The platting authority may in individual cases waive the preparation, submission for approval and recording of a plat upon satisfactory evidence that a conveyance of part of a larger tract through settlement of a will or estate, bequeath of land, or other public purpose is not made for the purpose of, or in connection with, a present or projected subdivision development, and constitutes an isolated transaction which does not fall with the general intent of this title, and that no dedication of a street, alley, thoroughfare, park or other public area is involved or required. (Ord. 681 § 2, 1996)

This restriction shall appear on any such plat to be approved for recording. (Ord. 681 § 2, 1996)
