(A) When a preliminary major subdivision plat is submitted for approval, in which, according to the city’s CAMA Comprehensive Land Use Plan, a school site should be reserved, the Planning Board shall notify the Board of Education that the subdivision has been submitted for approval and that under this section a school site may be reserved therein. In reviewing the subdivision and giving approval thereto, the Planning Board shall consult the Board of Education in determining the exact size and location of any school site to be reserved therein.
(B) Before the final plat of the subdivision is finally approved, the Board of Education shall determine whether or not it wishes to have a school site reserved in the subdivision. If the Board of Education does not wish to have a school site reserved in the subdivision, it shall so notify the Planning Board and in that event no school site shall be reserved therein. If the Board of Education does wish to have a school site reserved in the subdivision, the subdivision as finally approved shall reserve a school site of a size and location agreeable to the Board of Education and to the Planning Board.
(C) If the Board of Education has not purchased or begun proceedings to acquire the site within a maximum of 18 months after the subdivision is finally approved, the subdivider may treat the lands as freed of the reservation. If the Board of Education does not wish to have a school site reserved, the subdivider shall be immediately notified that he or she may proceed with the disposition of the land in question in accordance with the subdivision procedures and provisions of this chapter.
