3. Effect of Subdivision Approval. For two (2) years from the
date of this Contract, no amendments to the City's Comprehensive
Plan, 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. Thereafter,
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 City's 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, ordinances, and plans 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 Waste Control Commission and other agencies
before proceeding with construction. The City will, at the
Developer's expense, have one or more construction inspectors and
a soil engineer inspect the work on a full or part -time basis.
The Developer shall also provide a qualified inspector to perform
GC -1
site inspections on a daily basis. Inspector qualifications shall
be submitted in writing to the City Engineer. The Developer shall
instruct its project engineer/ inspector to respond to questions
from the City Inspector(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's design. The
Developer or his engineer 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 construction work. Within sixty (60) days after the
completion of the improvements and before the security is
released, the Developer shall supply the City with the following:
(1) a complete set of reproducible Mylar as -built plans, (2) two
complete sets of blue line as -built plans, (3) two complete sets
of utility tie sheets, (4) location of buried fabric used for soil
stabilization, (5) location stationing and swing ties of all
utility stubs, and (6) bench mark network.
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 temporary
ground cover as rapidly as possible. All seeded areas shall be
fertilized, mulched, and disc anchored as necessary for seed
t 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
development will be allowed and no building permits will be issued
unless the plat is in full compliance with the erosion control
GC -2
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.
7a. Erosion Control During Construction of a Dwelling or Other
Building. Before a building permit is issued for construction of a
dwelling or other building on a lot, a $500.00 cash escrow or
letter of credit per lot shall also be furnished the City to
guarantee compliance with City Code § 20 -94.
8. Clean up. The Developer shall maintain a neat and
orderly work site and shall daily clean, on and off site, dirt and

agents or assigns.

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
