§ 154.20 APPROVAL AND RECORDATION REQUIRED.
   (A)   No land shall be subdivided nor any construction or improvements such as streets, storm drainage or grubbing and grading, as related to the subdivision of land and the development thereof, be initiated until the Subdivision Enforcement Officer has issued a subdivision permit for the work. A valid tentatively approved preliminary plat of the land involved shall be prerequisite to the issuance of a subdivision permit by the Subdivision Enforcement Officer.
   (B)   Similarly, proposed subdivisions must comply in all respects with the requirements of Chapter 155 in effect in the area to be subdivided, and any other officially adopted plans.
(`94 Code, App. B, Art. II, § 1)
   (C)   Within six months after the final plat has been approved by the Board of Aldermen, it shall have been recorded with the County Register of Deeds. Should the six-month time limit expire before the plat is recorded, it must be resubmitted. Upon the filing of the ordinance codified in this regulation with the register of deeds, the register of deeds shall not thereafter file or record a plat of a subdivision located within the territorial jurisdiction of the town until the plat has been approved by the town. The filing or recording of a subdivision plat without approval of the Board of Aldermen as required by this regulation shall be null and void. The County Clerk of Superior Court shall not order or direct the recording of a plat where the recording would be in conflict with this regulation.
   (D)   The sale or transfer of land within a subdivision is prohibited until the plat has been approved by the Board of Aldermen and has been properly recorded.
