A. All
residential subdivisions shall, as part of the final plat process,
reserve land for open space and public parks. This requirement shall
apply to newly platted areas as well as areas that are being re-platted.
Final determinations as to dedication of land, including location
thereof or acceptance of cash-in-lieu thereof, shall be made by the
Board of Aldermen, upon recommendation by the Planning and Zoning
Commission.
B. Land
areas proposed for dedication shall be shown on the preliminary plat
for consideration by the City as part of the review and approval process.
Dimensions, location and topographic features of the proposed open
space shall be shown on the plat to permit a thorough review and determination
of the flexibility and usability of the property. Prior to approval
of a preliminary plat proposing the dedication of open space, the
Planning and Zoning Commission shall review and make a recommendation
on the acceptance of the proposed dedication.
C. The
area of such open space for public use shall be based upon a calculation
of the anticipated residential population of the subdivision when
fully developed, as follows:
1. The area/population shall be at the rate of two and one-half (2.5)
acres of park land per two hundred fifty (250) persons.
2. Such population shall be determined on the basis of three (3) persons
per family unit for single-family and two-family developments and
two (2) persons per family unit in other multi-family areas.
D. All
plats should provide for the dedication of open space at locations
designated in the "parks and open space" element of the Comprehensive
Plan. Further, the City shall review and evaluate proposed dedications
based upon the criteria and standards contained in the "parks and
open space" element. If a proposed dedication does not meet the criteria
and standards, it may be rejected.
E. The
dedication of land for public use shall be conveyed by the developer
in fee absolute title by warranty deed to the City of St. Robert.
Such land shall be free of liens, special assessments and other encumbrances
and shall have all taxes paid to the year of dedication. The location
of boundaries of such land shall be marked with permanent monuments
in accordance with the criteria for subdivision plat found in this
Chapter.
F. Payment of cash in lieu of such dedication shall be at the rate of eight thousand dollars ($8,000.00) per acre for required park land based upon acreage requirements as calculated by the formula in Subsection
(C) of this Section. If this rate is not acceptable to the applicant, the value per acre shall be determined by an appraiser, agreed upon between the applicant and the City or, failing such agreement, by a commission consisting of one (1) appraiser appointed by the developer, one (1) appraiser appointed by the City and a third (3rd) appraiser to be appointed by previously appointed appraisers, which decision by a majority shall be controlling. Reasonable compensation of the appraisers shall be paid by the developer. The rate of land value shall be adjusted annually at the beginning of each year based on the Federal Bureau of Labor statistics report on the change in the Consumer Price Index during the most recent preceding twelve (12) month period. The amount so determined shall be paid prior to approval of the final plat.
G. In
some cases, private open space may be provided in a proposed subdivision
to meet up to half (½) of this requirement. Such space is to
be privately owned and maintained by the future residents of the subdivision
and such areas shall be termed as open space reservations. Said reservations
of open space shall be subject to the following standards:
1. Yards, court areas, setbacks and other open areas required to be
maintained by the Land Development Regulations shall not be included
in the computation of such private open space; and
2. The private ownership and future maintenance of the open space is
adequately provided for by written agreement; and
3. The use of the private open space is restricted for park and recreational
purposes by recorded covenants which run with the land in favor of
the future owners of property within the tract and which cannot be
defeated or eliminated without the consent of the City; and
4. The proposed private open space is reasonably adaptable for use for
park and recreational purposes, taking into consideration such factors
as shape, topography, geology, access and location of the private
open space land; and
5. The open space reservation will be applied toward meeting no more than one-half (½) of the dedication requirements as calculated in Subsection
(C) of this Section.
H. The
provisions of this Section are minimum standards. None of the Sections
previously set out shall be construed as prohibiting a developer from
dedicating or reserving more land for recreational purposes than required
by this Section.
I. The
open spaces shall include continuous wooded areas, water areas, natural
areas, recreational areas and other non-vehicular paved pedestrian
areas. All open spaces shall be adequately landscaped and, where possible,
existing mature trees shall be retained.
