There shall be reserved, within the tract to be developed on a planned unit basis, a minimum land area of twenty percent (20%) of the entire tract for use as common open space. Driveways, parking areas and turf or landscaped areas which are exclusively associated with specific dwelling units shall not be computed as part of the required open space. This common open space shall not consist of isolated or fragmented pieces of land which would serve no useful purpose. Included in this common open space may be such uses as pedestrian walkways, sidewalks, parkland, open areas, drainage ways, swimming pools, golf courses, clubhouses, tennis courts and other lands of essentially open character, exclusive of off-street parking areas. Ownership of this common open space shall be transferred to a legal entity and proper legal documents necessary for such transfer or dedication shall be prepared by the owner/developer of the tract of land and approved by Council.
