A. Adoption: There is hereby adopted an official map which shall be applicable to all land situated within the village, and shall also be applicable to contiguous territory within one and one-half (11/2) miles from the corporate limits of the village and not included within the corporate limits of any other municipality. The official map shall be filed in the office of the village clerk and is made part of this chapter by reference.
B. Public Improvements Shown On Map: The official map may show indication of sites for planned public facilities. Public facility sites which may be indicated on the official map may include, but are not limited to: sites for new trafficways or widening of existing trafficways; school sites; recreational sites; public building sites; and sites for future storm drainage, electrical or other public service or utility easements.
C. Availability Of Sites For Improvements:
1. Whenever the official map indicates the necessity for providing a site for a planned public facility, the board of trustees may require that the site for the public use be designated on the subdivision plat before granting approval to such plat; and, furthermore, that the site be held for that specific public use for a period of one year from the date of approval of the final plat. When such designation has been required, the board of trustees shall notify the responsible public agency in writing of the designation within ten (10) days.
2. Whenever a site for public use, shown on the official map, has been required to be indicated on a subdivision plat, the responsible agency having jurisdiction of such use shall acquire the land so designated by purchase or commence proceedings to acquire the land by condemnation within one year from the date of final approval of the plat; and if it does not do so within such period of one year, the land so designated may then be used by the owners in any other manner consistent with this title, the zoning ordinance, or any other provision of this code or other ordinance of the village.
D. Amendments To Map: Amendments to the official map, including the indication of additional public sites to be shown on the map, shall be considered amendments to this title and, therefore, shall be as specified in this title for amendments to this title. Any public agency requesting the establishment of the official map of a future public site or easement which is not included in the comprehensive plan shall indicate to the planning commission the need for the site in the particular location specified. The village planning commission, before making a favorable recommendation for the inclusion on the official map of such site by the village board, shall find that this public site location is determined to be necessary to provide public service consistent with the village comprehensive plan and shall so indicate in its minutes.
