Clerk, 2) the necessary security and fees have been received by the City, 3) the plat has been
recorded with the County Recorder~ Office of the County where the plat is located, and 4) the City
Engineer has issued a letter that the foregoing conditions have been satisfied and then the
Developer may proceed.
2. Phased Development. If the plat is a phase of a multiphased preliminary plat, the
City may refuse to approve final plats of subsequent phases ff the Developer has breached this
Contract and the breach has not been remedied. Development of subsequent phases may not
proceed until Development Contracts for such phases are approved by the City.
3. Effect of Subdivision Approval For two (2) years from the date. of this Contract,
no amendments to the City's Comprehensive Hart, except an amendment placing the plat in the
current urban service area, or official controls shall apply to or affect the use, development density,
lot size, lot layout or dedications of the approved plat unless required by state or federal law or
agreed to in writing by the City and the Developer. Themaflrr, notwithstanding anything in this
Contract to the contrary, to the full extent permitted by state law the City may require compliance
with any amendments to the Cityh Comprehensive Plan, official controls, platting or dedication
requirements enacted after the date of this Contract
4. Improvements. The improvements specified in the Special Provisions of this
Contract shall be installed in accordance with City standards, ordinan~, and plato and
specifications which have been prepared and signed by a competent registered professional
engineer furnished to the City and approved by the City Engineer. The Developer shall obtain all
necessary permits from the Metropolitan Council Environmental Servi~ and other pertinent
agencies before proceeding with construction. The City will, at the Developer's expense, have one
or more construction inspectors and a soil en~neer insqx~ the work on a full or part-time basis.
The Developer shall also provide a qualified inspector to perform site inspections on a daily basis.
Inspector qualifications shall be submitted in writing to the City Engineer. The Developer shall
instruct its project engineerfmspector to respond to questions from the City Inspect~s) and to
make periodic site visits to satisfy that the construction is being performed to an acceptable level of
quality in accordance with the engineer~ design. The Developer or his en~neer shall schedule a
preconstruction meeting at a mutually agreeable time at the City Council chambers with all parties
concerned, including the City staff, to review the program for the consmmtion work.
5. Iron Monuments. Before the security for the completion of utilities is released, all
monuments must be correctly placed in the ground in accordance with Minn. Stat. § 505.02, Subd.
1. The Developer's surveyor shall submit a written notice to the City certifying that the monuments
have been installed.
6. License. The Developer hereby grants the City, its agents, employees, officers and
contractors a license to enter the plat to perform all work and inspections deemed appropriate by the
City in conjunction with plat development.
7. Site Erosion Control Before the site is rough graded, and before any utility
construction is commenced or building permits are issued, the erosion control plan, Plan B, shall be
implemented, inspected, and approved by the City. The City may impose additional erosion control
requirements if they would be beneficial. All areas disturbed by the excavation and backfilling
operations shall be reseeded forthwith after the completion of the work in that area. Except as
otherwise provided in the erosion control plan, seed shall be certified seed to provide a tem.mmub'

controlling erosion. If the Developer does not comply with the erosion control plan and schedule of
supplementary instructions received from the City, the City may take such action as it deems

Developer in advance of any proposed action, but failure of the City to do so will not affect the
Developer's and City's rights or obligations hereunder. No development will be allowed and no
building permits will be issued unless the plat is in full compliance with the erosion control
requirements. Erosion control needs to be maintained until vegetative cover has been restored,
even if construction has been completed and accepted. After the site has been stabili~,xl to where,
in the opinion of the City, there is no longer a need for erosion control, the City will author~ the
removal of the erosion control, i.e. hay bales and silt fence. The Developer shall remove and
dispose of the erosion control measure~.

by the City of the work and construction required by this Contract, the im.ra'ovements lying within
public easements shall become City prope~. After completion of the improvements, a
representative of the contractor, and a representative of the Developer's engineer will make a final
inspection of the work with the City Engineer. Before the City accepts the im,m'ovements, the City
Engineer shall be satisfied that all work is satisfactorily completed in accordance with the approved
plans and specifications and the Developer and his engineer shall submit a written statement to the
City Engineer certifying that the project has been completed in accordance with the approved plans
and specifications. The appropriate contractor waivers shall also be provided. Final acceptance of
the public improvements shall be by City Council resolution.
10. Claims, In the event that the City receives claims from laborexs, materialmen, or
others that work required by this Contract has been performed, the sums dne them have not been
paid, and the laborers, materialmen, or others are seeking payment out of the financial guatan~
posted with the City, and if the claims are not resolved at least ninety (90) days before the security

(2~6) inches caliper, either bare root in season, or balled and burlapped. The trees may not be
planted in the boulevard (area between curb and property line). In addition to any sod required as a
part of the erosion control plan, Plan B, the Developer or lot purchaser shall sod the boulevard area
and all drainage ways on each lot utilizing a minimum of four (4) inches of topsoil as a base. Seed
or sod shall also be placed on all dism_eoed areas of the lot~ If these improvements are not in place
at the time a certificate of occupancy is requested, a financial guarantee of $750.00 ia the form of
cash or letter of credit shall be provided to the City. These conditions must then be complied with
within two (2) months after the cerfifica~ of occupancy issued, except that ff the c, ertifi~ of

staff to verify satisfactory completion of all conditions. City staff will conduct inspections of
incomplete items with a $50.00 inspection fee deducted from the escrow fund for each inspection.

satisfied, the City may use the security to satisfy the requirements. The City may also use the
escrowed funds for maintenance of erosion control pursuant to City Code Section 20-94 or to
satisfy any other requirements of this Conffact or of City ordinance. These requirements
supplement, but do not replace, specific landscaping conditions that may have been required by the
City Council for project approval.
