§ 30-9. Violations and penalty.

(a)

The submission for filing or the recording of a subdivision plat or other land development plan without proper approval as required by this chapter is declared a misdemeanor and shall be punished as provided in S.C. Code 1976, tit. 6, ch. 29.

(b)

The owner or agent of the owner of any property being developed within the town may not transfer title to any lots or parts of the development unless the land development plan or subdivision has been approved by the planning commission and an approved plan or plat recorded in the Office of Mesne Conveyance for Charleston County. A transfer of a title in violation of this provision is a misdemeanor and, upon conviction, must be punished in the discretion of the court. A description by metes and bounds in the instrument of transfer or other document used in the process of transfer does not exempt the transaction from these penalties.

(c)

The planning commission shall by proper certificate approve and authorize the name of a street or road laid out within the town over which the commission has jurisdiction. It is unlawful for a person in laying out a new street or road to name the street or road on a plat, by a making or in a deed or instrument without first getting the approval of the planning commission. Any person violating this provision is guilty of a misdemeanor and, upon conviction, must be punished in the discretion of the court.
