The provisions of these Regulations shall apply to all plats, subdivisions and conveyances of land in the City or within three miles of the corporate limits thereof as described in Ohio R.C. 711.09. The Planning Commission shall have the power of final approval of the plats, except that the provisions of Chapter 1157 within the three-mile radius shall be the jurisdiction of the County Engineer.
(a) No person shall subdivide or lay out into lots any land within the Municipality or the three-mile area unless it is done by a plat complying with the regulations herein contained, and no plat shall be recorded and no lot or land shall be sold from any such plat until such plat has been approved as herein required.
(b) The design and layout of all subdivisions shall conform with the requirements of these Regulations. The subdivider shall make improvements and shall submit preliminary and final plans, all in accordance with these Regulations.
(c) The division of a tract into five parcels or less, fronting upon an existing street, and where the transfer is to be accomplished by the recording of a deed rather than a plat, requires the approval of the Planning Commission before it can be recorded. Such approval may be accomplished in the manner provided in these Regulations.
