Official statutory text
and restrictive covenants - Reversion of fee.
A. The owner of any lot in a plat which has been vacated by
decree or written instrument may cause the same and a proportionate
part of adjacent public ways and public grounds to be replatted and
numbered by a registered land surveyor. The owner of any platted
lot or lots may replat the lot or lots without necessity of vacating
the initial plat or applicable portion thereof if such action is not
prohibited by any restrictive covenants encumbering the lots. A
replat shall not be deemed a vacation of the initial plat nor affect
any preexisting public ways, utility easements or rights-of-way. A
replat or a vacation of a plat shall not be deemed a termination of
any restrictive covenants which are otherwise enforceable. When a
replat is acknowledged by the owner and bears the approval of the
municipality in which the plat is situated and is recorded in the
office of the county clerk of the county in which the plat is
located, the lots may be conveyed and assessed by the numbers given
them on the plat.
B. When any part of a plat has been vacated by decree or
written instrument, the owners of the lots so vacated may enclose
the public ways and public grounds adjoining the lots in equal
proportion.
C. Nothing contained in this article shall operate to preclude
a fee from reverting to its owner when a public right-of-way is
vacated in law or in fact.
