(A)
All subdivisions shall be considered major subdivisions except those defined as minor subdivisions in this section. Application for a minor or major subdivision may be made by the landowner, a lessee or person holding an option or contract to purchase or lease land, or an authorized agent of the landowner. An easement holder may also apply for a minor or major subdivision as is authorized by the easement. Approval of a minor or major subdivision runs with the land. Major subdivisions shall be reviewed in accordance with the procedures in §§ 152.49 through 152.51. Minor subdivisions shall be reviewed in accordance with the provisions in § 152.48. However, if the subdivider owns, leases, holds an option on, or holds any legal or equitable interest in any property adjacent to or located directly across a street, easement, road, or right-of-way from the property to be subdivided, the subdivision shall not qualify under the abbreviated procedure. Furthermore, the abbreviated procedure may not be used a second time within three years on any property less than 1,500 feet from the original property boundary by anyone who owned, had an option on, or any legal interest in the original subdivision at the time the subdivision received preliminary or final plat approval.
(B) A minor subdivision is defined as one involving no new public or private streets or roads, or right-of-way dedication, no easements, extension of public water or sewer facilities, where the entire tract to be subdivided is five acres or less in size, and where four or fewer lots result after the subdivision is completed.
