§ 16-4. No Subdivision without Plat Approval

(A)

Unlawful to subdivide. It shall be unlawful for any person, being the owner, agent, or person having control of any land within the City, to subdivide or lay out such land in lots, unless by a plat, in accordance with the regulations contained herein, and the provisions of F.S. Ch. 177. In particular, no person may subdivide his land unless and until a final plat of the subdivision has been approved in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 4 and recorded by Lake County.

Exceptions. The following, however, shall not be subject to the regulations of this Chapter applicable strictly to subdivision:

(1)

The combination or recombination of portions of previously plated lots where the total number of lots is not increased and the resultant lots are equal to or exceed the minimum standards set forth in this Chapter.

(2)

Subject to the approval of City Council, parcels of record as of the effective date of this Chapter may be subdivided one time, without platting, into two (2) parcels, provided that both parcels conform without the necessity of a variance, to all requirements of the appropriate zoning category, and that both parcels have frontage on a public road. Said subdivision shall be recorded in the Public Records of Lake County.

(B)

Recordation of plat. Lake County may not record a plat of any subdivision within the City's jurisdiction unless the plat has been approved by the City in accordance with the provisions of this chapter.
