(a) The Planning Commission may request, when adequate public open space does not exist within one-half mile of the site, that up to ten percent (10%) of the area to be subdivided be dedicated to the City for park, playground, school or other public use.
(b) This dedication of land for public use shall be combined with similar existing dedications in adjoining tracts or subdivisions to provide more usable public areas without imposing hardships on the part of any subdivider.
(c) The Commission may, in lieu of the ten percent (10%) public land dedication, require a comparable fee on mutual agreement of the subdivider. This may be in the form of a fixed per lot fee payable to the City and retained in a fund for the purchase of future lands for schools, parks and playgrounds.
(d) Where the City does not accept or acquire public land as dedicated by the subdivider within five years from the date of dedication, the offer of dedication may be withdrawn by the subdivider.
