B. 
No permit will be issued by any administrative officer of the Town or the county for the construction of any building or other improvements requiring a permit upon any land concerned for which a plat is required by this chapter, unless and until the requirements of this chapter have been complied with.

When this chapter calls for more restrictive standards than are required by private contracts the provisions of this chapter shall control.
