an acre of such land shall be dedicated for each dwelling unit." The " 1/35th" standard results in approximately the same 10 acreage requirement as derived by the formula. The "1/35th" standard offers an advantage, however, in that it would result in the same amount of land dedication over time. Use of the formula would result in decreasing amounts of land as the population/household decreased . The " 1/20th" standard for floodplain is higher given the nature and location of the land . Another change to this section involves the reference to Article 5. 1 . 1 and Article 6. 12 of the Zoning Ordinance. For high density projects (5 units/acre and above) and planned developments, the Recreation Space Ratios are proposed for amendment to require 1/28th of an acre for each dwelling unit. The difference between the 1/35th requirement and the 1/28th standard would be established as "private" recreation for the use of the residents of high density and planned development projects. The reason for including such a provision is in recognition of the greater demands for recreation created by such projects. 3. IV-13-7-b-3 Stte Suitability Subsection (a) has been revised to allow locations of recreation space in areas other than those "centrally located" , Wording has been added to the effect that where proposed park sites are shown on the adopted Land Use Plan, and a subdivision plat contains a portion of the park site, then the recreation area may be located at the edge of the subdivision so that additional land may be added as adjacent land is subdivided . 4. 1V-8-7-j)-4 Site improvements The first paragraph of this section has been deleted and wording added to the second paragraph which indicates that private recreation facilities (either required or provided at the option of the developer) must meet the standards contained therein . Since the basic intent of the ordinance Is to provide for "public" facilities, standards are unnecessary except for "private" recreation areas. 5 . IV-D-7-b- Method 91 provision ac Dedication This section has been amended to require mandatory dedication where land is designated on the adopted Land Use Plan for park and/or greenway purposes. Where private recreation facilities are also required (or to be provided at the developervs option) , conveyance to an association of homeowners would be required .
