§ 711.39.
Upon the institution of proceedings by the legislative authority of a municipal corporation,
the board of county commissioners of a county, the department of transportation of
the state, or an individual, partnership, or corporation in the court of common pleas,
for the vacation of any public streets, 1 alley, avenue, lane, road, boulevard, driveway, or other public way, or any portion
thereof, in a village, or addition to or subdivision in a municipal corporation, a
plat, map or other plane representation showing such public way sought to be vacated,
and all intersecting or connective public ways, shall be prepared and certified to
by a licensed surveyor or engineer, and shall form a part of the petition and proceedings
for such vacation. Any such public way sought to be vacated shall be shown on said plat by measurements,
descriptions, coloring, hatched lines, or other method of identification to distinguish
the extent, limit, width, and area of the public way or parts thereof sought to be
vacated from those not vacated. Such plat, map, or plane representation shall be transferred in the office of the
county auditor and recorded in the office of the county recorder of the county in
which said land is located in the same manner as are plats originally transferred
and recorded. Upon the filing of said plat, map, or plane representation with the county recorder,
a cross reference to the record of the vacated portion of the plat shall be made by
the recorder on the original plat of the village, or addition to or subdivision in
the municipal corporation by which the dedication was made. Upon the institution of proceedings to vacate platted lots of a village, or addition
to or subdivision in a municipal corporation for the purpose of returning such lots
as acreage to the tax duplicate, the same procedure shall be required. 1
Prior and current versions differ although no amendment to this language was indicated
in 1973 H 200; “streets” appeared as “street” in 125 v 397.
