(A) In cases where an application is made to the Village Board to vacate any subdivision or part thereof, prior to the sale of any lot in the subdivision, the Board may by ordinance order the vacation of all or part of the said subdivision. When lots have been sold, the plat may be vacated providing all the owners of lots in said plat join in the execution of said application.
(B) In cases where an application is made to the Village Board to vacate any street, alley or public place, the Board may in such cases order the street, alley or public place or part thereof vacated and receive from the owner or owners of property abutting on such street, alley or public place or part thereof so vacated, compensation in an amount which, in the judgment of such Board, shall be equal to the benefits which will accrue to the owner or owners of such abutting property by reason of such vacation; provided, that such order of vacation shall be passed by the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the members of the Board.
(C) In all cases where application for vacation of any subdivision, street, alley or public place or part thereof, is made to said Board, such application shall be referred to the Village Attorney and Village Engineer who shall make an investigation of the premises described in such application. The said attorney shall make a search to determine whether title is in the applicant’s name and determine whether any lots or parcels of ground would be adversely affected by such vacations.
