ZONING AND PLANNING. 885

recommends be reserved for future acquisition for public streets. The
Commission, before adopting any such plat, shall hold a public hearing
thereon, notice of the time and place of which, with a general description
of the district or area covered by the plat, shall be given not less than 10
days previous to the time fixed therefor by one publication in a newspaper
of general circulation in the municipality if the district or area be within
the municipality. After such hearing the Commission may transmit the
plat, as originally made or modified as may be determined by the Com-
mission, to council, together with the commission's estimate of the time or
times within which the lands shown on the plat as street locations should
be acquired by the municipality. Thereupon by resolution, council may
approve and adopt or may reject such plat or may modify it with the ap-
proval of the Planning Commission, or, in the event of the Planning Com-
mission's disapproval, council may, by a favorable vote of not less than
two-thirds of its entire membership, modify such plat and adopt the modi-
fied plat. In the resolution of adoption of a plat council shall fix the
period of time for which the street locations shown upon the plat shall be
deemed reserved for future taking or acquisition for public use. Upon
such adoption the clerk of council shall transmit one attested copy of the
plat to the county recorder of each county in which the platted land is
located and retain one copy for the purpose of public examination. Such
approval and adoption of a plat shall not, however, be deemed the opening
or establishment of any street, nor the taking of any land for street pur-
poses, nor for public use, nor as a public improvement, but solely as a
reservation of the street locations shown thereon, for future taking or
acquisition for public use. The Commission may, at any time, negotiate
for or secure from the owner or owners of any such lands releases of claims
for damages or compensation for such reservations or agreements indemni-
fying the municipality from such claims by others, which releases or
agreements shall be binding upon the owner or owners executing the same
and their successors in title. At any time after the filing of a plat with
the county recorder, and during the period specified for the reservation,
the Planning Commission and the owner of any land containing a reserved
street location may agree upon a modification of the location of the lines
of the proposed street, such agreement to include a release by said owner
of any claim for compensation or damages by reason of such modification;
and thereupon the Commission may make a plat corresponding to the said
modification and transmit same to council; and if such modified plat be
approved by council, the clerk of council shall transmit an attested copy
thereof to the said county recorder or recorders, and said modified plat
shall take the place of the original plat. At any time council may, by
resolution, abandon any reservation and shall certify any such abandon-
ment to the said county recorder or recorders.
