In those instances where any public street is established in a plat submitted to the city and where the public street forms either a stub street into adjacent acreage or where the public street lies along and parallel with the plat boundary and adjacent to acreage, a one-foot wide reserve must be established within the street right-of-way to form a buffer strip, dedicated to the public, between the public street right-of-way and the adjacent unsubdivided acreage to prevent access to this public street from the adjacent unsubdivided acreage unless and until the city has had an opportunity to review the development proposals for the adjacent acreage and a plat of the adjacent property is duly recorded. The conditions associated with the establishment of a one-foot reserve on a plat are contained in the following notation which must be placed upon the face of any plat where a one-foot reserve is to be established:
“One-foot reserve dedicated to the public in fee as a buffer separation between the side or end of streets where such streets abut adjacent acreage tracts, the condition of such dedication being that when the adjacent property is subdivided in a recorded plat, the one-foot reserve shall thereupon become vested in the public for street right-of-way purposes and the fee title thereto shall revert to and revest in the dedicator, his heirs, assigns, or successors.”
