(a) Dedication for Public Use: If the final plat indicates land for public use, the plat shall be submitted to Council for acceptance of dedication of any public land, and acceptance of any easement before it is recorded. The acceptance of any street or utility for public use and maintenance and the naming of any street shall be by separate action of Council.
(b) Land Reserved for Public Use: Council may request, by resolution, a developer to set aside, reserve or offer for sale, land for streets, parks, playgrounds, schools or other public uses shown upon a duly approved thoroughfare, park and recreation or comprehensive plan for a period of ninety days after the application for approval of a preliminary plan, or for a longer period as may be mutually agreed, to allow the Village time to acquire such land.
During such period, no structure shall be erected, no trees or topsoil shall be removed or destroyed, no grading shall be done, nor shall any land so reserved be put to any use whatsoever except on written approval of the Planning Commission.
If no sites for a recreational use are shown within a proposed subdivision on such an approved plan, the developer may be required to contribute a pro-rata fee to a land acquisition fund for recreation use in accordance with standards established for the neighborhood to be served.
