If the Town Board and County Board of Education have jointly determined the specified location and size of any school sites to be reserved and this information appears in the land use plan update, the Subdivision Administrator on behalf of the Town Board, shall immediately notify the Board of Education whenever a sketch plan for a subdivision is submitted which includes all or part of a school site to be reserved. The Board of Education shall promptly decide whether it still wishes the site to be reserved. If the Board of Education does not wish to reserve the site, it shall so notify the Town Board and no site shall be reserved. If the Board of Education does wish to reserve the site, the subdivision shall not be approved without such reservation. The Board of Education shall then have 18 months beginning on the date of final approval of the subdivision or site plan within which to acquire the site by purchase or by initiating condemnation proceedings. If the Board of Education has not purchased or begun proceedings to condemn the site within 18 months, the landowner may treat the land as freed of the reservation.
