(1) The division of land into parcels, sites or lots of more than five acres, not involving and new streets or access easements, provided that each parcel created complies with the minimum lot size for meets all zoning ordinance requirements;
(2) A resubdivision which involves only the removal of interior lot lines, with the outside perimeter of the property remaining unchanged, resulting in fewer parcels than were contained in the original parcel;
(3) A resubdivision which involves only the changing of notations written on the plat or correction of errors thereon;
(4) A division of land pursuant to an allocation of land by court decree;
(5) The division of land into cemetery plots;
