Where the subdivision contains a proposed park, school, or other public area which is shown upon the Master Plan for the Village, such area shall either be dedicated to the proper public agency or it shall be reserved for acquisition thereby, within a three year period after approval of the final plat by a purchase, or by normal condemnation procedure or other means. If the land is not acquired during this period it shall be released to the subdivider.
Due regard shall be shown for preserving outstanding natural features such as scenic spots, water courses or exceptionally fine groves of trees. Dedication to and acceptance by a public agency is normally the best means of assuring their preservation.
Whenever any river, stream or important surface drainage course is located in the area being subdivided, the subdivider shall provide an adequate easement along each side of the river, stream or drainage course for the purpose of widening, deepening, relocating, improving or protecting the river, stream or drainage course for drainage or recreational use.
