(A) It shall be unlawful for any person, firm, or corporation to subdivide any land within the corporate limits of the City of Monticello or any unincorporated area within 1-1/2 miles of the city’s corporate limits without following the procedures, satisfying the requirements of and meeting or exceeding the standards specified in this code; provided, however, the provisions of this code shall not apply in the following instances:
(1) Conveyances of a lot comprising and containing all contiguous property owned by a person, group of persons, firm, or entity, as a single parcel, to some other person, group of persons, firm, or entity;
(2) To the offer, sale, or conveyance of 1 or more lots of record;
(3) To the sale or exchange of parcels of land between the owners of adjoining and contiguous property which, if subject to the requirements of this code, would not necessitate the dedication of public right-of-way or installation of public utilities; provided that the transfer shall not create a lot which does not meet minimum requirements of this code;
(4) To conveyances made to correct discrepancies in prior conveyances;
(5) To conveyances of land relating to the dedication of land for public use or interest relating to or arising from the vacation of land impressed with a public use; and
(6) To conveyances of land, the principal use of which is presently agricultural and intended to be used principally for future agricultural purposes.
(B) In addition, it shall be unlawful for any person, firm, or corporation to develop, build on, use, or improve any lot without dedicating the street right-of-way as would have been required by this chapter, if the lot had been subdivided from a larger parcel immediately prior to the development, construction, use, or improvement.
(C) The obligation to comply with this subdivision code will be waived by the city where units are created pursuant to the Illinois Condominium Property Act being ILCS Ch. 765, Act 605, except where “foot-print” lots are created which are equal to or larger than the individual units and a fee interest is conveyed in the underlying property.
