In all instances where it appears to be satisfactory to the Village Board that the whole of a platted subdivision cannot immediately be fully improved with respect to the installation of all storm and sanitary sewers and related facilities and street improvements, by reason of unavoidable delay in the acquisition of lands necessary for such improvements, or by reason of the unavoidable delay in obtaining necessary engineering data and information, or for some other good reason or cause, the Village Board may, in its sole discretion, authorize the subdivider to proceed with the installation of improvements required under this title on a portion or part of the subdivision, and in such event, the requirements of this title shall apply to that portion or part thereof authorized for immediate improvement.
All facilities and improvements installed prior to the final approval of the plat shall be considered dedicated to the Village, along with streets and other public areas, upon approval of the plat. Facilities and improvements completed under written contracts or agreements with the Village after the approval of the plat shall be considered dedicated upon their approval and acceptance and release of the subdivider from the requirements of such contracts or agreements.
