(A) Whenever a change is to be made to a previously recorded plat, a correction plat may be used as long as no additional lots are created. The corrected plat shall make reference to the recording reference of the original plat, shall be filed in accordance with the requirements for the platting and recording of a subdivision, shall be reviewed by those agencies normally approving final plats, and shall be recorded by the Division. In the case of a correction plat the county’s requirement of setting 4 monuments as stated in § 1-16-108 of these regulations will not be required if the proposed plat is in compliance with the requirements of Md. Code Ann., Real Property Book, Title 3, Subtitle 1, § 3-108, and as enacted or amended so far as it may concern the setting of monuments and markers.
(B) Correction plats shall not be used to nullify a previously recorded plat unless:
(1) A single owner holds current legal title to the affected property(ies), and
(2) The proposed correction will not violate this chapter, Chapter 1-19, or any Board of Appeals or Planning Commission decisions related to the property(ies).
(C) Correction plats shall include all of the information shown on the original plat and shall include a note declaring the purpose of the correction plat.
(D) When revisions to a previously approved septic area are proposed, the note shall state: “The purpose of this plat is to revise a septic system easement area. The revised septic system easement area as shown is approved for on-site sewage disposal.”
(E) When the correction plat abandons an existing recorded septic system easement area, the following note shall be added to the correction plat: “The purpose of this plat is to abandon the existing sewage disposal area as shown. This parcel may not be considered for development until such a time as either the parcel can be served by a community sewage disposal system or evaluation of the parcel demonstrates that the parcel meets the provisions set forth in the Code of Maryland Regulations 26.04.02 and 26.04.03, in place at the time the proposal is submitted. Furthermore, development must be consistent with applicable state and county codes.”
(F) An unrecorded correction plat shall become void 3 years after the application date.
