' This Resolution regulates the subdivision of lands in Indian River County, Florida, which lie outside the territorial limits of any municipality. It is adopted pursuant to the authority vested in this board by Chapter 29155, Laws of Florida, Acts of 1953, and it is applicable to any such lands comprising one acre or more which is platted into lots, blocks, tracts, parcels or other portions however designated so as to comprise three or more to the acre. In accordance with the provisions of that law, any owner or owners of such lands is prohibited from dividing such lands or selling the same by lots or units by metes and bounds description in order to circumvent the provi- sions of that act and this Resolution; provided, however, that any lands may be divided and sold in any manner if after such division all of the same border upon an existing street or public road. In its interpretation and application the provisions of this Resolution shall be held to be the minimum requirements adopted for the protection of the public health, safety and welfare. To protect the public, among other purposes, these provisions are intended to provide for permanently wholesome community environ- ment, adequate services, proper drai nage and safe streets. This Resolution shall not apply to any land forming a part of a subdivision created and recorded prior to the original effec- tive date of this Resolution but it shall apply to any resub- dividing, and shall be effective for all subdivisions which do not have preliminary approval, or final plat approval one hundred and eighty days (180) from the date of ad option. '(See Section XII.) It is not intended by this Resolution to repeal, abrogate, annul or in any way impair or interfere with existing provisions of other laws or resolutions except those specifically repealed by this Resolution, or with private restrictions placed upon property by deed, covenant or other private agreement or with restrictive covenants running with the land to which the County is a party. Where this Resolution imposes a greater restriction upon land than is imposed or required by such existing provisions, the provisions of this Resolution shall control. " 2. Section VII -15 is amended to read: "Private streets are allowed, provided the County finds that the same will not be required as public streets in the over- all County plan. There shall be no maintenance or improve - ments of private streets by the County. When private streets are permitted, the subdivider is not required to comply with any of the requirements of this Resolution which are applicable to streets to be dedicated as public rights of ways.
