C. Sectionalizing Major Subdivision Plats: Prior to granting final approval of a major subdivision plat, the Board of Trustees may permit the plat to be divided into two (2) or more sections and may impose such conditions upon the filing of the sections as it may deem necessary to assure the orderly development of the plat. The Board of Trustees may require that the subdivision improvement agreement and security be in such amount as is commensurate with the section or sections of the plat to be filed and may defer the remaining amount of the security until the remaining sections of the plat are offered for filing. The developer may also file irrevocable offers to dedicate streets and public improvements in the sections offered to be filed and defer filing offers of dedication for the remaining sections until those sections, subject to any conditions imposed by the Board of Trustees, shall be granted concurrently with final approval of the plat. If sectionalizing is approved, the entire approved subdivision plat, including all sections, shall be filed within ninety (90) days after the date of final approval with the Village Clerk's Office, and such sections as have been authorized by the Board of Trustees shall be filed with the County Recorder of Deeds. Such sections must contain at least ten percent (10%) of the total number of lots contained in the approved plat. The approval of all remaining sections not filed with the County Recorder of Deeds shall automatically expire unless such sections have been approved for filing by the Board of Trustees, all fees paid, all instruments and offers of dedication submitted and subdivision improvement agreements, security and performance bonds, if any, approved and actually filed with the County Recorder of Deeds within three (3) years of the date of final subdivision approval of the subdivision plat. Prior to the expiration of three (3) years, the developer may request that this period be extended by the Board of Trustees for a reasonable amount of time. (Ord. 2012-11, 3-13-2012)
