Wherever any subdivision of land shall be laid out within the incorporated limits of the City or within the contiguous unincorporated territory not more than one and one-half (11/2) miles beyond the incorporated boundaries of the City, the subdivider thereof or his agent shall submit both a preliminary and a final subdivision plat to the City for its approval. The subdivision plats and all procedures relating thereto shall in all respects be in full compliance with these regulations.
Until preliminary plats and plans for the subdivision are approved:
A. No land shall be subdivided nor any street laid out nor any improvements made to the natural land.
B. No lot, tract or parcel of land within any subdivision shall be offered for sale nor shall any sale or contract for sale be made or given.
C. No improvements, such as sidewalks, water supply, storm water drainage, sanitary sewerage facilities, gas service, electric service, lighting, grading, paving or surfacing of streets, shall be made by any owner or owners or his or their agent or by any public service corporation at the request of such owner or owners or his or their agent. (1976 Code §25-1-4)
D. No plat will be approved for a subdivision which is subject to periodic flooding or which contains poor drainage facilities and which would make adequate drainage of the lots and streets impossible. However, if the subdivider agrees to make improvements which will, in the opinion of the City Engineer, make the area safe for occupancy and provide adequate lot and street drainage, the subdivision may then be approved.
