No permit shall be issued by the building inspector of the city on any piece of property other than an original or resubdivided lot in a duly approved and recorded subdivision, except the building inspector may issue a permit on unplatted land if the owner of such property will sign an agreement stating that he will forthwith start proceedings to have such property approved and platted in accordance with these regulations, and further acknowledges his understanding that a certificate of occupancy and all permanent connections for public utilities will be withheld until the platting of such property has been so approved and recorded.

(2) 
A tract of land so improved or so situated that to conform to the right-of-way requirements of the master thoroughfare plan would result in extraordinary loss to the property owners.
(3) 
Where improvements are necessary to comply with other ordinances of the city which carry a penalty for failure to comply.
