The Town of Pittsville shall have the power to regulate all
subdivisions or resubdivisions of land within the town. For the purpose
of making this power effective, no plat or plan of any subdivision
or resubdivision within the town shall be recorded among the land
records of Wicomico County by the Clerk of the Circuit Court for Wicomico
County until the plat or plan has been approved in writing by the
Pittsville Planning Commission and such approval endorsed on said
plat or plan. The Commissioners shall have the power to prescribe
rules and regulations governing the filing of plats and plans, the
erection of permanent markers wherever necessary, the supplying of
necessary topographical data, the layout and construction of proposed
streets, the establishment of building lines and zoning regulations
and such other things as they may deem necessary for the proper control
of subdivisions or resubdivisions. No public way shall be accepted
for public use and ownership unless the plat and location thereof
shall have been submitted to and approved in writing by the Pittsville
Planning Commission.
