A. Registered Land Surveys: It is the intention of this title that all registered land surveys in the city should be presented to the planning commission in the form of a preliminary plat in accordance with the standards set forth in this title for preliminary plats and that the planning commission shall first approve the arrangement, sizes, and relationship of proposed tracts in such registered land surveys, and that tracts to be used as easements or roads should be so dedicated. Unless a recommendation and approval have been obtained from the planning commission and city council respectively, in accordance with the standards set forth in this title, building permits will be withheld for buildings on tracts which have been so subdivided by registered land surveys, and the city may refuse to take over tracts as streets or roads or to improve, repair or maintain any such tracts unless so approved.
B. Conveyance By Metes And Bounds: No conveyance of a parcel in which the land conveyed, as described by metes and bounds, shall be made or recorded if the parcel described in the conveyance consists of five (5) acres or less in area and three hundred feet (300') in width unless such parcel was a separate parcel of record at the effective date of this title. Building permits will be withheld for buildings or tracts which have been subdivided and conveyed by this method, and the city may refuse to take over tracts as streets or roads or to improve, repair or maintain any such tracts.
