(A) Dedication. The approval and recordation of a final subdivision plat constitutes an offer of dedication to the town of any public rights-of-way or easement shown on such plat.
(B) Acceptance. The approval and recordation of a plat does not constitute acceptance of maintenance responsibility within any right-of-way or easement. Improvements within rights-of-way, such as utility lines, streets, drainage facilities, sidewalks or open space may be accepted for maintenance by the Board of Commissioners. The acceptance of a right-of-way or easement shall not be considered by the Board of Commissioners until all improvements have been inspected by the Public Works Director or authorized agent, corrections have been made in the field, final as-built construction drawings have been submitted to the town and the warranty on improvements required in § 154.081 is completed.
(C) Conveyance.
(1) The acceptance of a right-of-way shown on an approved plat shall be dedicated in the form of fee simple marketable title (unencumbered financially and environmentally). For the purpose of this section, greenways and trails used primarily for recreational purposes may be conveyed either in fee simple marketable title (unencumbered financially and environmentally) or as a dedicated easement.
(2) The acceptance of improvements or open space outside of rights-of-way shown on an approved plat may be dedicated in the form of fee simple marketable title (unencumbered financially and environmentally), or as a dedicated easement to the town.
