(a) No lot, outlot or other parcel in a recorded subdivision plat shall be further divided or changed without the written approval of the Village Council in accordance with the procedures set forth in this section. No division of unplatted land within the Village into more than four parcels of land of ten acres or less shall be permitted without the written approval of the Village Council in accordance with the procedures set forth in this section.

The application shall be accompanied by a scaled drawing depicting the original parcel, the proposed division, existing buildings, utilities, easements, drainage, all pertinent dimensions, legal descriptions of the new parcels created by the division and such other pertinent data as the Clerk shall request. Accuracy shall be certified by a licensed and registered land surveyor.
(c) No lot, outlot or other parcel in a recorded subdivision plat or unplatted land shall be divided into more than four new lots of ten acres or less in size. The new lots shall be buildable sites and shall conform to the minimum standards for area, width and depth according to the zoning requirements for the district in which the lots are located, provided, however, that if existing lots which do not conform to these minimum standards are being realigned to create larger lots, this requirement may be waived by the Village Council.
(d) The Village Clerk shall deliver the application to the Planning Commission, which shall determine compliance herewith and with the Subdivision Control Act. Upon completion of the review, and provided that all taxes and special assessments on the original parcel have been paid, the Planning Commission shall recommend approval or rejection of the application to the Village Council.

(f) In the case of an application for a parcel division of nonresidential property, the Planning Commission may require submittal of a site plan conforming to the standards of the Village Zoning Code. Such site plan shall indicate potential development of the parcel, either as an independent parcel or in conjunction with abutting land owned by the applicant.
(g) Upon approval by the Village of a land division pursuant to this section, the Clerk shall notify the Assessor and such division shall be noted upon the Village assessment roll and thereafter the divided portions of the lot, outlot or parcel shall be considered to be separate for tax assessment and all other purposes. If portions of the lot have been added to another lot, outlot or parcel, the enlarged area shall be considered to be a single lot for tax assessment and all other purposes.
