It shall be unlawful for any person to subdivide any land within the town of Manila whether by sale, conveyance, gift, delivery or recording of a plat, deed or other legal instrument or by any other means except in accordance with the provisions of the Utah Municipal Land Use Development and Management Act and this title.

The town shall withhold building or occupancy permits with respect to any land which has been subdivided in violation of the provisions of this title.

In addition to any other remedy that the town may have, the town may maintain an action in a court of competent jurisdiction for an order to enjoin, injunction, mandamus, and abate any violation of this title.

It shall be unlawful to sell any tract of land, including an entire platted lot or separately described tract, if a violation of the applicable dimensional requirements of the town’s zoning ordinance will result from such sale by virtue of a change in dimensions of any building site.

An owner of any land located in a subdivision, as defined in this title, who transfers or sells any land in that subdivision before a plat of the subdivision has been approved and recorded violates this title for each lot or parcel transferred or sold.

Any person convicted by a court of competent jurisdiction for a violation of any provision of this title shall be guilty of a Class B misdemeanor.

Nothing in this title shall prevent the restoration of a building or structure on a nonconforming lot destroyed by fire, wind storm, flood, explosion or act of public enemy or accident, or prevent the continuance of the use thereof as it existed at the time of such destruction; provided, that restoration begins within one year of such destruction and there are no life, safety and health violations.

The mayor is authorized as the enforcing officer for this title and shall enforce all provisions, entering actions in court if necessary, and by his failure to do so shall not legalize any violations of such provisions. The town council may, by resolution or ordinance, from time to time entrust administration of this title in whole or in part to another officer of the town without amendment to this title.
