12-4-11: RESUBDIVIDING AND REPLATTING RECORDED LOTS; VACATION OF PLATS:
   A.   General Requirements: All regulations, procedures and standards made applicable herein to original subdividing shall also apply to the resubdividing and replatting of a plat or parts thereof, as provided by this title. Applications for resubdividing or replatting shall be accompanied by a fee as provided in section 12-3-4 of this title.
   B.   Resubdivision: For any change in a map of an approved or recorded subdivision plat, if such change affects any street layout shown on such map, or area reserved thereon for public use, or any lot line, or if it affects any map or plan legally reached prior to the adoption of any regulations controlling the subdivision, such parcel shall be approved by the economic development committee and the village board of trustees by the same procedure, rules and regulations as for review and approval of a subdivision.
   C.   Subdivisions Where Future Resubdivision Is Indicated: Whenever a parcel of land is subdivided and the subdivision plat shows one or more lots containing more than one acre of land and there are indications that such lots will eventually be resubdivided into small building sites, the economic development committee and the village board of trustees may require that such parcel of land allow for the future opening of streets and the ultimate extension of adjacent streets. Easements providing for the future opening and extension of such streets may be made a requirement of the plat.
   D.   Vacation Of Plats:
      1.   Any plat or any part of any plat may be vacated by the owner of the premises, at any time before the sale of any lot therein, by a written instrument, to which a copy of such plat shall be attached, declaring the same to be vacated. Such an instrument shall be approved by the economic development committee and the village board of trustees in like manner as plats of subdivisions. The village board may reject any such instrument which abridges or destroys any public rights in any of its public uses, improvements, streets, or alleys.
      2.   Such an instrument shall be executed, acknowledged or approved, and recorded and filed in like manner as plats of subdivision; 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 such plat.
      3.   When lots have been sold, the plat may be vacated in the manner herein provided by all the owners of lots in such plat joining in the execution of such writing. (Ord. 2009-99, 8-24-2009)
