   (a)   Whoever, being the owner or agent of the owner of any land located within the jurisdiction of these Regulations, willfully transfers any lot or parcel of such land in accordance with any plat of a subdivision before such plat has been recorded, shall forfeit and pay a sum not less than one hundred dollars ($100.00) nor more than five hundred dollars ($500.00) for each lot or parcel of land sold. The description of such lot or parcel by metes and bounds in the deed of transfer shall not serve to exempt the seller from the forfeiture herein provided for. The Village may enjoin such sale or agreement by a civil action in any court of competent jurisdiction.
 
   (b)   The sale of lots or parcels from a plat of a subdivision on which any and all areas indicated as streets or as open ground are expressly indicated as for the exclusive use of the abutting or other owners in such subdivision and not as public streets, ways or grounds, shall not serve to exempt the seller from the requirements of these Regulations or from the forfeiture herein provided for.
