision or zoning regulations. Administrative approval shall not be granted if any variance from either the Zoning Code or these Subdivision Regulations is requested.

This means that a request for a minor subdivision may be properly denied and a record subdivision plat may be required in order for the proposed subdivision not to be contrary to any applicable provision of these Subdivision Regulations.
(b) The Manager shall, within seven working days after submission, take action upon such proposed division. If the proposed division is acceptable, a conveyance for such parcel shall be presented to the Manager who shall sign the conveyance and stamp it “Approved by the Carlisle Manager: No plat required.”
