§ 62-4. Compliance with chapter.

Because each new subdivision accepted by the city becomes a permanent unit in the basic physical structure of the future community, and to which the future community will, of necessity, be forced to adhere, all subdivisions planned within the incorporated limits of the city and within the unincorporated area lying one-half mile beyond but under the jurisdiction of the city as provided by statute shall, in all respects, be in full compliance with the regulations contained in this chapter and in conformity with the comprehensive plan of the city. Notwithstanding the provisions of an act to revise the law in relation to plats (765 ILCS 205/0.01 et seq.), all subdivisions of real estate within the city shall be in conformance with the provisions of this chapter; provided, however, that where a proposed subdivision involves the sale or exchange of parcels of land between owners of adjoining and contiguous land, the subdivision shall be subject to the following requirements at the expense of the owners:

(1)

Full compliance with the provisions of the city zoning ordinance and this chapter;

(2)

Submission of plats of survey illustrating the newly divided lots;

(3)

Review of all deeds and plats by the director of engineering and their approval by the city council; and

(4)

Recording the deeds and plats in the office of the county recorder of deeds.
