Planning Commissioners.
   Section 100.   There is hereby created and established a planning commission of six members, consisting of the mayor, the president of the board of park commissioners, and four citizens of the municipal corporation who shall serve without compensation and shall be appointed by the mayor for a term of six (6) years each, except that the terms of two of the members of the first commission shall be for three (3) years. They shall have all of the powers and authorities set forth in Ohio Revised Code Section 713.01 to 713.27 as they now exist or are hereinafter amended or enlarged, and in addition thereto shall have all of the powers and authorities hereinbefore vested by the council of the City of Shelby, Ohio, in the platting commission as it existed to the date of this amendment.

(Amended 1-1-1964)
Effect of Such Platting.
   Section 101.   No streets or alleys, except those laid down on such plat and bearing the approval of the platting commissioners, as hereinbefore provided, shall subsequently in any way be accepted as public streets, or alleys, nor shall any public funds be expended in the repair or improvement of streets and alleys subsequently laid out and not on such plat. This restriction shall not apply to a street or alley laid out by the city, nor to streets, alleys, or public grounds laid out on a plat by the platting commissioners, when the owners of the grounds so platted shall have accepted the same, either by endorsing their acceptance upon such plat, or by selling lots with reference to the streets or alleys laid out thereon.
Streets and Public Grounds.
   Section 102.   The council shall provide for the care, supervision, control and improvement of public highways, streets, avenues, alleys, sidewalks, public grounds, bridges, aqueducts, and viaducts, within the city, and shall cause them to be kept open, in repair and free from nuisance.
Alteration of Streets.
   Section 103.   When it deems it necessary the council may cause any street, alley, or public highway to be opened, straightened, altered, diverted, narrowed, or widened.
Dedication of Streets.
   Section 104.   No street or alley dedicated to public use by the proprietor of ground in the city shall be deemed a public street or alley, or under the care or control of the council, unless the dedication is accepted and confirmed by ordinance passed for such purpose.
Vacation or Change of Name.
   Section 105.   The council vacating any street or part of street or changing the name of any street may include in one ordinance the change of name or the vacation or narrowing of more than one street, avenue, or alley, but before vacating any street or part thereof, or narrowing any street, the council shall first pass a resolution declaring its intention so to do. The clerk of the council shall cause notice of such declaration to be served in the manner that service of summons is required to be made upon all persons whose property abuts upon the part of the street affected by the proposed vacation or narrowing and by publication once in one newspaper of general circulation in the city as to all the persons who cannot be personally served. Said notice shall state the time and place when objections can be heard before the board of revision of assessments. Upon the report of the board of revision of assessments approving the proposed vacation or narrowing, the council may by ordinance declare such vacation or narrowing, and such order of council vacating or narrowing a street or alley which has been dedicated to public use by the proprietor, shall, to the extent to which it is vacated or narrowed operate as a revocation of the acceptance thereof by council, but the right of way and easement therein of any lot owner shall not be impaired thereby.
