Where a park, playground, school or public access to water frontage which is shown in the Comprehensive Development Plan is located in whole or in part in a proposed subdivision, the Planning Commission shall request the dedication of such area within the subdivision. The subdivider shall pay for only that portion of the cost of the public site that benefits his or her subdivision as determined by the Commission. Every subdivider of land for subdivisions not containing public sites shall be requested to provide land or payment in lieu thereof for that portion of benefits from public sites accruing to his or her land as determined by the Commission. The Commission shall, wherever possible, establish the preservation of natural features which add value to residential developments and to the community, such as large wooded areas, watercourses, beaches, areas of historical significance and similar irreplaceable assets.
