(A) The purpose of this chapter is to allow and encourage, where consistent with good community planning, the development of residential subdivisions which are somewhat rural in character and provide optional alternative regulations to be followed in place of those set out in Chapter 152. No part of this chapter is to be construed as repealing Chapter 152.
(B) This chapter regulating the subdivision of land is hereby made a part of the Official Plan of Winthrop Harbor and contiguous areas. It is to provide for the harmonious development of the village and its environs; for the coordination of streets within new subdivisions with other existing or planned streets; for the dedication and acceptance of land required for schools, parks, playgrounds, and other public uses; for the preparation of subdivision plans and the procedure for the submittal, approval, and recording of subdivision plats in and about the village in accordance with the authority vested in the municipality under the provisions of the "Revised Cities and Villages Act" of the state.
(C) All lands offered to the village for use as streets, highways, alleys, parks, and other public use, shall be referred to the Plan Commission for review and recommendation before being accepted by the Village Board or by any other governing authority.
