No subdivision, land development or excavation
of any lot, tract or parcel of land shall be effected and no street,
sanitary sewer, storm sewer, water main or other facilities and public
utilities in connection therewith shall be constructed, opened or
dedicated for public use or travel, or for the common use of occupants
of buildings abutting thereon, except in strict conformance with the
provisions of this chapter.
A.
No lot in a subdivision shall be sold; no permit to
erect any building upon land in a subdivision shall be issued; and
no building shall be erected in a subdivision, unless and until a
subdivision plan has been approved and recorded and until the improvements
required by the governing body in connection therewith have either

The division of a lot containing more than one principal
structure for the purpose of transferring legal ownership of a structure
and the land on which it is situated, that involves no new land development
or new streets or the realignment of existing streets, may be considered
a minor subdivision by the governing body. In such instances, provided
that all applicable ordinances and criteria established by the municipality
are met, the governing body may waive such procedures and requirements
of this chapter as the body may deem advisable.
