A.
These regulations shall govern the subdivision of land within the

complying with these regulations and obtaining approval of the final
plat for the proposed subdivision as evidenced by the endorsement
of such plat and recording of the endorsed final plat in the office
of the Monroe County Clerk.

the erection of a permanent building in such proposed subdivision
shall be granted, and before any subdivision plat may be filed in
the office of the Monroe County Clerk, the subdivider shall apply
for and secure approval of such proposed subdivision in accordance
with the provisions of these regulations and other applicable provisions
of law.
