§ 168-6. Definitions.
As used in this article, the word "subdivision" shall mean any tract of land which is hereafter
divided into five or more parcels along an existing or proposed street, highway, easement or
right-of-way for sale or rent as building plots, whether or not the lot or plots to be sold or
offered for sale or leased for any period of time are described by metes and bounds or by
reference to a map or survey of the property or by any other method of description.
§ 168-7. Approval of subdivisions.
Any person who shall engage in the development of a subdivision shall first submit to the
Commissioner a detailed plan or plot of the subdivision, together with such other information
relating to the nature of the terrain, adjacent private or public water supplies and any other
pertinent information as may be required, including a statement regarding the methods
proposed for providing water supply and for the disposal of sewage and other wastes. No such
subdivision or portion thereof shall be sold, offered for sale, leased or rented by a corporation,
company or person and no use thereof involving water supply and sewage disposal shall be
undertaken thereon until a plan or plot of such subdivision shall have been filed with and
approved by the Commissioner. The plan or plot shall comply with the aforesaid
requirements, except that the Commissioner may in his discretion accept a less detailed plan
or plot, but containing such information as he may require. If approved, the installation of
such facilities shall be in accordance with the plan or plot as approved, or any approved
revision or revisions thereof. If, in the judgment of the Commissioner, the proposed method of
providing water supply or sewage disposal would be or might become inadequate or would
endanger the public health by reason of unfavorable topography, drainage, soil, density of
population or any other sanitary or physical feature, the Commissioner may refuse such
approval. The determination of the Commissioner in refusing such approval shall be final. 3

Commissioner.
§ 168-9. Commissioner's approval required for filing.
