The dedication requirement must be reasonably related to the request and be roughly proportional to the impacts generated by the request. i WIN". 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.
