             315      the municipality is requiring their developers or owners, by contractual arrangement or
             316      otherwise, to provide common facilities, inside or outside the proposed development, that have
             317      been provided by the municipality and financed through general taxation or other means, apart
             318      from user charges, in other parts of the municipality;
             319          (vi) extraordinary costs, if any, in servicing the newly developed properties; and
