  1. Each parcel created by the division has a gross area of 20 acres or more and has an approved access to a maintained public street or highway; or

  2. Each parcel created by the division has a gross area of not less than 40 acres or is not less than a quarter of a quarter section.

Divisions of land created by short-term leases (terminable by either party on not more than 30 days' notice in writing) of a portion of an operating right-of-way of a railroad corporation defined as such by Section 230 of the Public Utilities Code; provided, however, that upon a showing made to the Town Manager based upon substantial evidence that public policy necessitates such a map, this exception shall not apply.

  2. Lot line adjustments, provided:

     • a. No additional parcels or building sites have been created;

     • b. If the adjustment creates the potential to further divide either of the two parcels into more parcels than should have been otherwise possible, the Town shall reserve the right to require a parcel map in lieu of a lot line adjustment plat;
