The commission may prepare and recommend to the city council for adoption rules and regulations governing subdivision of land within the city limits. All plans, plats and replats of land laid out in two (2) or more lots, plats or parcels, or streets or alleys, or other ways intended to be dedicated for public use shall be first submitted to the commission for its recommendations. The commission shall check the proposed dedication or subdivision to ensure compliance with the comprehensive plan. The disapproval of any plan, plat or replat by the city shall be deemed the refusal of the dedication thereon. No plat or replat of subdivision of land, or dedication of street or alley, or other easement shall be entitled to record unless it bears the signature of the mayor, attested by the city clerk, certifying the approval and acceptance by the city council.
