12-4-15: DEDICATION OF LAND FOR PUBLIC USE:
   A.   The village board may require the developer to dedicate (i.e., to transfer without compensation) to the village or other appropriate governmental entity suitable parcel(s) of land within the subdivision for public purposes, provided such facilities are otherwise required by this title. Any such dedicated area shall be shown on the final plat.
   B.   Besides requiring the developer to dedicate parcels for public purposes, the village board may require that he reserve land for parks, playgrounds, schools, or other public purposes in locations designated in the village comprehensive plan. Since public acquisition of reserved land requires compensation, it is not essential that the need for such land be uniquely and specifically attributable to the subdivision 1 . (Ord. 1334, 4-18-2005)
