Vacation of Plats
A. Any plat or any part of any plat may be vacated by the owner, at any time before the sale of any lot therein, by a written instrument, to which a copy of such plat shall be attached declaring the same to be vacated.

B. Such an instrument shall be approved by the Board of Trustees in like manner as plats of subdivisions. The Board of Trustees may reject any such instrument which abridges or destroys any public rights in any of its public uses, improvements, streets or other public rights-of-way. Such an instrument shall be executed, acknowledged or approved and recorded, in like manner as plats of subdivisions. Upon recording, the instrument of vacation shall eliminate the force and effect of the recording of the plat so vacated, and will divest all public rights in the streets, public grounds and rights-of-way, and all dedications laid out or described in such plat.

C. Where lots have been sold, the plat may be vacated in the manner herein provided by all the owners of lots in such plat joining in the execution of such instrument.
