Lands required to be dedicated shall be so located as to meet the needs of open spaces, parks, playgrounds, rights-of-way protecting major streams or open drainageways, buffer areas and other environmental criteria, or to provide additional neighborhood area for recreational purposes or school purposes. The Planning Board shall make certain that not only Township requirements shall be satisfied, but that dedicated areas be so located as to meet any possible future needs of the neighborhood or region.

The Planning Board shall have full discretion as to the location and size of the various use need areas and their distribution. The Planning Board shall not generally approve areas of less than 20% of the gross land area except when such a site is considered adequate for its specific use, and the Board shall make certain that a reasonable portion of required dedicated area shall be located so as to specifically serve the need of the development where located.
