(B) The replatting of any previously platted property shall not abridge or destroy any public rights.
(C) The filing and recording of an amended plat as described in division (A) above of these regulations shall serve 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.
(D) When lots have been sold, the plat may be vacated or amended by all owners of the lots in the plat joining in the execution of the writing.
