in effect

Southaven Code of Ordinances § 12-126 Errors.

Sec. 12-126. - Errors. Errors on recorded subdivision plats may be corrected by the subdivider by making a written request to the governing authority to have such correction made. The governing authority may direct that the correction be made directly on the existing recorded plat, or it may direct that a complete new plat be filed as set out in section 12-127. (Ord. No. 29, art. VII(A), 4-5-83)

Southaven Code of Ordinances § 12-127 Revision of plats.

Sec. 12-127. - Revision of plats. (a) The governing authority, on such terms and conditions as it imposes, may authorize revision of recorded plat combining lots, changing lot lines or calls, correcting errors and other revisions on application by the owners of the lots being changed. The corrected plat shall be filed as a separate revision of the subdivision, to include a notation attached to the originally recorded plat showing revisions made and location of corrected plat, and a title certificate may be required on the corrected plat. All affected property owners shall be made aware of the action and must agree in writing to the vacation or alteration. The affected property owners shall sign the final plat revision or documentation approved by the city planning director. Property owners affected shall be defined as those across the street from the area being revised and lots immediately adjacent to the lots being revised. (b) On commercial and industrial subdivisions, lot lines are recognized for reference purposes only. Any redivision of a lot previously shown on a recorded plat must be submitted to the planning commission and governing authority so as to determine if the changes in lot lines conform to these regulations. Any vacation or relocation of utilities must have the concurrence of the utility company serving the property. (Ord. No. 29, art. VII(B), 4-5-83; Ord. of 4-20-99; Res. of 9-17-24(1))

Southaven Code of Ordinances § 12-128 Vacation of plats.

Sec. 12-128. - Vacation of plats. (a) Any recorded plat or portion thereof may be vacated by the subdivider at any time before the sale of any lot therein, by a written request to the planning commission with a copy of such plat attached. Such written request shall be approved by the planning commission and governing authority and recorded in the office of the chancery clerk. The governing authority may reject such request which destroys any public rights in any of its public uses, improvements or streets. The recorded vacation of plat shall destroy the effect of the recorded plat and shall divest all public rights in streets, public grounds, and all dedications provided in such plat. (b) When lots have been sold, the recorded plat may be vacated in the manner described in subsection (a) of this section, provided all the owners of lots in such plat join in the execution of such written request. A title certificate shall be included with the written request to the planning commission, along with a copy of the recorded plat. (Ord. No. 29, art. VII(C), 4-5-83)
