according to Detail 1004 with a valve and a plastic wrapped CL 52 DIP lead. Watermain
fittings shall be wrapped ductile iron.

replace the technical portion of the specification. The applicant is also required to provide a
cash escrow to guarantee restoration of the boulevards. Permits from the appropriate
regulatory agencies will be required, including the MPCA, Dept. of Health, Carver County
and the Watershed District.

CITY OF CHANHASSEN
SITE PLAN PERMIT

GENERAL CONDITION
1. Right to Proceed. Within the site plan area, the Developer may not grade or otherwise disturb
the earth, remove trees, construct 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, and 3) the City has
issued a building permit in reliance on the foregoing conditions having been satisfied.
2. Maintenance of site. The site shall be maintained in accordance with the approved site plan.
Plants and ground cover required as a condition of site plan approval which die shall be promptly
replaced.
3. 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 site plan development.
4. Erosion Control. Before the site is rough graded, and before any 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 or 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 there is full compliance with the
erosion control requirements. Erosion control shall be maintained until vegetative cover has been
restored. 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 removal of the erosion control measures.
5. 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.
6. Warranty. All trees, grass, and sod required in the approved Landscaping Plan, Plan C, shall
be warranted to be alive, of good quality, and disease free at the time of planting. All trees shall be
warranted for twelve (12) months from the time of planting. The Developer or his contractor(s)
shall post a letter of credit or cash escrow to the City to secure the warranties at the time of final
acceptance.

7. Responsibility for Costs.
A. 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 site
plan 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.
B. The Developer shall reimburse the City for costs incurred in the enforcement of this Permit,
including engineering and attorneys' fees.
C. The Developer shall pay in full all bills submitted to it by the City for obligations incurred
under this Permit within thirty (30) days after receipt. If the bills are not paid on time, the
City may halt all development work and construction. Bills not paid within thirty (30) days
shall accrue interest at the rate of 8% per year.
8. 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.
9. Miscellaneous.

for denial of building permits.
E. Severability. If any portion, section, subsection, sentence, clause, paragraph, or phrase of
this Permit is for any reason held invalid, such decision shall not affect the validity of the
remaining portion of this Contract.
F. Occupancy. Unless approved in writing by the City Engineer, no one may occupy a
building for which a building permit is issued on either a temporary or permanent basis until
the streets needed for access have been paved with a bituminous surface and the utilities
tested and approved by the city.
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. Recording. This Permit shall run with the land and may be recorded against the title to the
property.

addition to every other right, power or remedy, express or implied, now or hereafter arising,
