1335.01 APPROVAL.
   A final plat of a subdivision shall not be recorded by the County Clerk unless it has first been approved, dated, and stamped by the Planning Commission.
   (a)   The filing and recording of a plat involving the subdivision of lands covered by the Subdivision Regulations shall be without legal effect unless approved by the Commission; provided, that failure to obtain Commission approval shall not invalidate or affect the title to any land within the area of such plat; provided, however, that if such plat shall bear the seal of the Commission it shall be presumed to have been approved thereby.
   (b)   Prior to the approval of the final plat, the subdivider shall have installed or constructed all improvements as detailed in the City of Mannington Design and Construction Standards Manual as referenced in Article 1343.
   (c)   For purposes of this article "subdivision" as used herein shall not include the division of land by adjoining property owners to effect a boundary adjustment if the same does not result in additional lots and if the tract, parcel or lot divided becomes a part of the adjoining lot or lots, provided, however, that no such division shall serve to create any condition which does not otherwise comply with the terms and provisions of the ordinances of the City. Also, "subdivision" shall not include the subdivision as a result of a partition of land by an appropriate court of law or the division of land for public purposes such as public schools, parks, roads and utility systems.
