Text

(a) Every plat shall contain a statement to the effect
that "the above or foregoing subdivision of (here insert a
correct description of the land or parcel subdivided) as appears
on this plat, is with the free consent, and in accordance with
the desires of the undersigned owners and proprietors", which
shall be signed by the owners and proprietors, and shall be duly
acknowledged before some officer authorized to take the
acknowledgement of deeds. The plat shall meet the approval of
the board of county commissioners if it is of land situated
without the boundaries of any city or town or by the governing
body of the city or town if situated within the boundaries of
such city or town. Provided, however, that any plat of land
which is adjacent to any incorporated city or town or within one
(1) mile of the boundaries of any city or town and which is not
subject to regulation under and pursuant to a comprehensive plan
adopted pursuant to W.S. 18-5-202(b), shall be jointly approved
by both the board of county commissioners of the county and the
governing body of the city or town before the plat shall be
filed and recorded in the office of the county clerk.
(b) If a city or town approval is not required under this
section and the plat is located within one (1) mile of the
boundaries of a first class city or town, or within one-half
(1/2) mile of a town with a population of less than four
thousand (4,000), the board of county commissioners, upon
receipt of a plat application, shall solicit comments from the
governing body of the city or town relating to impacts to the
city or town's infrastructure or other development plans
resulting from the proposed plat and development. The board
shall consider the city or town's comments that are received by
the board at least twenty (20) business days prior to the
scheduled final consideration of the plat proposal and shall
respond in writing to the city or town about any items of
disagreement. To the extent practical, the board of county
commissioners shall ensure that a plat application meets the
following:
(i) Is consistent with any applicable city and county
land use or comprehensive plan;
(ii) Conforms to any adopted street plan of the city,
town or county;
(iii) Contains all areas for streets, roads and
alleys that are dedicated rights-of-way;
(iv) Contains dedicated easements for all existing
and proposed utilities; and
(v) Contains any additional criteria the governing
body of the city or town and the board of county commissioners
agree to through a jointly adopted plan or voluntary agreement.
(c) When executed, acknowledged and approved as provided
in this section, the plat shall be filed and recorded in the
office of the clerk of the proper county.
