The regulations may include requirements as to the extent and manner in which the streets of the subdivision or any designated portions thereto shall be graded and improved as well as including requirements as to the extent and manner of the installation of all utility facilities, and compliance with all of the requirements is a conditions precedent to the approval of the plat.

The ground of disapproval of any plat by the Commission shall be made a matter of record.
[CC 1993 § 40.140]

The said City of Glasgow may enjoin or vacate the transfer or sale or agreement by legal action, and may recover the penalty in such action.
[CC 1993 § 40.160]
A. 
Upon adoption of a major street plan and subdivision regulations, the said City of Glasgow shall not accept, lay out, open, improve, grade, pave or light any street, lay or authorize the laying of water mains, sewers, connections or other utilities in any street within such City unless the street has received the legal status of a public street prior to the adoption of a City plan; or unless the street corresponds in its location and lines with a street shown on a subdivision plat approved by the Board of Aldermen or City Planning and Zoning Commission or on a street plan made by and adopted by the Commission.
