• Lands to be dedicated to the County to fulfill the standards of this section shall be identified on the detailed subdivision plan and shall be dedicated to the County at the time of final subdivision plat approval.
1. Acceptance
   • Acceptance of the lands to be dedicated shall be at the discretion of the Board of County Commissioners.
2. Criteria
