(A) Planned public improvement sites indicated on an official map, which is adopted herein by reference, may be required by the village as part of the approval of the subdivision. Such public improvements may include, but are not limited to, roadways and the widening of existing roadways, school sites, park, recreational, and conservation area sites, public building sites, storm drainage sites, bikeways, cemeteries, water tower and utility easements.
(B) Whenever the official map of the village has indicated the necessity to provide public improvements within a proposed subdivision, the Planning and Zoning Commission and the Village Board shall require that certain lands be designated for such public purpose before granting approval to such plat, except however, that if the governing board of the agency responsible for that proposed public site by formal action indicates disinterest in the site, the Planning and Zoning Commission and the Village Board may permit the designated site to be used for any other purpose consistent with this chapter and the zoning provisions of Chapter 156 of this code of ordinances. Furthermore, such site shall be held for that specific public improvement for a period of one year from the date of final approval by the Village Board.
(C) Whenever a site for public improvements has been indicated on an approved final plat, the appropriate public agency shall acquire such land or commence proceedings to acquire such land by condemnation within one year from the date of final plat approval; and if the public agency does not do so within such period of one year, the land so designated may then be used by the owner in any manner consistent with this chapter and the zoning provisions of Chapter 156 of this code of ordinances.
