  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

  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

  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.
