§ 40-48-22 — Items considered in approving plat - Notations made on plat - Deed delivered to municipality or county

delivered to municipality or county.
Before the approval of a plat, the planning commission and the governing body shall take
into consideration the prospective character of the development of the area included in the plat
and of the surrounding territory. The owner of the land or the owner's agent who files the plat
may add as a part of the plat a notation to the effect that no offer or dedication of the streets,
parks, or playgrounds shown thereon, or of any of them, is made to the public. The owner or the
owner's agent may show by a dotted line on the plat the dedication of an easement for building
setback lines or for use in establishing public utility lines. At the time of the filing of the plat, the
planning commission or the governing body may require that a deed to the fee for streets or
other areas offered for dedication to the public on said plat be delivered to the municipality or
county, as the case may be, where the same are located.
