Clerk, 2) the necessary security and fees have been received by the City, 3) the plat has been
recorded with the County Recorder's 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 if 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 Plan, except an amendment placing the plat in the
current urban se~wice 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 Council Environmental Services 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 engineer inspect 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 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
GC-1
preconstruction meeting at a mutually agq'eeable time at the City Council chambers with all parties
concerned, including the City staff, to review the prograln for the construction work.
5. h'on 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 SUl~eyor shall submit a written notice to the City certifying that the monuments
have been installed.
6. License. The Developer hereby gq'ants 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 con~nenced 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
othe~vvise 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 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
supplementms~ instructions received fi'om the City, the City may take such action as it deems
appropriate to control erosion at the Developer's expense. The City w'ill 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
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 d;velling 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 debris, including blowables, fi'om 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 COlnpletion of the improvements, a
representative of the contractor, and a representative of the Developer's engineer will make a final
GC-2
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 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 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 letters of credit deposited with the
District Court, except that the Court shall retain jurisdiction to determine attorneys' fees.
11. Park and Trail Dedication. At the time of issuance of 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 approval of the subdivision. The balance, calculated as follows, shall be paid at the time
building permits are issued: rate in effect ~vhen a building permit is issued minus the amount
previously paid.
12. Landscaping. Landscaping shall be installed in accordance with Plan D. 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
(2½) 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 ail 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 al2er 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
GC-3
supplement, but do not replace, specific landscaping conditions that may have been required by the
City Council for project approval.
13. Warrant3,. The Developer warrants all work required to be performed by it against
poor material and faulty workmanship for a period of two (2) years after its completion and
acceptance by the City. All trees, grass, and sod shall be warranted to be alive, of good quality, and
disease flee at the time of planting. All landscape plantings shall be warranted for eighteen (18)
months from the time of formal acceptance by the City. The Developer or his contractor(s) shall
post a letter of credit or other security acceptable to the City to secure the warranties at the time of
final acceptance.
14. Lot Plans. Prior to the issuance of building permits, an acceptable Grading,
Drainage, Erosion Control including silt fences, and Tree Removal Plan shall be submitted for each
lot for review and approval by the City Engineer. Each plan shall assure that drainage is maintained
away from buildings and that tree removal is consistent with development plans and City
Ordinance.
15. Existing Assessments. Any existing assessments against the plat will be re-spread
against the plat in accordance with City standards.
16. Hook-up Charges. The Developer also acknowledges overall sanitary sewer and
water trunk availability to the site and the hook-up charges established by the City as reasonable
compensation for oversizing costs previously incmTed, as well as, long-term maintenance. Said
