(1) The proposed subdivision is located along an existing public road, and involves no opening, widening, or extension of any street or roadway.
(2) Not more than five (5) lots are involved after the original parcel has been completely subdivided.
(3) The proposed subdivision is not contrary to applicable subdivision or zoning regulations.
(4) The property has been surveyed by a professional surveyor, and a plat shall indicate the size of the parcel, at a minimum scale of one inch equals fifty feet, unless otherwise authorized; existing and proposed rights-of-way within 100 feet; existing and proposed ownership; any existing parcel within 100 feet, its owner and size; a north arrow; and the professional surveyor's signature and seal; on reproducible linen or mylar no smaller than eleven by seventeen inches.
