The plat shall be endorsed with the necessary agreements in

to the Town shall be presented prior to plat approval. Formal offers
of dedication to the Town of all streets and parks, not marked on
the plat with notation to the effect that such dedication will not
be offered, shall be filed with the Planning Board prior to plat approval.
If the owner of the land or his agent who files the plat does not
add as part of the plat a notation to the effect that no offer of
dedication of such streets, highways or parks, or any of them, is
made to the public, the filing of the plat in the office of the County
Clerk or register shall constitute a continuing offer of dedication
of the streets, highways or parks, or any of them, to the public,
and said offer of dedication may be accepted by the Town Board at
any time prior to revocation of said offer by the owner of the land
or his agent.
(2)
The approval by the Planning Board of a subdivision plat shall
not be deemed to constitute or imply the acceptance by the Town of
any street, park, playground or other open space shown on said plat.
The Planning Board may require said plat to be endorsed with appropriate
notes to this effect. If the Town Board determines that a suitable
park or parks of adequate size cannot be properly located in any such
plat or is otherwise not practical, the Board may require, as a condition
to approval of any such plat, a payment to the Town of a sum to be
determined by the Town, which sum shall constitute a trust fund to
be used by the Town Board exclusively for neighborhood park, playground
or recreation purposes, including the acquisition of property. The
Planning Board may require the filing of a written agreement between
the applicant and the Town Board covering future title, dedication
and provision for the cost of grading, development, equipment and
maintenance of any park or playground area.
