(A) Conveyances by metes and bounds shall be prohibited, except when authorized by variance, where the lot or lots involved are less than five acres in area or have a width of less than 300 feet at the building setback line.
(B) No building permit shall be issued for any structure on any parcel of land less than five acres in area and having a width of less than 300 feet on an improved public street, at the building setback line which is described by metes and bounds, until a certificate of survey by a registered land surveyor describing that parcel of land is filed with the County Recorder and proof thereof is furnished to the local City Council.
(C) When a conveyance by metes and bounds is made and the parcels involved are between 5 acres and 20 acres in size, a certificate of survey by a registered land surveyor of the parcels involved shall be submitted to the City Manager-Clerk before any building permits will be issued for those parcels, and a copy of the survey should be attached to the deed when it is submitted to the County Recorder for recording.
(D) In any case in which compliance with the foregoing restrictions will create any unnecessary hardship and failure to comply does not interfere with the purpose of this regulation, the City Council may waive compliance by adoption of a resolution to that effect, and the conveyance may then be filed or recorded.
