No land shall be subdivided for residential, commercial, industrial, or public use:

The Planning Commission shall not approve any plat unless all streets shown thereon shall be of width and grade as set forth in Appendix A following the text of these Regulations, and shall be so located as to accommodate the projected volume of traffic thereon, afford adequate light and air, facilitate fire protection, provide access of fire-fighting equipment to buildings, provide adequate community safety and provide a coordinated system of streets, conforming to the Municipality's plan of streets. A subdivision abutting and having its access upon a public street which does not meet the width requirements of Table I in Appendix A shall not be approved, unless the applicant can demonstrate through traffic studies and alternative design proposal that a suitable alternative is acceptable. In considering suitable alternatives, the Planning Commission and/or Chief Zoning Officer may request any additional information needed to evaluate the application and shall have the authority to impose appropriate conditions.

No person, firm, or corporation proposing to make, or having made a subdivision within the area of jurisdiction of these regulations, shall proceed with any grading before obtaining from the Planning Commission the approval of the preliminary plat of the proposed subdivision, and no deeds shall be recorded for lots in any subdivision before obtaining from the Planning Commission the approval of the final plat of the proposed subdivision.
