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 engineer famished 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
GC -1
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 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
escrow or letter of credit per lot shall also be furnished to the City to guarantee compliance with City
Code § 7-22.

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.

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 six (6) 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 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
GC -3
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.

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.
