What does this mean on a subdivision plat? Particularly when the parcel so designated lies within a heavy boundary line that IS the subdivision boundary, as evidenced by an area (acreage) cited in the Title of the plat?
Thanks in advance.
reserved parcel?
Could the parcel not be subject to whatever subdivision requirements were imposed on the other lots? In Mass. we can created buildable lots as long as they have frontage on an existing road. These are called "Approval Not Required" lots because they do not have to undergo a full Definitive Subdivision review and hearing process. The Planning Board will review a plan showing such a lot, or lots, and then sign it to show the Registry of Deeds that the plan can be recorded. Sometimes developers will have the surveyor plat up any possible ANR lots before submitting the rest of the lots for subdivision approval as a way to raise some quick cash. It is possible to show ANR lots on the same plan as full subdivision lots, with appropriate notation and space for signatures, so that the ANR lots would be exempt from conditions imposed on the other lots, but this is usually not done. Could there be a situation like this on the plan you are looking at?
It should mean that is is not a part of what is said immediately afterwards.

No - these are fairly large areas that I would consider to be more akin to a Tract or Open Space area, but not dedicated as such (because they are "Not a Part of..."

"Not a Part of This Subdivision"
But they lie inside the heavy black border line that is the subdivision boundary...
It is more commonly known as a "Remainder Parcel" and, in California, is not subject to the conditions of approval for the subdivided lots.
I dunno, post the whole phrase or paragraph that contains the wording.
My use of "not a part of" would be when I do not have any deed reference to say what it is a part of.
I have found small parcels and strips of land that were erroneously not included in deeds when the intent was to sell "everything they owned, occupied and had control of there".

"Not a Part of"
and, on another subdivision plat "Not a Part of this Subdivision"
Both are obviously within the exterior boundaries of the subdivisions. There is no mention of the in the Dedication Statement. Other parcels on the Plat are numbered Lots or lettered Tracts,
Well acreage is last on the list, and intent is first on the list. I would go with it is not part of the subdivision.
Could you upload the plat so we can look at it?
How old are these plats?
That's very SOP. Sometimes the remainder where the owner has a residence, it allows the parcel to be split off and sold without all the subdivision regulations. Could also be required park land that the city gets.
Here's a development that surrounds some lots that were there first. The old lots are not part of the newer subdivision.
In Los Angeles County, Not a Part of this Subdivision is used to define land within the boundary of the approved Tentative Map that lies outside the boundary of the subject phased final map. Remainder Parcel is land within the existing legal parcel that is not included within the boundary of the approved Tentative Map or final map. Not a Part is land adjacent to the approved Tentative Map and final map that is used in the boundary establishment but is outside the legal parcel lines of the land being subdivided,
Never a simple answer in Los Angeles County.
