The municipality shall not accept, lay out, open, improve, grade, pave, curb, or light any street or lay or authorize water mains or sewers or connection to be laid in any street within any portion of territory for which the planning commission shall have adopted a major street plan unless such street shall have been accepted or opened as or shall otherwise have received the legal status of a public street prior to the adoption of such plan or unless such street corresponds with a street shown on the official master plan or with a street on a subdivision plat approved by the planning commission or with a street on a street plat made by and adopted by the commission.
The council may, however, accept any street not shown on or not corresponding with a street on the official master plan or on an approved subdivision plat or an approved street plat; provided, that the ordinance or other measure accepting such street shall be first submitted to the municipal planning commission for its approval and, if approved by the commission, shall be enacted or passed by not less than a majority of the entire membership of the council or, if disapproved by the commission, shall be enacted or passed by not less than two thirds of the entire membership of the council. A street approved by the planning commission upon submission by the council or a street accepted by a two-thirds vote of the council after disapproval by the planning commission shall thereupon have the status of an approved street as fully as though it had been originally shown on the official master plan or on a subdivision plat approved by the commission or had been originally platted by the commission.
