(A) The dedication by an owner-developer by the recordation of a plat in the office of the Register of Deeds of the county of property within the territorial limits of the town, indicating on such plat a street, way or access area, whether or not the same has been physically improved by the owner-developer, by the town or by any other person, has heretofore been generally accepted by the town, in 1955, and shown on its Zoning Map adopted May 22, 1979, as amended, and the acceptance of such dedication is in all respects specifically confirmed.
