EXHIBIT "B"
GENE RAL CONDITIONS
1. Right to Proceed. Within the plat or land to be platted, the Developer may not
g P p � p Y
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 fmal 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 fmal 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 fmal platted shall lapse and be void unless fmal
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
GC -1
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. § 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 at least 24 hours 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.
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

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 fmal
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.

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 fmancial 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
GC -3
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.
