A. If the owner or the agent of the owner of any land located within the area covered
by the adopted plan transfers or sells or agrees to sell or negotiates to sell such land by
reference to or exhibition of or by other use of a plat of subdivision of such land before such
plat has been approved by the commission and recorded in the office of the clerk of court and
