CITY OF CHANHASSEN
SITE PLAN PERMIT
EXHIBIT fiB"
GENERAL CONDITIONS
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, 3) the site
plan has been recorded with the County Recorder's Office of the County where the project is
located, and 4) the City Planner has issued a letter that the foregoing conditions have been satisfied
and then the Developer may proceed.
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 E, 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
8
contractor(s) shall post maintenance bonds (Miller Davis Company Form No. 1636 or equal) or
other security acceptable 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 plat 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.
A. Construction Trailers. Placement of on-site construction trailers and temporary job

D. Breach of Contract. Breach of the terms of this Permit by the Developer shall be
grounds 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
9
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.

cumulative and in addition to every other right, power or remedy, express or

building permit.
L. Compliance with Laws, Ordinances, and Regulations. In the development of the site

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
