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

dedications of the approved plat unless required by state or
' federal law or agreed to in writing by the City and the

accordance with City standards, ordinances, and plans and speci-
fications 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 instruct its engineer to '
respond to questions from the City Inspector(s ) and to make
periodic site visits to satisfy that the construction is being per-
formed to an acceptable level of quality in accordance with the II
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 sta-
tioning of all utility stubs, (6) bench mark network, and (7) a
200 scale and a 500 scale reproducible mylar copy of the plat.
5 . License. The Developer hereby grants the City, its '
agents , employees, officers and contractors a license to enter

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
111
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 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 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
GC-2
i
I

Developer may remove the erosion control measures .

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.
' 9. Claims. In the event that the City receives claims
from labor, 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

release, discharge, and dismiss the City from any further pro-
ceedings as it pertains to the letters of credit deposited with

tion to determine attorneys ' fees .
