(1) The division of any parcel of land shown as a unit or as contiguous units on the last preceding tax roll, into two or more parcels, sites or lots, any one of which is less than five (5) acres for the purpose, whether immediate or future, of transfer of ownership; provided, however, that the division or partition of land into parcels of more than five acres not involving any new streets or easements of access, and the sale or exchange of parcels between adjoining lot owners, where such sale or exchange does not create additional building sites, shall be exempted; or
(2) The improvement of one or more parcels of land for residential, commercial or industrial structures or groups of structures involving the division or allocation of land for the opening, widening or extension of any street or streets, except private streets serving industrial structures; the division or allocation of land as open spaces for common use by owners, occupants or lease holders or as easements for the extension and maintenance of public sewer, water, storm drainage or other public facilities.

(a) Where a proposed division of a parcel of land along an existing public street, not involving the opening, widening or extension of any street or road and involving no more than five lots after the original tract has been completely subdivided such proposed division shall be submitted to Council for approval.

Council shall determine within forty-five days after submission if such proposed consolidation and/or division is not contrary to applicable platting, subdividing or zoning regulations, and whether the method of drainage indicated is approved by the City Engineer. If so determined, Council shall approve such proposed consolidation and/or division and shall direct the Clerk to execute the document.
