said plat pursuant to the provisions of Section 41-104 of this title
is not available, or if said plat was not prepared by a registered
land surveyor, a certificate as provided for in subsection B of this
section may be executed by any registered land surveyor, provided

originally prepared by a registered land surveyor.
D. Prior to recording the correction certificate in the office
of the county clerk of the county in which said plat is located, the
certificate shall be approved by the planning commission or other
governmental body having jurisdiction, provided that such
certificate shall be approved by the municipal governing body if the
correction alters or otherwise affects a right-of-way or easement of
the municipality.
E. The certificate authorized by the provisions of this section
shall be retained by the county clerk of the county in which said
plat is located and shall be recorded as a correction in the county
plat book.

purpose. No such certificate shall have the effect of destroying or
changing any vested rights which were acquired based upon an
existing plat despite the errors or defects contained in said plat.
The provisions of this section shall not prohibit any interested
party from commencing an action in the district court of the county
in which the plat is located pursuant to the provisions of Sections
