(Ord. No. 12-03, § 2(3-181), 6-20-2012)

Whenever property is subdivided, a plat must be recorded, with the exception of the following:

(1)

Public dedications. A plat will not be required where the subdivision:

a.

Consists only of the dedication of a road, highway, street, alley, or easement.

b.

It is found by the town council that in these circumstances it is not necessary that a plat be recorded. In lieu of the recording of a plat, the dedication may be by deed, and may require conditions as deemed appropriate under the particular circumstances; such as improvements of sidewalks, streets, or drainage facilities or the acceptance of the dedication by the town council. The posting of a bond or irrevocable letter of credit may also be required.

(2)

Number of parcels. A plat will not be required where the land to be subdivided is to be divided into no more than six parcels and because of the isolation or remoteness of the land concerned in relation to other platted or improved lands or improvements and dedications already exist on the land and are substantially in accordance with the requirements of this article and chapter 28 of the Miami-Dade County Code.

(3)

Replat of unusual tracts. Plat recordation shall not be required in cases where previously subdivided tracts are to be replated, if such tracts are of such unusual size or shape or are surrounded by development or unusual conditions to justify, in the opinion of the community development department, the waiver of plat recordation requirements. In lieu of platting, the department may require any dedications, reservations, or improvements required in connection with platting under this chapter, including, but not limited to, the posting of a performance and maintenance bond, or an irrevocable letter of credit as may be necessary to carry out the intent and purpose of these subdivision regulations.
