equired. As is the case for Minor Subdivisions, the statute allows for the submission ofa sketch and other information that is pertinent for determining if the parcel should beapproved.The administrative official must stamp the conveyance "approved by (planning authority)no plat required" and have it signed by the administrative official. We suggest that thestamp actually read, "approved by (planning authority); no plat required under R.C.711.133."It is also suggested that approvals of Minor Subdivisions be stamped "approved by(planning authority); no plat required under R.C. 711.131” in an effort to distinguish thetwo types of approvals without a plat. Likewise, those parcels that are within the rangespecified in the Large Lot Development Rules which are exempt under the agriculturaland personal recreational purposes exemption should be stamped "no approval or platrequired under R.C. 711.133; for agricultural or personal recreational use only."88.21 LARGE LOT DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS PERTAINING TO LOTFRONTAGE AND WIDTH TO DEPTH RATIOSAs was mentioned in a previous section, one of the criteria for the approval of lotssubject to Large Lot Development Rules is compliance with lot frontage requirementsand width-to-depth ratios.

In this case the statute providesthat the administrative officer is to stamp the conveyance "no approval or plat requiredunder R.C. 711.133; for agricultural and personal recreational use only."While the statute is silent on how a determination is made if a parcel qualifies for theagricultural and personal recreational use exemption, it does specify that parcels15
