The attached development contract incorporates the conditions of approval from
the final platting and construction plans and specifications review process. Staff
has calculated the required financial security to guarantee compliance with the
terms of the development contract at $417,488 and the administration fees total of
$60,628 which includes all of the required SWMP and Park fees. No City funds
are needed as part of this private development project.
The applicant has also submitted detailed construction plans and specifications for
staff review and City Council approval. Staff has reviewed the plans and
specifications and finds the plans still need some minor modifications. Staff
requests that the City Council grant staff the flexibility to administratively approve
the plans after working with the applicant's engineer to modify the plans
accordingly. It is therefore recommended that the construction plans and
specifications for Highlands at Bluff Creek dated May 27, 2004, prepared by
Westwood Professional Services and the development contract dated June 14,
2004 be approved conditioned upon the following:
The applicant shall enter into the development contract and supply the City
with a cash escrow or letter of credit in the amount of $417,488 and pay an
administration fee of $60,628.
2. The applicant's engineer shall work with City staff in revising the construction

DEVELOPMENT CONTRACT
(Developer Installed Improvements)
EXHIBIT "B"
GENERAL CONDITIONS
1. Right to Proceed. Within the plat or land to be platted, the Developer may not
grade or otherwise disturb the earth, remove trees, construct sewer lines, water lines, streets,
utilities, public or private improvements, or any buildings until all the following conditions have
been satisfied: 1) this agreement has been fully executed by both parties and filed with the City
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 or Registrar of Title's Office of the County where the

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. Park charges and
area charges for sewer and water referred to in this Contract are not being imposed on outlots, if
any, in the plat that are designated in an approved preliminary plat for future subdivision into lots
and blocks. Such charges will be calculated and imposed when the outlots are final platted into lots
and blocks.
3. Preliminary Plat Status. If the plat is a phase of a multi-phased preliminary plat,
the preliminary plat approval for all phases not final platted shall lapse and be void unless final
platted into lots and blocks, not outlots, within two (2) years after preliminary plat approval.
4. Changes in Official Controls. 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.
5. 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
GC-1
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
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.
6. 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.
7. 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

8. 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 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 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.
8a. 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.
GC-2
9. 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.
10. 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 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.
11. 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.
12. Park Dedication. The Developer shall pay full park dedication fees in conjunction
with the installation of the plat improvements. The park dedication fees shall be the current amount
in force at the time of final platting pursuant to Chanhassen City Ordinances and City Council
resolutions.
13. 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
(21/2) 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
GC-3
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.
14. Warranty. The Developer warrants all improvements required to be constructed by
it pursuant to this Contract against poor material and faulty workmanship. The Developer shall
submit either 1) a warranty/maintenance bond for 100% of the cost of the improvement, or 2) a
letter of credit for twenty-five percent (25%) of the amount of the original cost of the
improvements.
A. The required warranty period for materials and workmanship for the utility
contractor installing public sewer and water mains shall be two (2) years from the date of final
written City acceptance of the work.
B. The required warranty period for all work relating to street construction, including
concrete curb and gutter, sidewalks and trails, materials and equipment shall be subject to two (2)
years from the date of final written acceptance.
C. The required warranty period for sod, trees, and landscaping is eighteen (18) months
following acceptance by the City.
15. 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.
16. Existing Assessments. Any existing assessments against the plat will be re-spread
against the plat in accordance with City standards.
17. 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 incurred, as well as, long-term maintenance. Said
hook-up charges are collectible at time of building permit unless a written request is made to assess
the costs over a four year term at the rates in effect at time of application.
18. Public Street Lighting. The Developer shall have installed and pay for public
street lights in accordance with City standards. The public street lights shall be accepted for City
ownership and maintenance at the same time that the public street is accepted for ownership and
maintenance. A plan shall be submitted for the City Engineer's approval prior to the installation.
Before the City signs the final plat, the Developer shall pay the City a fee of $300.00 for each street
GC-4
light installed in the plat. The fee shall be used by the City for furnishing electricity and
maintaining each public street light for twenty (20) months.
19. Signage. All street signs, traffic signs, and wetland monumentation required by the
City as a part of the plat shall be furnished and installed by the City at the sole expense of the
Developer.
20. House Pads. The Developer shall promptly furnish the City "as-built" plans
indicating the amount, type and limits of fill on any house pad location.
21. Responsibility for Costs.
A. The Developer shall pay an administrative fee in conjunction with the
installation of the plat improvements. This fee is to cover the cost of City Staff time and overhead
for items such as review of construction documents, preparation of the Development Contract,
monitoring construction progress, processing pay requests, processing security reductions, and final
acceptance of improvements. This fee does not cover the City's cost for construction inspections.
The fee shall be calculated as follows:
i)
if the cost of the construction of public improvements is less than
$500,000, three percent (3%) of construction costs;
ii)
if the cost of the construction of public improvements is between
$500,000 and $1,000,000, three percent (3%) of construction costs
for the first $500,000 and two percent (2%) of construction costs
over $500,000;
iii)
if the cost of the construction of public improvements is over
$1,000,000, two and one-half percent (2V2%) of construction costs
for the first $1,000,000 and one and one-half percent (11/2%) of
construction costs over $1,000,000.
Before the City signs the final plat, the Developer shall deposit with the City a fee based upon
construction estimates. After construction is completed, the final fee shall be determined based
upon actual construction costs. The cost of public improvements is defined in paragraph 6 of the
Special Provisions.
B. In addition to the administrative fee, the Developer shall reimburse the City for
all costs incurred by the City for providing construction inspections. This cost will be periodically
billed directly to the Developer based on the actual progress of the construction. Payment shall be
due in accordance with Article 20E of this Agreement.
C. The Developer shall hold the City and its officers and employees harmless from
claims made by itself and third parties for damages sustained or costs incurred resulting from plat

to be performed by it hereunder, the City may, at its option, perform the work and the Developer
shall promptly reimburse the City for any expense incurred by the City, provided the Developer is
first given notice of the work in default, not less than four (4) days in advance. This Contract is a
license for the City to act, and it shall not be necessary for the City to seek a Court order for
permission to enter the land. When the City does any such work, the City may, in addition to its
other remedies, assess the cost in whole or in part.
23. Miscellaneous.
A. Construction Trailers. Placement of on-site construction trailers and temporary
job site offices shall be approved by the City Engineer as a part of the pre-construction meeting for
installation of public improvements. Trailers shall be removed from the subject property within
