Divisions of land not considered a subdivision as defined in
this chapter shall be exempt from compliance with the requirements
of this chapter only after affirmative action by the Planning Board.
Such action shall be taken following submission of documentation to
the Planning Board showing the division of land for agricultural purposes
where all resulting parcels are five acres or larger in size; divisions
by testamentary or intestate provisions; divisions of property by
court order; and conveyances so as to combine existing lots by deed
or other instrument; and conveyance of one or more adjoining lots,
tracts or parcels of land, owned by the same person or persons and
all of which are found and certified by the Zoning Officer to conform
to the requirements of the municipal development regulations and are
shown and designated as separate lots, tracts or parcel on the tax
map or atlas of the municipality, as the case may be. Until exempted
from the subdivision regulations by the approving authority, no person
shall transfer, sell or agree to transfer sell, as owner or agent,
any land which forms part of a subdivision for which approval is required.
