A.

B. 
Alteration of lot lines.

The sketch plan approval shall constitute the basis for the approved alteration.
(b) 
The sketch plan approval shall expire six months after the date of such approval, unless within such time the subdivider shall have recorded in the office of the County Clerk a deed or deeds transferring the land area or areas involved in the alteration to or among the appropriate existing lot or lots, such that any land area being transferred shall merge of record in the same ownership with the appropriate existing lot, and such that each lot resulting from the alteration shall be placed of record in single and separate ownership.
