               All proposed subdivisions shall be reviewed prior to recording with the register of
               deeds by submitting a vicinity map to the watershed administrator to determine whether
               or not the property is located within the designated public water supply watershed.
               Subdivisions that are not within the designated watershed area shall not be subject
               to the provisions of this chapter and may be recorded provided the watershed administrator
               initials the vicinity map. In addition, subdivisions within a WS-IV protected area
               watershed are subject to the provisions of this chapter only when an erosion and sedimentation
               plan is required under the provisions of state law 15A NCAC Chapter 4. Subdivisions
               within the designated watershed area shall comply with the provisions of this article
               and all other state and local requirements that may apply.
