A. The village shall adopt an official map of conservation areas, which map shall be updated on an as needed basis to reflect additions to or deletions from those areas identified as conservation areas for purposes of this chapter. A copy of said map shall be available for public inspection at the village hall during normal business hours, and village staff shall use reasonable effort to make the current copy of such official map available on the official website of the village.
B. No public hearing shall be necessary for changes in the official map. Changes in the official map shall be made based upon the recommendation of the village public works director and/or the village engineer, and shall be approved by a majority vote of the village board. No property owner or other party shall have any right or authorization to a hearing or other due process prior to a change in the status of any property as being identified as a conservation area or not, nor shall any party have a continuing expectation that property shall or shall not be identified as a conservation area. Not less than seven (7) days before the date that any parcel of property is proposed to be approved by the village board identified as being a conservation area, the village shall dispatch, via U.S. mail, postage prepaid, a notice to all owners of property that is immediately adjacent to the identified area, along with a copy of the proposed revisions to the official map.
