Section 5.01 Purpose
A. This article is adopted to provide recreational areas in the form of neighborhood parks as a function
of subdivision development in the Town. This article is enacted in accordance with the home rule
powers of the Town, granted under the state constitution, and the statutes of the state including, but
not by way of limitation, V.T.C.A., Local Government Code § 54.004, and Ch. 212. It is hereby
declared by the Town Council that recreational areas in the form of neighborhood parks are
necessary and in the public welfare, and that the only adequate procedure to provide for
neighborhood parks is by integrating such a requirement into the procedure for planning and
developing property or subdivision in the Town, whether such development consists of new
construction on vacant land or rebuilding and remodeling of structures on existing residential
property.
B. Neighborhood parks are those parks providing for a variety of outdoor recreational opportunities and
within convenient distances from a majority of the residences to be served thereby. The primary cost
of neighborhood parks should be borne by the ultimate residential property owners who, by reason
of the proximity of their property to such parks, shall be the primary beneficiaries of such facilities.
Therefore, this article is adopted to effect the purposes stated,

Section 5.02 Dedication Procedures
A. Whenever a Final Plat is filed on record with the county clerk of Denton or Tarrant County for
development of a residential area in accordance with the planning and zoning ordinances of the
Town, such plat shall contain a clear fee simple dedication of an area of land to the Town for park
purposes, which area shall equal one (1) acres for every 44 proposed dwelling units.
B. The Town Council declares that development of an area smaller than five (5) acres for public park
purposes is impractical. Therefore, if fewer than 220 dwelling units are proposed by a plat filed for
approval, the developer shall be required to pay the applicable cash in lieu of land amount provided
by Section 4, rather than to dedicate any land area. No plat showing a dedication for park purposes
of less than five (5) acres shall be approved.
C. In all other instances, the Town shall have the right to accept the dedication for approval on the final
plat, or to refuse the dedication, after consideration of the recommendation of the planning and
zoning commission and the Parks and Recreation Director, and to require payment of cash in lieu of
land in the amount provided by Section 4, if the Town determines that sufficient park area is already
in the public domain in the area of the proposed development, or if the recreation potential in the
area of the proposed would be better served by expanding or improving existing parks.

Section 5.03 Money in Lieu of Land
Where Town Council determines that a payment of money in lieu of land shall be made, the following
provisions shall apply.
A. Amount Required to be Paid
Any payment of money required to be paid by this Ordinance shall be in an amount equal to
the average per acre value of the whole property included within the residential development.
The acquisition price for land shall be equal to the appraised value of the land existing in effect
at the time of Final Plat approval.
2. In determining the average per acre value of the total land included within the proposed
residential development, the Town Council may base its determination on one or more of the
following:
The most recent appraisal of all or part of the property made by the central appraisal
district; or
b. Confirmed sale prices of all or part of the property to be developed, or comparable
property in close proximity thereof, which have occurred within two (2) years
immediately proceeding the date of determination; or
c. Where, in the judgment of the Town Council, (i) or (ii) above would not, because of
changed conditions, be a reliable indication of the then current value of land being
developed, an independent appraisal of the whole property shall be obtained by the
Town and paid for by the developer.

suitable land in the proper amount is dedicated which is contiguous with the unsuitable land.
C. Drainage areas may be accepted as part of a park if the channel is constructed in accordance with
