(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 shall be by separate action of Council.
(B) Land Reserved for Public Use.
(1) The city may request, by resolution, a developer to set aside, reserve or offer for sale, land for streets, parks, playgrounds or other public uses shown upon a duly approved Thoroughfare, Park and Recreation or Comprehensive Plan for a period of 90 days after the application for approval of a preliminary plan, or for a longer period as may be mutually agreed, to allow the city time to acquire such land. During such period, no structure shall be erected, no tree or topsoil shall be removed or destroyed, no grading shall be done and no land so reserved shall be put to any use except with the written approval of Council.
(2) If no site for a recreational use is shown within a proposed subdivision on such an approved plan, the developer shall be requested 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.
