ground cover as rapidly as possible. All seeded areas shall be
fertilized, mulched, and disc anchored as necessary for seed
retention. The parties recognize that time is of the essence in
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
appropriate to control erosion at the Developer's expense. The
City will endeavor to notify the 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
GC -2
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 stabilized to
where, in the opinion of the City, there is no longer a need for
erosion control, the City will authorize the removal of the erosion
control, i.e. hay bales and silt fence. The Developer shall remove
and dispose of the erosion control measures.

Other Building. Before a building permit is issued for

8. Clean up. The Developer shall maintain a neat and
orderly work site and shall daily clean, on and off site, dirt and
debris, including blowables, from streets and the surrounding area
that has resulted from construction work by the Developer, its
agents or assigns.
9. Acceptance and Ownership of Improvements. Upon
completion and acceptance by the City of the work and construction
required by this Contract, the improvements lying within public
easements shall become City property. 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 improvements, 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 attesting to same with
appropriate contractor waivers. Final acceptance of the public
improvements shall be by City Council resolution.
10. Claims. In the event that the City receives claims from
laborers, materialmen, or others that work required by this
Contract has been performed, the sums due them have not been paid,
and the laborers, materialmen, or others are seeking payment out of
the financial guarantees posted with the City, and if the claims
are not resolved at least ninety (90) days before the security
required by this Contract will expire, the Developer hereby
authorizes the City to commence an Interpleader action pursuant to
Rule 22, Minnesota Rules of Civil Procedure for the District
Courts, to draw upon the letters of credit in an amount up to 125%
of the claim(s) and deposit the funds in compliance with the Rule,
and upon such deposit, the Developer shall release, discharge, and
dismiss the City from any further proceedings as it pertains to the
GC -3
letters of credit deposited with the District Court, except that
the Court shall retain jurisdiction to determine attorneys' fees.

building permits for construction, the Developer, its successors or
assigns, shall pay to the City the park and trail dedication fees
then in force pursuant to Chanhassen City Ordinances and City
Council resolutions. One -third (1/3) of the park and trail cash
contribution shall be paid contemporaneously with the City's

shall be paid at the time building permits are issued: rate in
effect when a building permit is issued minus the amount previously
paid.
12. Landscaping. Landscaping shall be installed in
accordance with Plan D.
Other species of trees may be approved by the building inspector.
Trees which can cause a public nuisance, such as cotton producing
trees, or can be a public hazard, such as bug infestation or weak
bark, are prohibited. The minimum tree size shall be two and
one -half (2%) 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 disturbed 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 in 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 certificate of occupancy issued, except that
if the certificate of occupancy is issued between October 1 through
May 1 these conditions must be complied with by the following July
1st. Upon expiration of the time period, inspections will be
conducted by City 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. After satisfactory inspection, the financial
guarantee shall be returned. If the requirements are not
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 Contract or of City
ordinances. These requirements supplement, but do not replace,
specific landscaping conditions that may have been required by the
City Council for project approval.
