(A) The City Assessor or other designee shall approve or disapprove the land division applied for within 45 days after receipt of a complete application conforming to the requirements of this subchapter and the state’s Land Division Act, and shall promptly notify the applicant of the decision, and if denied, the reasons for denial.
(B) Any person or entity aggrieved by the decision of the Assessor or other designee may, within 30 days of said decision, appeal the decision to the City Council or such other body or person designated by the City Council, which shall consider and resolve such appeal by a majority vote of the Council or by the appellate designee at its next regular meeting or session affording sufficient time for a 20-day written notice to the applicant of the time and date of said meeting and appellate hearing.
(C) The Assessor or other designee shall maintain an official record of all approved and accomplished land divisions or transfers.
(D) Approval of a division is not a determination that the resulting parcels comply with other ordinances or regulations, including, but not limited to, zoning ordinances, Building Codes, Health Department Codes, or similar ordinances or regulations, or that the resulting parcels are suitable for building or development.
(E) The city and its officers and employees shall not be liable for approving a land division if the building permits for construction on the parcels are subsequently denied because of inadequate water supply, sewage disposal facilities, non-compliance with zoning ordinances or otherwise, and any notice of approval shall include a statement to this effect.
