§ 2-74. Subdivision regulations generally.

A. 

From and after the time when the planning and zoning commission shall have adopted a major street plan and shall have verified the same to the City council, no plat of a subdivision of land lying within the City shall be filed or recorded in the office of the county clerk until it shall have been submitted to the planning and zoning commission for recommendations and shall have been approved by the City council, and such approval entered in writing on the plat by the clerk of the City council or other designated members or employees. In exercising the powers granted to it by ordinance, the planning and zoning commission shall prepare regulations governing the subdivision of land within the City. A public hearing thereon shall be held by the City council, after which the City council may adopt such regulations for the City.

B. 

Whoever, being the owner or agent of any land located within any area for which a major street plan has been adopted by the planning and zoning commission and the City council, except land located in a recorded subdivision, transfers or sells such land without first preparing a subdivision plat and having such plat approved by the City council and recorded in the office of the county clerk shall forfeit and pay a penalty of seven hundred fifty dollars for each lot so transferred or sold, and the description of metes and bounds in the instrument of transfer or other document used in the process of selling or transferring shall not exempt the transaction from such penalties. The City council may enjoin such transfer or sale by action for injunction or may recover such penalty by civil action.
