Upon a finding by the Planning Board that a proper case exists
for requiring that park/recreational space be suitably located on
the plat for playgrounds or other recreational purposes, the Planning
Board may require that the developer satisfactorily develop any such
area shown on the plat. Any such findings shall include an evaluation
of the present and anticipated future needs for park and recreational
facilities in the Village based on projected population growth to
which the particular subdivision will contribute.
Upon such finding, the Planning Board shall require that not
less than 5% nor more than 10% of the total area of the subdivision
be allocated for park or recreational use. Such area may be dedicated
to the Village by the subdivider if the Village Board approves such
dedication. Alternatively, park or recreational space may be turned
over to a homeowners' association for control and joint private
ownership and maintenance.
In the event that an area to be used for a park or recreation
area is required to be so shown, the subdivider shall submit four
copies of a site plan to the Planning Board, prior to final approval,
drawn at a scale of not less than 30 feet to the inch, showing the
following:
A. The boundaries of the area, giving lengths and bearings of all straight
lines, radii, lengths, central angles and cord distances of all curves.
B. Existing features such as streams, ponds, clusters of trees, rock
outcrops, and structures.
C. Existing and proposed changes in grade and contours of the area and
of areas immediately adjacent.
