On October 23, 2006 City Council approved the final plat, development contract and
construction plans for the Lakeside development. After Council approval, the developer
submitted requested changes to the development contract. Staff and the City Attorney
have reviewed the changes and find them acceptable. In general, the changes are:
1. Paragraph 6 Security. The security amount is based on the estimated cost to
install improvements to serve the units within the final plat only. The letter of
credit can not be reduced below 10% of the original amount until all of the
proposed improvements are installed and a warranty is provided for public
improvements.
2. Paragraph 7 Notice. The telephone number was revised.
3. Paragraph 8 Other Special C~nditions
A. Securities and Fees. The letter of credit amount was revised.
B. Planning Department Conditions of Approval, 1) A building permit
may also be issued for the community club house.

house.
The condition regarding updating the grading plan to show the new
driveway alignment to Building A was deleted since the driveway
will remain as proposed.
18) Lateral sanitary sewer and waterrnain to service the lots and
blocks within the final plat shall be installed first. Once these
segments of sanitary sewer and waterrnain have been installed and
tested the developer may elect to extend the remainder of the lateral
sanitary sewer and waterrnain to serve future phases of the
development.
The City of Chanhassen . A growing community with clean lakes, quality schools, a charming downtown, thriving businesses, winding trails, and beautiful parks. A great place to live, work, and play.
~
28) The following was added: In the event such asphalt is not installed by the above

a location and design as approved by the City Fire Marshall and the City engineering
department.
D. Environmental Resources Conditions of Approval
5) The applicant shall work with staff to revise the slopes within 30 feet of the
normal water level of Pond 1 to provide adequate access for future stormwater
infrastructure maintenance activities.
7) The SWPPP shall be revised as follows:
a. Include a sequencing/timing discussion of the erosion and sediment control
with includes, but is not limited to:
1. Sediment basin installation (prior to or concurrent with grading)
11. Silt fence installation

CITY OF CHANHASSEN
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
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. 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
GC-l
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
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. S 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
City in conjunction with plat development.
8. Site Erosion and Sediment Control. Before the site is rough graded, and before
any utility construction is commenced or building permits are issued, the erosion and sediment
control plan, Plan B, shall be implemented, inspected, and approved by the City. The City may
impose additional erosion and sediment 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 and sediment
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 and sediment transport. If
the Developer does not comply with the erosion and sediment control plan and schedule of
supplementary instructions received from the City, the City may take such action as it deems
appropriate to control erosion and sediment transport 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
and sediment control requirements. Erosion and sediment 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
and sediment control, the City will authorize the removal of the erosion and sediment control, i.e.
hay bales and silt fence. The Developer shall remove and dispose of the erosion and sediment
control measures.
GC-2
Sa. 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 to the City to guarantee compliance with
City Code ~ 7-22.
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. Unless
otherwise approved by the City, trees not listed in the City's approved tree list are prohibited. The
minimum tree size shall be two and one-half (2Y2) 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 and sediment 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
GC-3
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 7-22 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 public and private 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 public
improvements, or 2) a letter of credit for twenty-five percent (25%) of the amount of the original
cost of the public improvements.
A. The required warranty period for materials and workmanship for the utility
contractor installing public sewer and public 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 public 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 one full growing
season 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
GC-4
the costs over a four year term at the rates in effect at time of application. If paid with the building
permit, the party applying for the building permit is responsible for payment of these fees.
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
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 (2Y2%) of construction costs for the first $1,000,000
and one and one-half percent (1 Y2%) 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.
GC-5
B. In addition to the administrative fee, the Developer shall reimburse the City for
all costs incurred by the City for providing construction and erosion and sediment control
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 2IE 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
approval and development. The Developer shall indemnify the City and its officers and employees
for all costs, damages, or expenses which the City may payor incur in consequence of such claims,
including attorneys' fees.

costs incurred in the enforcement of this Contract, including engineering and attorneys' fees.
E. The Developer shall pay in full all bills submitted to it by the City for obligations
incurred under this Contract within thirty (30) days after receipt. If the bills are not paid on time,
the City may halt all plat development work and construction, including but not limited to the
issuance of building permits for lots which the Developer mayor may not have sold, until the bills
are paid in full. Bills not paid within thirty (30) days shall accrue interest at the rate of 8% per year.
F. In addition to the charges and special assessments referred to herein, other
charges and special assessments may be imposed such as, but not limited to, sewer availability
charges ("SAC"), City water connection charges, City sewer connection charges, and building
permit fees.

submitted within four months of final acceptance of public utilities. All digital information
submitted to the City shall be in the Carver County Coordinate system.
22. Developer's Default. In the event of default by the Developer as to any of the work
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.
GC-6
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

shall have no responsibility or liability to lot purchasers or others for the City's failure to enforce
this Contract or for allowing deviations from it.
D. Breach of Contract. Breach of the terms of this Contract by the Developer
shall be grounds for denial of building permits, including lots sold to third parties. The City may
also issue a stop work order halting all plat development until the breach has been cured and the
City has received satisfactory assurance that the breach will not reoccur.
E. Severability. If any portion, section, subsection, sentence, clause, paragraph, or
phrase of this Contract is for any reason held invalid, such decision shall not affect the validity of
the remaining portion of this Contract.

bituminous surface and the site graded and revegetated in accordance with Plan B of the
development plans.
G. Waivers/Amendments. The action or inaction of the City shall not constitute a
waiver or amendment to the provisions of this Contract. To be binding, amendments or waivers
shall be in writing, signed by the parties and approved by written resolution of the City Council.
The City's failure to promptly take legal action to enforce this Contract shall not be a waiver or
release.
H. Release. This Contract shall run with the land and may be recorded against the
title to the property. After the Developer has completed the work required of it under this Contract,

must be given ten (10) days advance written notice of the cancellation of the insurance. The
certificate may not contain any disclaimer for failure to give the required notice.
J. Remedies. Each right, power or remedy herein conferred upon the City is
cumulative and in addition to every other right, power or remedy, expressed or implied, now or
hereafter arising, available to City, at law or in equity, or under any other agreement, and each and
every right, power and remedy herein set forth or otherwise so existing may be exercised from time
to time as often and in such order as may be deemed expedient by the City and shall not be a waiver
of the right to exercise at any time thereafter any other right, power or remedy.
K. Assignability. The Developer may not assign this Contract without the written
permission of the City Council. The Developer's obligation hereunder shall continue in full force
and effect even if the Developer sells one or more lots, the entire plat, or any part of it.

contract shall be from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on weekdays, from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on
Saturdays with no such activity allowed on Sundays or any recognized legal holidays. Under
emergency conditions, this limitation may be waived by the consent of the City Engineer. Any
approved work performed after dark shall be adequately illuminated. If construction occurs outside

First violation
Second violation
Third & subsequent violations
$ 500.00
$ 1,000.00

cease for seven (7) calendar days
M. Noise Amplification. The use of outdoor loudspeakers, bullhorns, intercoms,
and similar devices is prohibited in conjunction with the construction of homes, buildings, and the
improvements required under this contract. The administrative penalty for violation of construction
hours shall also apply to violation of the provisions in this paragraph.
N. Access. All access to the plat prior to the City accepting the roadway
improvements shall be the responsibility of the Developer regardless if the City has issued building
permits or occupancy permits for lots within the plat.
GC-8
O. Street Maintenance. The Developer shall be responsible for all street
maintenance until streets within the plat are accepted by the City. Warning signs shall be placed by
the Developer when hazards develop in streets to prevent the public from traveling on same and
directing attention to detours. If streets become impassable, the City may order that such streets
shall be barricaded and closed. The Developer shall maintain a smooth roadway surface and
provide proper surface drainage. The Developer may request, in writing, that the City plow snow
on the streets prior to final acceptance of the streets. The City shall have complete discretion to
approve or reject the request. The City shall not be responsible for reshaping or damage to the
street base or utilities because of snow plowing operations. The provision of City snow plowing
service does not constitute final acceptance of the streets by the City.
P. Storm Sewer Maintenance. The Developer shall be responsible for cleaning and
maintenance of the storm sewer system (including ponds, pipes, catch basins, culverts and swales)
within the plat and the adjacent off-site storm sewer system that receives storm water from the plat.
The Developer shall follow all instructions it receives from the City concerning the cleaning and
maintenance of the storm sewer system. The Developer's obligations under this paragraph shall end
two (2) years after the public street and storm drainage improvements in the plat have been
accepted by the City. Twenty percent (20%) of the storm sewer costs, shown under section 6 of the
special provisions of this contract, will be held by the City for the duration of the 2-year
maintenance period.
Q. Soil Treatment Systems. If soil treatment systems are required, the Developer
shall clearly identify in the field and protect from alteration, unless suitable alternative sites are first
provided, the two soil treatment sites identified during the platting process for each lot. This shall
be done prior to the issuance of a Grading Permit. Any violation/disturbance of these sites shall
render them as unacceptable and replacement sites will need to be located for each violated site in
order to obtain a building permit.
R. Variances. By approving the plat, the Developer represents that all lots in the
plat are buildable without the need for variances from the City's ordinances.
S. Compliance with Laws, Ordinances, and Regulations. In the development of the
plat the Developer shall comply with all laws, ordinances, and regulations of the following
authorities:
1. City of Chanhassen;
2. State of Minnesota, its agencies, departments and commissions;
3. United States Army Corps of Engineers;
4. Watershed District(s);
5. Metropolitan Government, its agencies, departments and commissions.
T. Proof of Title. Upon request, the Developer shall furnish the City with evidence
satisfactory to the City that it has the authority of the fee owners and contract for deed purchasers to
enter into this Development Contract.
GC-9
U. Soil Conditions. The Developer acknowledges that the City makes no
representations or warranties as to the condition of the soils on the property or its fitness for
construction of the improvements or any other purpose for which the Developer may make use of
such property. The Developer further agrees that it will indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the
City, its governing body members, officers, and employees from any claims or actions arising out of
the presence, if any, of hazardous wastes or pollutants on the property, unless hazardous wastes or
pollutants were caused to be there by the City.
V. Soil Correction. The Developer shall be responsible for soil correction work on
the property. The City makes no representation to the Developer concerning the nature of
suitability of soils nor the cost of correcting any unsuitable soil conditions which may exist. On lots
which have no fill material a soils report from a qualified soils engineer is not required unless the
City's building inspection department determines from observation that there may be a soils
problem. On lots with fill material that have been mass graded as part of a multi-lot grading
project, a satisfactory soils report from a qualified soils engineer shall be provided before the City
issues a building permit for the lot. On lots with fill material that have been custom graded, a
satisfactory soils report from a qualified soils engineer shall be provided before the City inspects the
foundation for a building on the lot.
W. Haul Routes. The Developer, the Developer's contractors or subcontractors
must submit proposed haul routes for the import or export of soil, construction material,
construction equipment or construction debris, or any other purpose. All haul routes must be
approved by the City Engineer
X. Development Signs. The Developer shall post a six foot by eight foot
development sign in accordance with City Detail Plate No. 5313 at each entrance to the project.
The sign shall be in place before construction of the required improvements commences and
shall be removed when the required improvements are completed, except for the final lift of
asphalt on streets. The signs shall contain the following information: project name, name of
developer, developer's telephone number and designated contact person, allowed construction
hours.
y. Construction Plans. Upon final plat approval, the developer shall provide the
City with two complete sets of full-size construction plans and four sets of ll"xl7" reduced
construction plan sets and three sets of specifications. Within four months after the completion of
the utility improvements and base course pavement 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 full-size sets of blue line/paper as-built plans, (3) two complete sets
of utility tie sheets, (4) location of buried fabric used for soil stabilization, (5) location stationing

Z. As-Built Lot Survevs. An as-built lot survey will be required on all lots prior to
the Certificate of Occupancy being issued. The as-built lot survey must be prepared, signed, and
dated by a Registered Land Surveyor. Sod and the bituminous driveways must be installed before
the as-built survey is completed. If the weather conditions at the time of the as-built are not
conducive to paving the driveway and/or installing sod, a temporary Certificate of Occupancy may
be issued and the as-built escrow withheld until all work is complete.
