AGREEMENT dated February 22,2010, by and between the CITY OF CHANHASSEN, a
Minnesota municipal corporation, (the "City"), and Center Companies, LLC (the "Developer").

as the "project").
The land is legally described as:

and which lies South of a line drawn East perpendicular to the West line of Tract C,
Registered Land Survey No. 59, files of the Registrar of Titles, Carver County, from a
point thereon distant 103.00 feet South, as measured along said West line, from the
Northwest corner of said Tract, C Hennepin County, Minnesota.
2. Conditions of Site Plan Approval. The City hereby approves the site plan on condition
that the Developer enter into this Permit and furnish the security required by it.

terms of this Permit, the written terms shall control. The plans are:

1
4. Time of Performance. The Developer shall install all required screening and landscaping
by October 1,2010. The Developer may, however, request an extension of time from the City. If
an extension is granted, it shall be conditioned upon updating the security posted by the Developer
to reflect cost increases and the extended completion date.
5. Security. To guarantee compliance with the terms of this Permit, the Developer shall
furnish the City with a letter of credit from a bank, cash escrow, or equivalent ("security") for
$3,750 (boulevard restoration, erosion control and landscaping). If the Developer requests a
Certificate of Occupancy prior to the installation of site landscaping, then the developer shall
provide to the city a letter of credit or cash escrow in an amount sufficient to insure the installation
of said landscaping.
PROCEDURES FOR
LETTER OF CREDIT REDUCTION

such request.
c. Any reduction shall be subject to City approval.
6. Notices. Required notices to the Developer shall be in writing, and shall be either hand
delivered to the Developer, its employees or agents, or mailed to the Developer by certified mail at

Mr. Ben Merriman
Center Companies, LLC
2025 Coulter Boulevard, Suite 215
Chanhassen, MN 55317
Notices to the City shall be in writing and shall be either hand delivered to the City Manager, or
mailed to the City by certified mail in care of the City Manager at the following address:

Telephone (952) 227-1100.
7. Other Special Conditions. City Council approves a Site Plan for an 8,000 square-foot
retail building and an 8% parking Variance to permit 58% of the parking between the front fa<;ade
and the primary street subject to the following conditions:
A. Building Official
1. The buildings are required to have an automatic fire extinguishing system.
2. The plans must be prepared and signed by design professionals licensed in the State
of Minnesota.
3. Accessible routes must be provided to commercial buildings.
2
4. All parking areas must be provided with accessible parking spaces. As submitted, the
retail building must have a minimum of two (2) accessible parking spaces, one of
which must have an 8-foot access aisle.
5. The owner and/or their representative shall meet with the Inspections Division as
soon as possible to discuss plan review and permit.
B. Forester
1. This parcel is within the Emerald Ash Borer Quarantine area. All ash trees removed
on site must be disposed of at an MDA approved ash tree disposal site.
2. The Black Hills spruce proposed at the northwest comer of the building must be
replaced with a deciduous selection in order to avoid future sight line conflicts.
3. On the north property line, the applicant shall change two of the understory trees to
overstory selections.
4. On the east property line, the applicant is short over- and understory trees. Staff
recommends that the applicant meet minimum requirements for bufferyard plantings
on the east side.
5. A line of shrubs must be planted along the parking lot on the south property line. The
shrubs must have a minimum height of three feet at maturity. City approval of the
shrubs species and planting spacing is required before installation.

a. Plate No. 5300 - Silt Fence (wooden posts are not to be used)
b. Plate No. 5301- Rock Construction Entrance
c. Plate No. 5302A - Catch Basin Sediment Trap
2. Sheet Cl of C5 calls out 8" PVC while sheet C5 of C5 indicates 8" PVC for the
standpipes and 6" for the remaining perforated PVC. This discrepancy must be
clarified. The Minnesota Stormwater Manual recommends an 8" draintile to reduce
the potential for freezeup.
3. No sock should be used around the under drain in the bio-retention areas.
4. This will primarily be a Filtration Facility with Partial Recharge as described in the
2005 Minnesota Stormwater Manual. As such, the filter fabric over the gravel bed

This rock must be clean, washed and may not include crushed limestone.
6. No soil mixture is specified for the bio-retention area. Sheet L200 calls out a soil
mixture for all areas to be planted with groundcover, perennials or annuals. This
mixture is not suitable for the bio-retention area. The mixture may include not less
than 40% sand by volume and may not incorporate any in situ soil materials.
7. Measures must be taken to address the drain tile and curb cut discharge points into the
bio-retention area to assure that they do not scour over time or fill up with debris.
8. The invert elevations of the drain-tiles where they enter the bio-filtration area must be
called out on the plans.
3
9. The applicant shall apply for and obtain permits from the appropriate regulatory
agencies and comply with their conditions of approval.
10. The existing grades are not legible on the civil plans. These must be clarified.
11. The bio-retention area must be protected from heavy equipment traffic; this must be
shown on the grading and utility plan sheets.
12. The total disturbed area should be quantified and reported on the grading plan. If this
is equal to one acre or more an NPDES permit and SWPPP will be required.
13. The developer shall comply with the requirements of the Carver Soil & Water
Conservation District as specified in the letter to Robert Generous dated January 20,
2010.

2. The developer must provide a trucking route to the Engineering Department for
review and approval.
3. The grading plan must be changed so that the bio-retention basin will not be over the
existing trunk watermain and sanitary sewer easement area.
4. The developer shall replace the trunk watermain and will be reimbursed for the cost to
replace the trunk watermain, install two gate valves, replace a fire hydrant and
produce engineering as-built drawings. The reimbursement will be based on the
actual cost to complete this work and shall not exceed $25,000.
5. The new watermain shall meet the minimum City requirements, including stainless
steel hardware on the valves and hydrant.
6. A snake pit for the tracer wire shall be installed at each end.
7. The sanitary sewer will be televised to determine its condition. The City will work
with the developer to include maintenance or repair work if needed.

for review and approval.
