Wherever a tract of land to be divided or subdivided embraces all or any part of a street, drainageway or other public way which has been designated in the Comprehensive Plan, the Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan (CORP) or component part thereof, any other official plan or on the Official Map of Greenville, said public way shall be made a part of the plat and dedicated or reserved or treated by the developer, as determined by the Planning Commission, in the locations and dimensions indicated on such plan or map and as set forth in this chapter.
Wherever a proposed playground, park, school site or other public land, other than streets or drainageways, designated in the Comprehensive Plan, the Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan (CORP) or component part thereof, any other official plan or on the Official Map of Greenville is embraced, all or in part, in a tract of land to be divided or subdivided, these proposed public lands shall be so designed as to be made an integral part of the plat and may be dedicated but, in any case, shall be reserved, for acquisition at undeveloped land costs, by the agency having jurisdiction.
In order that adequate open spaces and sites for public uses may be properly located and preserved as the community develops; and in order for the cost of providing the public school, park and recreation sites and facilities necessary to serve the additional families brought into the community, by subdivision or any land division, may be most equitably apportioned on the basis of the additional need created by the subdivision and land division development, the following provisions are established:
A. 
Dedication of land. All land dividers/subdividers shall be required to dedicate developable land to Greenville, to provide for school, park, recreation or other governmental service requirements, at a rate of 0.06 acre per residential unit. Such land shall be shown on the preliminary plat, final plat, or CSM and shall comply with the Greenville's Comprehensive Plan, the Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan (CORP) or component of said plan and all other Greenville plans, if any exist for the site. Consideration shall be given to the preservation of scenic and historic sites, stands of trees, marshes, ponds, streams, watercourses, watersheds, ravines, woodlands, prairie, wetlands and plant and animal communities. The Board shall have sole authority to determine the suitability and adequacy of lands proposed for dedication. Areas reserved for streets or trails shall not be considered as satisfying land dedication requirements.
B. 
Access to dedicated land. All dedicated land shall have frontage of at least 100 feet on a public street and shall have unrestricted public access.
C. 
Utility extensions. The land divider/subdivider shall install or provide for installation of water and sanitary sewer lines to the property line of all dedicated land, where such services are to be provided to the adjacent properties.
D. 
Dedicated parkland development. When parklands are dedicated, the subdivider is required to:
(1) 
Properly grade and contour for proper drainage.
(2) 
Provide surface contour suitable for anticipated use of area.
(3) 
Cover areas shall be seeded with a minimum of four inches of quality topsoil, seeded with a mix consisting of 28% Kentucky bluegrass, 6% Argyle Kentucky bluegrass, 6% Kenblue Kentucky bluegrass, 25% creeping red fescue, 15% wicked perennial rye grass and 20% annual ryegrass at a rate of 200 lbs./acre. Starter fertilizer (Reinders 18-12-6 or equivalent) shall be applied according to the label at the time of seeding; and mulched.
(4) 
Complete the development of parklands as required by this section prior to final plat approval or within the time frame set through a development agreement.
(5) 
If the land divider/subdivider fails to satisfy the requirements of this section, the Board may contract for said completion and bill such costs to the subdivider, following written notice to the subdivider of noncompliance. Failure to pay such costs may result in the immediate withholding of all building permits until such costs are paid.
E. 
Unknown number of dwelling units. Where a plat or certified survey map does not specify the number of dwelling units to be constructed, the land dedication and payment in lieu of land shall be based upon the maximum number of units permitted by Chapter 320, Zoning, and this chapter.
When land dedication is not feasible or compatible with the Comprehensive Plan or the Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan (CORP) as determined by the Board, any divider of land shall, in lieu of land dedication, pay to Greenville a fee equivalent to the value of the required dedication. Such fee shall include an amount as set from time to time by the Board per dwelling unit as proposed or allowed by the subdivision or land division. All parkland dedication fees are to be held by Greenville in a nonlapsing fund. The fee in lieu of land dedication may be annually adjusted by the Board, if necessary, by adding to the base amount an accepted land appreciation cost as of January 15 each year.
Dedication fees for CSMs and final plats shall be assessed per lot and be payable upon transfer of ownership or building permit application, whichever comes first. No payment shall be required for a lot created by the division of land under this chapter on which a residential structure already exists, or which is a residual parcel in excess of four acres and not intended for immediate sale or other conveyance. Likewise, where a lot or parcel for which payment has once been made is further divided for residential purposes, payment shall be required only for the additional lots or parcels created.
A. 
The dedication of land for public purposes such as parks, rights-of-way, school sites and easements becomes effective at the time of approval and recording of the final plat or CSM.
B. 
On sites reserved for eventual public acquisition, no building development is permitted during the time of reservation. Land so reserved shall be shown on the plat of a subdivision or on a certified survey map of other divisions.

All public access to the low-water mark of navigable lakes and streams required by § 236.16(3), Wis. Stats., shall be at least 60 feet wide to provide sufficient areas for turning movements and parking. The locations of such access is subject to approval of the Planning Commission.
