(A) This chapter, which was enacted pursuant to the state’s home rule and planning enabling legislation (I.C. Titles 36-1-3-4 and the 36-7-4-700 series, as amended), authorizes the town’s Plan Commission to review and approve or disapprove plats for subdivision within the jurisdiction of the town that show lots, blocks, or sites with or without new streets or highways. With regard to this chapter, their authority and jurisdiction shall include the corporate limits and the unincorporated area within the two-mile planning limits of the town, as may be amended by subsequent annexation, except as specified in division (C) below. This authority extends to the development or redevelopment of undeveloped portions of previously recorded plats.
(B) No improvement location permit, building permit, or certificate of occupancy shall be issued for any parcel or plat of land which was created by subdivision after the effective date of, and not in conformity with, the provisions of these subdivision regulations; and no excavation of land or construction of any public or private improvements shall take place or be commenced except in conformance with the regulations contained herein and including the construction standards adopted by the town.
(C) With respect to road standards for any subdivision development outside the town limits, but within the two-mile fringe planning jurisdiction of the town, the applicant shall be bound and governed by the more restrictive or stringent of either the town’s subdivision construction standards or those of the county or the City of Madison, whichever is applicable.
