    Conveyance of land for or payment of fee for acquisition of land for public purposes. The owner shall allocate and convey at least five percent of the total area of his mobile home park for park, playground or similar public purposes at a location agreed upon by the City and the owner, or at the option of the City, such owner shall, in lieu of such conveyance of land, pay to the City a cash amount equal to at least eleven percent of the raw land value of the total land area in the proposed mobile home park. The price of such land shall be established and agreed upon by the City and the owner prior to any construction of the mobile home park. If the City and the owner fail to agree on the value of such land, the value shall be established by three independent appraisers mutually acceptable to the owner and the City. Such payment shall be used only for the acquisition or development of parks and playgrounds or other similar purposes.
    B. 
    Storm water disposal and drainage easements. The planning and zoning commission may require the owner to dispose of storm water if such a provision is deemed necessary. If easements are required across abutting property to permit drainage of the mobile home park, it shall be the responsibility of the owner to acquire such easements.
    C. 
    Fire hydrants. Fire hydrants shall be installed. All fire hydrants shall be furnished by the City, and shall remain its property and be accessible to it and subject to its control; provided, that it shall be the owner's responsibility and expense to reimburse the City for the cost of the fire hydrants. It shall be the owner's responsibility to install such fire hydrants; however, such installation shall be done under the direction and supervision of the City engineer.

Where mobile home park streets parallel contiguous property of other owners, the owner may, upon approval of the council, retain a protection strip not less than one foot in width between the street and adjacent property; provided, that an agreement, approved by the City attorney, has been made by the mobile home park owner contracting to deed to the owners of the contiguous property the one foot or larger protection strip for a consideration named in the agreement, such consideration to be not more than the fair cost of land in the protection strip, the street improvement properly chargeable to the contiguous property, plus the value of one-half of the land in the street at the time of agreement until the time of the subdivision of such contiguous property. One copy of the agreement shall be submitted by the City attorney to the council prior to approval of the final plat.
