A subdivision is classified as minor subdivision if it comprises the division of a parcel of land along an existing public street not involving the opening, widening or extension of any street or road, not involving the installation of any underground public utilities and not involving more than five (5) lots after the original tract and all the contiguous land owned by the subdivider has been completely subdivided.

(1) The Chief Building Official shall review the application for completeness in accordance with Chapter 1113.
(2) Once the application is determined complete, the Chief Building Official shall transmit the application to the Planning Commission.
(3) The Commission shall approve or disapprove the application within thirty (30) days of filing the application or within such longer period of time as the applicant may agree in writing.
(b) Review and Approval. The Commission shall approve the proposed minor subdivisions if the Commission finds after reviewing the proposed division of land and receiving a report from the Engineer that:

(2) The sketch plan is properly coordinated with adjoining development and adjoining unplatted land; and
(3) The sketch plan complies with the land planning criteria and other provisions of these Subdivision Regulations and other codes and plans of the Municipality applying to minor subdivisions.
