I The required right-of-way dedication must be located on land owned by the
applicant; i.e. we cannot make a requirement that an applicant dedicate right-of-
way offsite, on land not under the applicant's ownership, nor on land not creating
the development impacts.
2. The dedication requirement must be reasonably related to the request and be
roughly proportional to the impacts generated by the request.

is nothing in state statute that requires this. The City does not have to reimburse an applicant or
otherwise pay for right-of-way if more than half of a right-of-way dedication is required on his
property.
The City would be responsible for acquiring right-of-way if a street was planned or required that
was not a direct result of the traffic or access impacts of a development.
