Section 6-610. Dedication of streets  


Latest version.
  • An owner of land in a village who has
      laid out a street thereon may dedicate such street, or any part thereof,
      or an easement therein, to the village for a public street, or an  owner
      may  dedicate  for  such  purpose land not laid out as a street. Upon an
      offer in writing by the owner to make such a dedication,  the  board  of
      trustees  may,  by  resolution,  determine to accept a dedication of the
      whole or any part of the land described in such offer or  the  whole  or
      any  part  of  such street, to be described in such resolution. Upon the
      adoption of such a resolution the owner may execute and deliver  to  the
      village clerk a proper conveyance of the land to be dedicated. The board
      of   trustees   may  by  resolution,  accept  the  conveyance,  and  the
      conveyance, shall thereupon be recorded in  the  office  of  the  county
      clerk.  Upon the acceptance of the conveyance the land described therein
      shall become and be a public street of the village. No street less  than
      two rods in width shall be accepted by dedication, unless the resolution
      adopting  same is passed by unanimous vote of the board of trustees. All
      offers of dedication must be entered at length in  the  minutes  of  the
      board of trustees.
