§ 19-368. Purchase of land reserved for public purposes.  


Latest version.
  • Subdividers shall not be required to reserve land for public purposes other than streets, drainage, parks and playgrounds, except on a reimbursement basis. They shall be reimbursed by the jurisdiction or agency requiring the land. They shall not be required to hold the land longer than eighteen (18) months following the recording of the plat for such purchase. If the land is not purchased within such eighteen (18) months, it may be sold as lots for the same purposes for which the subdivision was platted. To facilitate such possible eventual sale of reserved land as separate lots, the subdivider shall show on his final plat, by dotted numbers, the area and dimensions of lots to be recreated within the boundaries of any such reserved land, and may sell such lots, after the expiration date of the reservation, by lot number without filing an amended plat.
