(A) Where sites for parks, schools, playgrounds or other public uses are located within the subdivision area as shown on the Master Plan, the Commission may request their dedication for such purposes, or their reservation for a period of two years, following the date of the final approval of the plat. In the event a government agency concerned passes a resolution expressing its intent to acquire the land so reserved, the reservation period shall be extended for an additional six months.
(B) In a subdivision proposed to contain an average or more than two and one-half lots per gross acre, and containing 50 or more lots as shown on the provisional plat, at least one acre of open space per each 50 lots shall be platted and permanently dedicated for community park or playground use. At the discretion of the Commission, such area may be permanently dedicated to the town or county as the case may be, or if suitably protected by covenants to a private land owners association. Playgrounds or public school sites within the boundaries of the proposed subdivision shall be deemed to meet such community open space requirements. The least dimension of any such required open space shall be 150 feet. A public way crosswalk or easement not less than 15 feet in width shall be provided for access to the required open space.
