(a) Notwithstanding the provisions set forth above, a proposed division of a parcel of land, which does not constitute a subdivision as defined in Section 1131.07 (also known as a lot split), may be submitted to the Commission without a plat to be recorded.
(b) The owner shall submit a plat map showing the division of such land in graphic dimensional form. This map shall be certified by a registered surveyor as to its correctness and shall contain information as is pertinent to its determination hereunder. In addition, the owner at the time of such submission shall also furnish evidence that such proposed division has been approved by any County, State or Federal agencies which are required by law to approve such proposed division and shall also furnish evidence of suitability for development of each lot pursuant to the provisions of Section 1137.04, which provisions are hereby made specifically applicable to a lot split.
(c) The Commission may recommend that Council approve the proposed conveyance if it is satisfied that such division is not contrary to these Regulations or the Zoning Code, or any rule or regulation which the Commission has adopted for the processing of such divisions or the conduct of its business.
(d) When the Council is satisfied that the information submitted is sufficient for its determination, it shall decide upon such plat. Evidence of approval by the Council will be indicated by a stamp or statement reading: "Approved by the Council, Village of Gates Mills, Ohio - No Plat Required". The plat map of the division which has been thus stamped, dated and signed by both the Clerk of Council and the Village Engineer shall constitute approval under this section.
(e) The owner shall produce written proof that such conveyance has been submitted for recording in the office of the County Recorder within sixty days of such approval; otherwise, the approval provided for herein shall be null and void.
