(a)
In the interest of protecting the health, safety and welfare of the residents of the village, a developer of previously undeveloped properties adjacent to the village who seeks replatting of property within the village to accommodate an interconnection of streets between said development and the village must, if such replatting and interconnection is approved by the village, construct at the developer’s sole cost a fence along the common boundary of the village and the new development, and/or gated entrances on all such interconnected streets, for the purpose of preserving the health, safety and welfare of the citizens of the village.
(b)
Such fencing and/or gated entrances shall be designed and constructed in accordance with plans approved by the village.
(c)
Such fencing and/or gated entrances shall be located on the developer’s land, along the common boundary of the village and the new development. Upon completion of construction of said fencing and/or gated entrances, in accordance with plans approved by the village, the developer shall grant the village a perpetual easement for the location, construction, and maintenance of said fencing and/or gates. Upon the completion of construction of said fencing and/or gated entrances, such facilities and all necessary easements shall be dedicated to the village.
(d)
Nothing herein shall be construed to require the village to approve any street interconnection or the replatting of property within the village that may be necessary for such interconnection, and the city council of the village expressly reserves the right to deny such replatting and/or street interconnection if it determines that the health, safety or welfare of the residents of the village is jeopardized, threatened or diminished by such actions.
(e)
The village may authorize variances to the provisions of this section, where such variances are just and reasonable.
