§ 150.18 APPROVAL PROCESS FOR MINOR SUBDIVISIONS.
   If the land to be subdivided meets the requirements of a minor subdivision as defined in § 150.17(B) above, the subdivider will not have to follow the same procedures as for a major subdivision. The review process for minor subdivisions shall be adequate to protect the public interest, but shall also provide minimum delay and expense to the subdivider. A preliminary plat is required. The following minor plat approval process may be used only where the subdivision meets the requirements of § 150.17(B) above.
