There is hereby established for the Village, and contiguous
area, an Official Map which is adopted by reference as part of these
regulations. Said map is on file in the office of the Village Administrative
Clerk for inspection.
A.
Planned public improvements indicated. The Official Map may show
indication of sites for planned public facilities. Public facility
sites which may be indicated on the Official Map may include but are
not limited to sites for new traffic ways or widening of existing
traffic ways, school and recreational sites, public building sites
and sites for future storm drainage, electrical or other public service
or utility easements.
B.
Planned public facilities required on subdivision plat. Whenever
the Official Map indicates the necessity for providing a site for
a planned public facility, the Board may require that the site for
the public use be designated on the subdivision plat before granting
approval to such plat; and, furthermore, that such site be held for
that specific use for a period of one year from the date of record
plat approval.
C.
Responsible agency to purchase public site. Whenever a site for public
use shown on the Official Map has been required to be indicated on
a subdivision plat, the responsible agency having jurisdiction of
such use shall acquire the land so designated or commence proceedings
to acquire such land by condemnation within one year from the date
of approval of such plat; and if it does not do so within such period
of one year, the land so designated may then be used by the owners
in any other manner consistent with this regulation and the appropriate
zoning regulation.
Amendments to the Official Map, including the indication of additional public sites, shall be considered amendments to these regulations and therefore shall be as specified in § 963-23 of this chapter. Any agency requesting the establishment of the Official Map of a future public site or easement shall indicate to the Plan Commission the need for the site in the particular location specified. The Plan Commission, before making a favorable recommendation for the inclusion on the Official Map of such site to the Board, shall find that the public site location is consistent with the needs of the community and shall so indicate in its minutes.
