The division of a lot in a recorded plat is prohibited unless approved following application to the Village Council. The application shall be filed with the Village Clerk and shall state the reasons for the proposed division. The Village Council may request review and comment by the Village Planning Commission. The division to be approved by the Village Council shall have the suitability of the land for building purposes approved by the County Health Department for lots not served by public sewer and water. No building permit shall be issued, or any building construction commenced, prior to the Village Council approval. No lot in a recorded plat shall be divided into more than 4 parts and the resulting lots shall be not less in area than lots permitted by Chapter 151 of this code. The division of a lot resulting in smaller area than lots permitted in this chapter may be permitted, but only for the purpose of adding to the existing building site or sites. The application shall so state and shall be in affidavit form.
