(a) These standards and procedures shall govern the subdivision of land, as defined herein, and the establishment of new public streets and alleys. However, when there is a division of land by deed or other instrument along an existing publicly dedicated street, not involving the opening, widening or extension of any street that results in a lot or parcel of less than five acres cut out of or separated from a larger tract, which division is not related contrary to the minimum lot requirements of the Zoning Ordinance and which, in the opinion of the Planning Commission will not interfere with desirable future subdivision of adjacent tracts, the normal subdivision procedure may be waived and the deed or other instrument of transfer may be stamped "Approved by the Village Planning Commission; no plat required" and signed by the Secretary of the Commission.
(b) Special Provision for Small Subdivision. In accordance with Ohio R.C. 711.131 the following shall govern small subdivisions:
A preliminary plan shall be required for all subdivisions, but under the conditions listed below approval of a preliminary plat by the Planning Commission shall be authorization for the subdivider to sell lots within the subdivision covered by the preliminary plan, by metes and bounds, and the requirements of a final plat shall be waived. Notwithstanding that a final plat is not required, the subdivider shall provide such improvements as are required by this chapter or such improvements which in the opinion of the Commission are necessary under the terms of this chapter. Final plans and platting shall not be required where all of the following conditions exist.
That a proposed subdivision of land along an existing public street, does not involve the opening, widening, or extension of any street or road, and involves not more than five lots after the original tract has been completely subdivided. If the Planning Commission is satisfied that such a proposed subdivision is not contrary to applicable platting, subdividing, or zoning regulations it shall within seven (7) working days after submission approve such proposed division and, on presentation of a conveyance of said parcel, shall stamp the same "approved by the Wintersville Planning Commission; no plat required" and have it signed by the Commission Secretary.
