The commission’s action shall be stated in the minutes of the commission meeting. The commission shall notify the applicant in writing of the official statement of findings and reasons for their action within five working days.
B. The approval of the vacation shall be effective for a period of 24 months from the date of approval during which time the applicant may perfect the vacation by:

In those instances where the replat is intended solely to delete an area vacated from a record plat, the replat may be eligible for the abbreviated plat procedures; or
2. Recording a document stating that the area has been vacated when said area has never been shown on a recorded plat (e.g., recorded by deed or recorded document other than a plat). A copy of the document that created the easement or dedication subject to the vacation shall be submitted as an exhibit. The document must be signed by all those with a beneficial interest in the area to be vacated. A copy of the recorded document shall be provided to the community development department. [Ord.
