N.Y. Village Law § 6-610: Dedication of streets

§ 6-610 Dedication of streets. 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.
