B.
The division or allocation of land or space, whether initially or
cumulatively, between or among two or more existing or prospective
occupants by means of, or for the purpose of, streets, common areas,

This exclusion shall not apply to newly acquired acreage by an amusement
park until initial plats for the expanded area have been approved
by proper authorities.
