The Village Council recognizes that it is essential to the health, safety and welfare of the residents of the Vil'age of Plymouth that the character and quality of the environment be considered to be of major importance in the planning and de- velopment of the Village. In this regard the manner in which land is developed and used is a matter of high priority. The preservation of land for park and playground purposes as it re- lates to the use and development of land for residential purposes is essential to the maintaining of a healthful and desirable environment for all of the citizens of the Village. We must not only provide these amenities for our citizens today, we must also be mindful of our future citizens. Resolution No. 72-42 Page Two '. It is recognized by the Village Council that the demand for park and playground space within a municipality is directly related to the density of residential development permitted and allowed within any given area. High density development means greater numbers of people whose demands for public recreational facili- ties must be served. To disregard this principle is to inevitably over -tax existing facilities and thus diminish the quality of the environment for all. It is therefore determined to be the public policy of the Village of Plymouth that the following standards and guide lines for the dedication of land for park and playground purposes (or cash contributions in lieu of such dedication) in the subdividing and developing of land within the Village shall be directly re- lated to the density of each subdivision and development to the end that a reasonable balance be provided between numbers of people and open space for park and playground purposes. 2. Subdividers and developers of land within the Village of Plymouth shall be required to dedicate to the Village of Plymouth for park and playground purposes that percentage of land within the develop- ment as set out below: DWELLING UNITS PER ACRE LAND TO BE DEDICATED 2 10% 3-4 12% 5-6 14% 7-8 16% 9-10 18% 11-12 20% 13-14 21% 15-16 22% For each unit above 16 add .5% additional park area. 3. In those cases where subdividers and developers of land within the Village of Plymouth provide amenities, such as, but not limited to, swimming pools, tennis courts, handball courts, ballfields, etc.., within the development for the benefit of those residing therein, and where, n the judgment of the Village Manager, such amenities significantly reduce the demands for public recreational facilities to serve the development, then, and in that case, he may recommend to the Village Council that the amount of land to be dedicated for park purposes (or cash contributions in lieu of such dedication) be reduced by an amount not to exceed twenty-five percent (25%) of the amount calculated above. Section 4 adde 4. In those cases where it is determined that a cash contribution by amendment shall be made in lieu of park land dedication, it shall be on 4-16-73 understood that cash contributions not to exceed a maximum of 'Res. 73-145 $150 per dwelling unit shall be deemed to meet the requirements of this policy. 5.
