A. Whenever any subdivision of land shall hereafter be laid out within the incorporated limits of the City or within contiguous territory not more than one and one-half (11/2) miles beyond the incorporated boundary of the City, the subdivider thereof or his agent shall submit both a preliminary and a final subdivision plat to the Plan Commission for its approval. The subdivision plats and all procedures relating thereto shall in all respects be in full compliance with these regulations.
B. Until plats and plans for the subdivision are approved:
1. No land shall be subdivided, nor any street laid out, nor any improvements made to the natural land.
2. No lot, tract or parcel of land within any subdivision shall be offered for sale nor shall any sale, contract for sale or option be made or given.
3. No improvements--such as sidewalks, water supply, storm water drainage, sanitary sewerage facilities, gas service, electric service, lighting, grading, paving or surfacing of streets--shall hereafter be made by any owner or his agent, or by any public service corporation at the request of such owner or his agent.
4. No plat will be approved for a subdivision which is subject to periodic flooding or which contains poor drainage facilities and which would make adequate drainage of the lots and streets impossible. However, if the subdivider agrees to make improvements which will, in the opinion of the City Engineer, make the area completely safe for residential occupancy and provide adequate lot and street drainage, the preliminary plat of the subdivision may be approved.
C. All offerings or dedications of land to the City for use as streets, highways, alleys, schools, parks, playgrounds or other public uses shall be referred to the Plan Commission for review and recommendation before being accepted by the City Council.
