The final (le- i termining factor will be the j general welfare of the Village as a whole, and not the question of whether or not the proposed ' subdivision may be expected to Pay its own way; but the ex- tent to which the subdivision i� may or may not be expected to pay its own way is one of the `cts which the Council may nsider."

Residential Lots, as to size I and area, shall be governed by and subject to the policy of the Village Council.

Further the policy shall be that all lots conform in area to the existing lots in the general area of the proposed subdivision. Except in the case of very small subdivisions in- volving less than ten lots in an 1 area where existing lot sizes are clearly less than 25,000 square feet, no lots shall be less than twenty-five thousand (25,000) I square feet in area, nor narrow-' ' . dar than one hundred twenty 20) feet at the building line, ,exclusive of any easement for, driveway purposes (utilities easement excepted)." 4 (c.)

The policy is that at least one such public open space shall be provided f or approximately each ten lots in the subdivision.

The subdivider shall leave land so dedicated in a condition sat- isfactory to the Village Council. "At the discretion of the Vil- lage Council if the circum- stances justify such action, the requirement for public open spaces may be waived or modi- fied upon payment by the sub- ci;vider to the Village of an ropriate sum of money to be used by the Village for the cre- ation or maintenance of other suitable public park area with- in the Village."
