Sec. 196.

The following shall apply to all subdivisions as a condition of approval:

(a) The name of a subdivision as included in the caption of the plat shall not use the name of a previously recorded subdivision within the same county unless it is an addition thereto.

(b) The first subdivision bearing the name may be numbered 1 and all additions shall be numbered consecutively beginning with number 2.

(c) A plat duplicating the name of any existing subdivision within the same county shall be rejected by the governing body or county plat board.
