The owner of any platted property may request vacation of any plat or portion thereof by filing a written instrument declaring the plat or portion thereof to be vacated. Such instrument shall be submitted to the Planning Commission who shall review same and make a recommendation to the Village Council. Council may approve or reject any such instrument. A two-thirds majority vote by Council is required to overturn a recommendation by the Planning Commission. Upon approval by Council, the instrument may be recorded in like manner as plats of subdivisions and shall operate to destroy the force and effect of the plat, or portion thereof, so vacated.
