[Amended 2-27-2017 by Ord. No. 11-2017]
A. Within 90 days after endorsement of the final plan by the City and the County Planning Commissions, the subdivider shall file the record plan with the County Recorder of Deeds. If the subdivider fails to record the final plan within such period, the action of the Planning Commission shall be null and void unless an extension of time is granted in writing by the City Planning Commission upon the written request of the subdivider. No subdivision plan may be legally recorded unless it bears the City Planning Commission's approval and seal and the County Planning Commission's stamp of review. In the event any such unapproved plan is recorded it shall be considered invalid, and the Commission shall institute proceedings to have the plan stricken from the records of the Recorder of Deeds, Berks County.
B. Recording the final plan after approval of the Commission shall have the effect of an irrevocable offer to dedicate all streets and other public ways shown thereon to the public use and to dedicate or reserve all park reservations and school sites and other public areas to public use, unless reserved by the subdivider as hereinafter provided. The approval of the Commission shall not impose any duty upon the City concerning maintenance or improvement of any such dedicated streets, parks, areas or portions of same until the proper authorities of the City shall have actual appropriation of the same by entry, use or improvement. However, the subdivider may place a notation on the final plan to the effect that there is no offer of dedication of certain designated streets or other public areas to the public use, in which event the title to such ways and other lands shall remain with the owner, and the county and local authorities shall assume no responsibility for improvement or maintenance thereof, which fact shall also be noted on the final plan.
