170, Zoning, of the Code of Rappahannock County) may be effected by the agent and the Commission after review and recommendations by the Health Department Official and the Highway Engineer; however, as provided in §
147-58B, subdivisions of three lots or less shall not require review or approval by the Commission and may be approved by the agent acting alone.
The agent shall perform his duties as regards subdivision and subdividing in accordance with this chapter, Chapter
170, Zoning, as amended, and all applicable provisions of the Code of Virginia 1950, as amended.

departments in considering details of any submitted plat. This authority
by the agent shall have particular reference to the resident Highway
