(a)
Use of certified survey map. When it is proposed to divide land into at least two but no more than four parcels or building sites, or when it is proposed to create by land division not more than four parcels or building sites within a recorded subdivision plat without changing the exterior boundaries of a block, lot or out lot, or when it is proposed to divide any number of parcels greater than 1½ acres in size (thus not constituting a "subdivision" as defined in this article), the subdivider shall prepare a certified survey map in accordance with this article and shall file 15 copies of the map and the letter of application with the City Clerk-Treasurer at least 15 days prior to the meeting of the Plan Commission at which action is desired.
(b)
Referral to plan commission. The City Clerk-Treasurer shall, within two normal work days after filing, transmit the copies of the map and letter of application to the Plan Commission.

The map shall be reviewed by the Plan Commission for conformance with this article and all rules, regulations, comprehensive plans, comprehensive plan components and neighborhood plans.
(d)
Review and approval. The Plan Commission shall, within 30 days from the date of filing of the certified survey map, recommend approval, conditional approval or rejection of the map and shall transmit the map along with its recommendations to the Common Council.
