subdivision, based on the average fair market value of the unplatted land for
which park fees have not already been paid that is, no later than at the time

acquisition and development or improvement of parks, recreational facilities,
playgrounds, trails, wetlands, or open space based on the approved park systems
plan. Cash payments must not be used for
ongoing operation or maintenance of parks, recreational facilities,
playgrounds, trails, wetlands, or open space.

dedication has been received, being resubdivided with the same number of lots,

If, as a result of resubdividing the property, the number of lots is
