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.
