For the recombination of previously subdivided land or for plats that do not meet the definition of a subdivision as set forth in § 153.26, the following shall apply.
(A) Review process. The Subdivision Administrator shall confirm that the plat does not meet the definition of a subdivision, and that minimum zoning lot sizes are met.
(B) Recombination and exemption plat special requirements.
(1) Prior to recording a plat for recombination, the applicant shall provide evidence to the Subdivision Administrator that the recombination of all or portions of parcels of previously subdivided and recorded lands which have been recombined is in such a fashion where the resultant number of parcels is less than or equal to the original number of parcels and meets the requirements of this chapter, where applicable.
(2) Any plat or any part of a plat may be vacated by the owner at any time before the sale of any lot in the subdivision by a written instrument to which a copy of the plat shall be attached, declaring the same to be vacated. Such an instrument shall be approved by the same agencies as approved the final plat. The governing body may reject any such instrument which abridges or destroys any public rights in any of its public uses, improvements, streets or alleys. Such an instrument shall be executed, acknowledged or approved, and recorded and filed in the same manner as a final plat; and being duly recorded or filed shall operate to destroy the force and effect of the recording of the plat so vacated, and to divest all public rights in the streets, alleys and public grounds, and all dedications laid out or described in the plat.
