(a) Dedication for Public Use. If the final plat indicates land for public use, Council shall also act upon the acceptance of dedication of any public land and acceptance of any easement before it is recorded. The acceptance of any street for public use and maintenance shall be by separate action of Council, and shall not be taken until all improvements required under Chapter 1139 have been constructed to the full satisfaction of Council and the Village Engineer.
As soon as all improvements have been so constructed, the owner shall file with the Director of Law a certificate of title insurance in the amount of at least one thousand dollars ($1,000), meeting with the approval of the Director of Law, showing that title to the street, streets or other public land in the subdivision is good in the Village for the appropriate purposes and uses, which title is to be free and clear from all encumbrances whatsoever. Council may then, but shall not be required to, approve the plat for dedicating the street areas and accept the streets as public highways, and its acceptance shall be endorsed on the record plat and such plat shall then be recorded or rerecorded by the Village Engineer in the office of the County Recorder. If Council does not accept the dedication, it shall be noted on the record plat that the street or streets within the subdivision have not been accepted for public use, and maintenance thereof by the Village is not required, and such plat shall then be recorded or rerecorded by the Village Engineer in the office of the County Recorder.
(b) Land Reserved for Public Use. The Planning and Zoning Commission, with the concurrence of Council, may request, by resolution, that a developer set aside, reserve or offer for sale, land for streets, parks, wildlife refuges or other public uses. For a period of ninety days after the receipt of a complete application for approval of a preliminary plan (or for such longer period as may be mutually agreed upon), the Village may seek to acquire such land. During such period, no structure shall be erected, no trees or topsoil shall be removed or vegetation destroyed, no grading shall be done, and no land so reserved shall be put to any use whatsoever, except with the prior written approval of the Planning and Zoning Commission.
(c) Other Developments. An application and preliminary plan shall be submitted by the developer to the Planning and Zoning Commission for all proposals for other developments or subdivisions involving open space for common use. All procedures, maps, plans, profiles and other data required by Chapter 1143 with respect to preliminary plans, as set forth in Section 1143.02, shall be complied with and furnished, if determined to be applicable by the Planning and Zoning Commission. Where streets or other areas are to be used by the public, all procedures, maps and other data required by Chapter 1143 for final plats as set forth in Section 1143.03 shall be complied with and furnished, if determined to be applicable by the Planning and Zoning Commission.
