The intent of this Article is to provide for the subdivision of a tract or lot into not more than four (4) lots, including any remainder proposed to be retained by the owner, provided that public improvements are not required and the resulting lots shall not again be divided without replatting.

C. 
The Commission shall make a determination within thirty (30) working days of the meeting at which the minor subdivision is considered and make its recommendation and findings of fact to the Board of Aldermen. If the subdivision is disapproved, the Commission shall provide the applicant with a written statement of the reasons for denial within ten (10) days of action by the Commission. The Board of Aldermen shall then proceed at their next regular or special meeting to consider for approval the proposed subdivision.
