In order for the City to provide for appropriate recreation facilities for all City residents, the Planning/Zoning Board shall require all minor and major subdivisions and site plans for residential development to post an off-tract assessment in accordance with Subsection B herein.

The contribution cost is established at $2,500 on each newly created lot (not including the original lot) and dwelling unit, as the case may be. The requirements for such fee shall be imposed by the Planning/Zoning Board at the time of minor or major subdivision approval or site plan, and shall be made a condition to be satisfied prior to the subdivision plat being filed with the County Clerk, it being the responsibility of the Planning/Zoning Board Chairman to confirm such payment prior to the signing of a final plat.

If the applicant perfects the subdivision by the filing of deeds rather than the filing of the subdivision plat, the fee shall be paid prior to the filing of such deeds. The applicant shall send written confirmation of payment to the Chairman of the Planning/Zoning Board.

The contribution for dwelling units created by site plans for residential development shall be paid prior to the issuance of a building permit for any such dwelling unit.
