A. Where a proposed park, playground, school or other public use area, shown in the General Development Plan for the City and adjacent unincorporated areas, is located in whole or in part in a subdivision, the Plan Commission or the City Council may require the dedication or reservation of area within the subdivision in those cases in which the Plan Commission or the City Council deems such requirements to be reasonable. However, in no case shall the total amount of required public areas to be dedicated or reserved, in addition to public streets, exceed ten percent (10%) of the total acreage owned and proposed to be developed by one developer. The acquisition of the additional area needed for parks, playgrounds, schools or other public uses, other than streets and alleys, shall be secured by the proper governing body, or arrangements made for securing the area from the owner within a period not to exceed ninety (90) days.
B. In the subdividing of any land within the City, or within one and one-half (11/2) miles of the corporate limits, due regard shall be shown for all natural features; such as, tree growth, watercourses, historic spots or similar conditions which, if preserved, will add attractiveness and value to the proposed development. (Ord. 873, 2-3-1958)
