The platting authority may in individual cases waive the preparation, submission for approval and recording of a plat upon satisfactory evidence that a conveyance of part of a larger tract through settlement of a will or estate, bequeath of land, or other public purpose is not made for the purpose of, or in connection with, a present or projected subdivision development, and constitutes an isolated transaction which does not fall with the general intent of this title, and that no dedication of a street, alley, thoroughfare, park or other public area is involved or required.

No lot, tract or parcel within any major subdivision or part of any other plat requiring public improvements may be conveyed until served by road, electricity and where accessible municipal water and sewer, and said improvements have been inspected, approved and accepted for maintenance by the city. This restriction shall appear on any such plat to be approved for recording.
