(A) When an area of land for public use (in addition to streets, alleys, pedestrian ways and utility easements) is recommended by the Planning and Zoning Board and required by the Village Council, to be located in whole or in part in a subdivision, the subdivider shall designate on the preliminary plat and final plat that the land is reserved for public use.
(B) If the land is not acquired or arrangements made for acquisition by the Village of Gardner, a school board, or other governmental body within one year after the date of recordation of the final plat, the land may thereafter be used by the subdivider for a use permitted at its location by zoning regulations or, if possible, in accordance with more restrictive protective covenant requirements.
