A. No land shall, after the effective date hereof, be subdivided or filed for record, nor any street laid out, nor any improvements made to the land, until the plan or plans of the subdivision or street improvements shall have been certified to and approved by action of the village board. This approval must be in writing and placed on the original tracing of the final plat, according to the procedure outlined in chapter 2 of this title.
B. No lot, tract or parcel of land within any such subdivision shall be offered for sale, nor shall any sale, contract for sale, or option be made or given until such subdivision plat has been approved by the village board.
C. No improvements, such as sidewalks, water supply, stormwater drainage, sewerage facilities, gas service, electric service or lighting, or grading, paving or surfacing of streets, shall hereafter be made within any such subdivision by any owner or owners or his or their agent, or by any public service corporation at the request of such owner or owners or his or their agent, until the plat for the subdivision and the plans for improvements thereto have been formally recommended by the planning and zoning commission and approved by the village board.
D. Subdivisions of land lying outside of the village and within one and one-half (11/2) miles of the village limits shall also be required to conform with the requirements of this title, in accordance with the provisions of the revised cities and villages act of the state of Illinois 1 .
E. All interpretations of these rules and regulations are reserved to the administrative bodies referred to herein.
F. The village board may vary and make exceptions as set forth herein in instances where there is sufficient evidence, in its opinion, or hardship caused by the topographic conditions, or where any other reasonable deterrents prevail.
G. Whenever a parcel is divided into lots containing one to three (3) acres, inclusive, and there are indications that such lots will eventually be resubdivided into smaller building lots, consideration shall be given to the street and lot arrangement of the original subdivision so that additional minor streets can be opened which will permit a logical arrangement of smaller lots.
H. Because of their potential impact on the comprehensive plan of the village, planned unit developments, as defined in the zoning title, are considered subdivisions and shall be subject to the standards of this title whether the PUD is in the corporate limits of the village or within the extraterritorial one and one-half (11/2) mile planning jurisdiction of the village.
