Notice of the proposed replat shall be served, in the manner of original notice as provided in Iowa rules of civil procedure, to the proprietors of record and holders of easements specifically recorded within the area to be replatted. The governing body has jurisdiction of the matter upon proof of publication of notice of the petition once each week for two weeks in a newspaper of general circulation within the area of the replat.
2. All of the following shall apply to a replat of an official plat ordered by the governing body:
a. The replat shall be prepared by a surveyor pursuant to chapter 355 and recorded.

c. The replat shall have attached to the plat a statement by the surveyor that the replat is prepared at the direction of the governing body.
3. The costs of the replat shall be presented to the auditor and assessed against the property included in the replat as provided for in section 354.17.
