The Council shall, by ordinance, designate the director of a department, or some other administrative officer of the City, as Platting Commissioner. The Platting Commissioner shall provide regulations governing the platting of all lands so as to require all streets and alleys to be of proper width, and to be coterminous with adjoining streets and alleys, and otherwise to conform with regulations prescribed by the City Planning Commission. Such regulations may also require that sewers and other public improvements shall be of such nature as to conform to the plan of the City and be adequate to the future needs of the City and of the newly platted territory. Whenever the Council shall deem it expedient to plat any portion of territory within the City limits, in which the necessary or convenient streets or alleys have not already been accepted by the City so as to become public streets, or when any person plats any land within the corporate limits, or within three miles thereof, the Platting Commissioner shall, if such plats are in accordance with the rules as prescribed by him, endorse his written approval thereon. No plat subdividing lands within the corporate limits, or within three miles thereof, shall be entitled to record in the Recorder’s office of the County without such written approval so endorsed thereon.
