Maintenance of Open Space
The applicant shall, at the time of preliminary plan submission, provide a plan acceptable to the City that demonstrates that all common open space and natural conservation areas will be managed by a responsible party able to maintain those areas in a natural and open space state, and in a neat and attractive condition in compliance with any applicable laws, ordinances, rules or regulations, in perpetuity. The plan may include, without being limited to, mechanisms such as deed restrictions, covenants or conditions which include the authority to lien the developed property for the costs of maintenance; conservation easements to private or public entities; dedication to a governmental entity; non-development agreements; homeowner, condominium or town home or community associations maintenance agreements; use of national, state or local land trusts, or other legal means that ensure the permanent protection and perpetual maintenance of such areas in an undeveloped and properly maintained condition. Such legal means shall be legally enforceable by the City or private parties, or both, and must provide that upon failure of a responsible party to properly manage and maintain such areas, the City may assume those responsibilities and charge the owners of the developed property (lot owners within that subdivision responsible for the maintenance of the open space lands) a fee which covers maintenance and administrative costs and collect such costs through a lien on the property if necessary. Where appropriate, and when approved by the City, some or all of such areas can be maintained in a variety of ways, including, without being limited to, being kept for agricultural or passive recreational use or left in the natural state. The form of any instrument used to ensure open space and natural areas preservation shall be approved by the City Attorney as to form and the Director of Planning and Development Services as to content before being submitted as part of any requested land use approval and recorded with the Register of Deeds.
