or installations, and similar public and semi-public uses, subject to the following provisions: a. Subdividers shall not be required to dedicate land for parks or play- grounds exceeding five percent of the area of the subdivision, exclusive of street and drainage reservations, without reimbursement as agreed to by the Council. Where land is required in excess of this amount. the reimbursement by the City Council shall be based on a proportionate share of the (1) cost of raw land, (2) cost of improvements, including interest on investment, (3) development costs, (4) plus not more than ten percent profit on the total of such costs. b. Subdividers shall not be required to reserve land for public purposes other than streets. drainage, parks and playgrounds, except on a re- imbursement basis. They shall be reimbursed by the jurisdiction or agency requiring the land. They shall not be required to hold the land longer than eighteen (18) months following the recording of the plat for such purpose. If the land is not purchased within said eighteen (18) months, it may be sold as lots for the same purposes for which the sub- division was platted. To facilitate such possible eventual sale or reserved land as separate lots, the subdivider shall show on his final plat. by dotted lines and dotted numbers, the sizes and dimensions of lots to be created within the boundaries of any such res erved land, and may sell such lots, after the expiration date of the reservation, by lot number, without filing an amended plat. The Commission shall make certain that any such reserved land is divisible into lots and/ or streets in a manner compatible with the remainder of the subdivision. so that the subdivider will not be required to reserve an unusable portion of his subdivision. 2. The Commission shall not require any such reservation of land unless and until responsible representatives of the agencies for whom land is to be reserved have met with the Commission and the subdivider jointly to discuss the reservation. Such representatives may be required by the Commission to indicate the needs of their agency in writing. Insofar as is reasonably possible, the Commission shall require no dedication or reservation which calls for reimbursement to the subdivider unless it has been as sured that the reservation will be acquired by the agency requiring it with consent of the City Council within eighteen (18) months following the recordation of the final plat. 3. The Commission shall make certain that lands so reserved are divisible 10 the same manner as the remainder of the subdivision. SECTION VII - IMF ROVEMENTS A.
