be considered to be of major importance in the planning and de-

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

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. This resolution is to be construed as a part of and administered
in conjunction with Section 7.06, Chapter VII of the Village Code.
The motion for the adoption of the foregoing Resolution was
duly seconded by Councilman Neils, and upon vote being taken
thereon, the following voted in favor thereof: Mayor Hilde,
Councilmen Spaeth, Hunt, Seibold and Neils. The following voted
against or abstained: None. Whereupon the Resolutiun was de-
