The recording of a plat shall serve to transfer, in fee simple, to the town all portions of the area platted that are set apart for streets, alleys, easements, or other public use, and to create a public right-of-passage over them. No such areas dedicated to public use shall be encumbered by easements retained by the subdivider or granted to utility companies or other corporate or natural persons. Nothing contained herein, however, shall prevent the subdivider from constructing and maintaining improvements required by this chapter.
