The approval of a plat pursuant to this chapter shall not be deemed to constitute or effect the acceptance by the village of the dedication of any street or other land areas, public utility line, or other public facility or right-of-way as shown on the plat nor shall approval obligate the village to maintenance thereof. However, the village council may by resolution accept any dedication made to the public of lands or facilities that are located within its subdivision regulation jurisdiction. Acceptance of dedication of lands or facilities located within the subdivision regulation jurisdiction but outside the corporate limits of the village shall not place on the village any duty to open, operate, repair, or maintain any street, utility line, or other land or facility and the city shall in no event be held to answer in civil action or proceeding for failure to open, repair, or maintain any street located outside its corporate limits. Acceptance of the dedication or maintenance of any such facility shall require a resolution of acceptance and/or maintenance by the village council.
