1181.02 REVISION OF PLAT AFTER APPROVAL.

1181.03 SALE OF LAND WITHIN SUBDIVISIONS.
No owner or agent of the owner of any land located within a subdivision shall transfer or sell any land by reference to, exhibition of, or by the use of a plat of the subdivision before such plat has been approved and recorded in the manner prescribed in these regulations. Any sale or transfer contrary to the provisions of this section is void.

Any individual, firm, association, syndicate, partnership, corporation, trust, or other legal entity which violates any rule, regulation, requirement, standard, or action of the Village Council or the Planning Commission shall be subject to the penalties contained in Chapter 711 of the Ohio Revised Code and any other remedy of the law.

1181.06 VARIANCES.
(a) The following regulations shall govern the granting of variances:

(3) The purpose and intent of these regulations can be equally or better served.
(b) In granting variances or exceptions, the Planning Commission may require such conditions as it deems necessary to substantially satisfy the purpose and intent of these regulations. A variance or exception may be denied if the variance or exception is merely for the subdivider's convenience, such as when land is not useable or to correct an error or poor judgement of the subdivider, or in instances where the only justification is that compliance with these regulations would add to the development costs.
