1. Shall be amended to include the following:
18.03.01. F. If a parcel to be divided contains less than forty (40) acres but is described by the rectangular survey system as a quarter-quarter section, in common ownership, the tract shall be considered eligible for an equal split of the parcel (see Section 18, Subdivision 18.06.02. Exceptions, Part D – Nominal Forty Subdivisions). A parcel divided under this provision shall be reviewed and acted upon by the Joint Planning Board.
18.03.02. Any of the above transfers of land shall require a certificate of compliance duly executed by the Town Clerk after approval by the Town Board – unless noted in Section 18.06.02.F - prior to recording of the land transfer in the County Recorder's Office.
18.06.02 D. Nominal Forty Subdivisions. For nominal forty-acre parcels - described as a quarter-quarter section – that are found by Certificate of Survey to be less than forty acres, the Joint Planning Board may approve a subdivision into two equal parcels by Metes and Bounds description. The Joint Planning Board, as with Minor Subdivisions, has discretion as to the supplementary information required. Parcels that are less than forty acres due only to nominal error or physical change, or previous dedication of rights-of-way, may qualify. The subdivider may be required to convey necessary rights-of-way to the Town upon subdivision.
