Upon such approval by the Subdivision Committee, its Chairman shall indicate said approval by his signature to that effect upon the original plat and shall forward it to the Chairman of the Planning Board, who shall sign same and forthwith transmit it to the Building, Housing and Land Use Department for signature. Such signed plat shall be returned by the Building, Housing and Land Use Department to the applicant within one week after its approval by the Subdivision Committee; provided that payment has been made for the reproductions required by § 150-12 of this Article.

Building, Housing and Land Use Department.
B.

If the Subdivision Committee shall fail to unanimously determine that the application and plat submitted therewith qualify as a minor subdivision under the terms of this chapter, a notation to that effect shall be made upon the original plat by the Chairman of the Subdivision Committee. The said plat shall then be returned to the Building, Housing and Land Use Department for forwarding to the subdivider, with instructions that he perfect a major subdivision application in compliance with Articles III and IV of this chapter.
