The ownership of a reservations for park purposes shall be clearly indicated
on the site plan or subdivision and established in a manner satisfactory to
the Planning Board so as to insure its proper future continuation and maintenance.
Where the Planning Board makes a finding that the proposed subdivision
or site plan presents a proper case for requiring a park or parks suitably
located for playground or other recreational purposes, but that a suitable
park or parks of adequate size cannot be properly located on such site plan
or subdivision, the Planning Board may require, as a condition to the approval
of the site plan or subdivision, a payment to the City of Kingston of a sum
of money in an amount to be determined and set annually, by resolution of
the Common Council. Fees imposed pursuant to this article shall be paid prior
to final site plan or subdivision approval and shall be set aside in a fund
to be used exclusively for park, playground or other recreational purposes,
including acquisition of property for use as park or playgrounds.
This article shall apply to all current and future applications for
site plan or subdivision approval containing residential units.
