Any map, plat, replat, or plan hereafter made of a proposed division of land pursuant to these standards, or any part thereof, shall be presented for approval and be recorded as prescribed by these regulations. No such map, plat, replat, or plan shall be recorded or have any validity unless or until it is approved as may be required by these regulations. No person shall sell, lease, transfer, or offer to sell, lease, or transfer any lot, tract, or parcel subject to these standards without first receiving approval hereunder and filing a map of the approved division with the auditor. However, if performance of an offer or agreement to sell, lease, or otherwise transfer a lot, tract, or parcel following preliminary plat approval is expressly conditioned on the recording of the final plat containing the lot, tract, or parcel, the offer or agreement is not subject to RCW 58.17.200 or 58.17.300 and does not violate any provision of these regulations. All payments on account of an offer or agreement conditioned as provided in these standards shall be deposited in an escrow or other regulated trust account and no disbursement to sellers shall be permitted until the plat is recorded. (Ord. 1110 § 2, 2002).
