A. If an attempt is made to use the spaces, or if any part of them is used for any purpose other than for interment purposes as set forth in this chapter, the spaces will automatically revert to the City, and the City may reenter the property and hold the same for resale.
B. If any space is not used within eighty (80) years after its acquisition or transfer under any given ownership, the space shall revert to the City, and may be conveyed anew under the provisions of this section. This reversion is a possibility of reverter in grantee, City. This reversion shall apply retroactively to all spaces purchased since the cemetery was opened in 1892.
C. However, a previous owner whose space has been reverted to the City shall have the right, on presentation of the cemetery deed and certificate of conveyance to the Cemetery Sexton, to have said space reconveyed to him/her if such space has not been resold. If the space has been resold, said previous owner shall have the right to require the City to convey another available space to him/her within the City's Cemetery. The rights afforded under this section are only applicable if the previous owner of said space presents the cemetery deed and certificate of conveyance to the Cemetery Sexton within two (2) years of the date in which the subject space reverted to the City.
