No conveyance of land to which this title is applicable shall be filed or recorded if the land is described in the conveyance by metes and bounds or by reference to an unapproved registered land survey made after June 4, 1971, or to an unapproved plat made after such regulations become effective. This subsection B1 does not apply to a conveyance if the land described: (Prior Code § 21-10-3)

In any case in which compliance with the foregoing restrictions will create an unnecessary hardship and failure to comply does not interfere with the purposes of the subdivision regulations, the City Council may waive such compliance under the provisions of this title and the conveyance may then be filed or recorded.
