whether or not the proposed plat meets the standards outlined in the Subdivision Regulations and
Zoning Ordinance. If it meets these standards, the city must approve the preliminary plat. This
is a quasi-judicial decision.
The city’s discretion in approving or denying a variance is limited to whether or not the
proposed project meets the standards in the Subdivision Ordinances for variances. The city has a
relatively high level of discretion with a variance because the applicant is seeking a deviation
from established standards. This is a quasi-judicial decision.

PROPOSAL/SUMMARY
The applicant is requesting to subdivide 2.14 acres into five lots for single-family detached
housing. The property is located at the southwest intersection of Minnewashta Parkway and
Glendale Drive. Access to the site is proposed via Glendale Drive. Sewer and water is available
to the site. The property is zoned Single-Family Residential, RSF.
BACKGROUND
On August 7, 2018, the Planning Commission reviewed and tabled action on this application. There
were multiple issues that were of concern to staff. The applicant was directed by the Planning
Commission to address these issues and resubmit
the plans for review and approval. Some of the
issues were addressed. Background from the
previous staff report remains below.
In 1988, the City approved the final plat for
Stratford Ridge with conditions. A temporary
cul-de-sac was stubbed to the north to insure the road extends to connect with Glendale Drive and
provide access to the properties to the north.
In 1990, the City approved the final plat for
Country Oaks. Outlot A was created with the
intent to combine it with the property to the
Planning Commission

e
east at the time of development. That outlot was tax forfeited and reverted to the city. This
outlot serves no public interest and will be combined with the property to the east.
ISSUES
In reviewing this application, staff examined the
surrounding area and potential future subdivision of
adjoining properties. Some of the elements that are
reviewed include access, sewer, water, stormwater,
grading, etc.
STREETS
The developer did not elect to address the previously
identified conditions related to incorporating a thru
street into the design or performing an intersection
analysis. Staff analysis from the previous report is
included below.
The development does not incorporate a thru street stub to facilitate the extension of Stratford
Ridge to Glendale Drive. In the pre-application consultation, the developer was requested to
incorporate a thru street into their design. In addition, the developer was requested to perform an
intersection analysis at the intersection of Glendale Drive and Leslee Curve to facilitate this plan
Planning Commission
Glendale Drive Homes – Planning Case 2018-13

and provide a recommendation to help determine the best fit for the street connection in
conjunction with the lot divisions. This information was not provided and the developer is
proposing to plat five lots without accommodation for a thru street. Engineering staff
recommends the layout be revised to accommodate the future development of the two lots to the
south as required by city code 18-57 (a) and 18-60(f).
The existing cul-de-sac bubble to the south on Stratford Ridge was originally intended to be
temporary. It was planned to be removed and relocated to the north when Stratford Ridge was
extended in the future until the street could eventually connect to Glendale Drive. The current
length of this cul-de-sac is approximately 782 feet in length as measured from the centerline of
Minnewashta Parkway and along Stratford Lane, Stratford Boulevard and Stratford Ridge to the
center of the existing cul-de-sac (reference Exhibit No. 1). The maximum cul-de-sac length per
Section 18-57 (k) in the city code is 800 feet. Hence, it is not feasible (without an approved
variance) for the cul-de-sac to permanently extend and stop at the lot to the south of the proposed
development as the developer is intending because the cul-de-sac length would not meet city
code.
The Fire Marshal also reviewed and commented on the proposed plan. The Fire Department is
opposed to recommending the current plan be allowed to move forward as designed without a
thru street extension. MN Fire Code (2015 edition), which the city has adopted, states any fire
access road over 750 feet requires special approval. The Fire Marshal’s recommendation for the
best result for emergency responders would be to have a street platted to extend all the way
through to connect to Stratford Ridge. This would allow more efficient and safer vehicle access
and egress from this area to properly serve the community. The addition of new single-family
homes along with the extension of Stratford Ridge cul-de-sac would be a hindrance for first
responder vehicles. The review also identified the current cul-de-sac does not meet current fire
code which requires a 96-foot diameter or a 120-foot hammerhead turnaround.
Additionally, Section 20-5 of the city code designates Minnewashta Parkway as a collector
roadway. Minimizing vehicular access points to collector roadways is a priority for the city from
a vehicular and pedestrian safety perspective. This ¼ mile separation requirement is established
by Section 18-57(l) in the city code. Eventual removal of the existing three accesses to
Minnewashta Parkway is a long-term benefit to the city as these properties would be able to have
access off an extension of Stratford Ridge.
Lastly, if the development was constructed without provision for a thru street, the decision would
burden the two properties to the south of the proposed development parcel with loss of additional
land unfairly as the entire cul-de-sac area would have to be shared by those two properties. A
thru street shares the right-of-way dedication between all of the parcels fairly and equally.
WATER RESOURCES
Grading/Drainage
The proposed development grading is similar to the predevelopment conditions. The western half
of the site drains primarily from the north to the south and the eastern half of the site drains from
Planning Commission
Glendale Drive Homes – Planning Case 2018-13
October 2, 2018
Page 5 of 12
the northwest to the southeast. The lowest elevation is along the eastern side of the site.
Currently, existing runoff from the property is significantly intercepted and dispersed by thick
vegetation.
Erosion Prevention and Sediment Control
The proposed development will exceed one (1) acre of disturbance and will, therefore, be subject
to the General Permit Authorization to Discharge Stormwater Associated with Construction
Activity under the National Pollution Discharge Elimination/State Disposal System (NPDES
Construction Permit). The applicant shall prepare a Surface Water Pollution Prevention Plan
(SWPPP) and submit it to the city for approval prior to issuance of any grading permits or the
commencement of any earth disturbing activities. This SWPPP shall be consistent with the
NPDES Construction Permit and shall contain all required elements including:
1. Final excavation (or w/in 3 feet) for infiltration/filtration basins must not occur until drainage
area is fully stabilized.
2. Pretreatment devices for all infiltration/filtration basins.
3. Adequate, permanent, maintenance access.
4. Minimum of three feet of separation between the infiltration/filtration basin bottom and
seasonally high water table. Impermeable liner if less than three feet of separation.
5. Soils investigation information within the perimeter of each infiltration/filtration basin.
6. Plans for a stabilized discharge point for water quality volume that cannot infiltrate within 48
hours.
Stormwater Management
The applicant proposes five individual raingardens recorded individually against each lot. This is
not acceptable to the city as it does not meet code requirements for emergency overflow routes,
maintenance access, nor adequately provide for permanent operation, maintenance, and a
funding mechanism to ensure stormwater treatment devices are maintained to function as
designed in perpetuity. There have been significant issues in the city where operation and
maintenance requirements were recorded against a single property. Staff recommends an HOA
be required with a detailed funding mechanism as the responsible entity for permanent operation
and maintenance. Staff recommends an EOF only be approved at an elevation one foot below the
low floor opening of the adjacent property, and that the applicant work with staff and the
adjacent property owner to ensure the EOF route does not create a public nuisance. Potential
compliant options could include a treatment train, or single basin in the southeast corner of the
site. Staff also recommends permanent BMPs be designed and installed to connect to a future
regional pond south of the property without significantly altering the grading, drainage, installed
utilities, or removal/relocation of primary structures, accessory structures, and driveways.

This site lies within the boundaries of the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District and is subject to
their stormwater management requirements, development review and permitting. Chanhassen’s
MS4 permit was re-issued in 2014. Part III.D.5 states that each MS4 is required to develop local
controls that require new developments, in excess of one acre, to have no net-increase in
stormwater discharge volume nor any increase in TP and TSS from predevelopment conditions.
Under the new NPDES – Construction Permit, the new NPDES – Municipal Separate Storm
Sewer permit and the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District rules, the applicant must meet the
abstraction requirements of one inch of runoff from all new impervious surfaces.
With all subdivisions, stormwater utility connection fees are collected. These fees are based
upon development type, area, and treatment. Fees are used to maintain storm sewer infrastructure
and to construct water quality improvement projects.
The applicant has stated they will provide complete stormwater calculations at the time of formal
submittal. Stormwater fees will be calculated once calculations have been received.
It is the policy of the City of Chanhassen to provide a credit for Water Quality fees equal to 50%
of the base rate times the area treated provided it, at a minimum, meets the National Urban
Runoff Program (NURP) recommendations.
SUBDIVISION
The applicant is proposing to subdivide 2.14 acres into five lots and one outlot. The lots are
proposed to be served via Glendale Drive.
The existing parcel has a finger that extends over Country Oaks Drive and the area west of the
existing street. The applicant is proposing to dedicate the ROW for country oaks. Staff suggests
the applicant communicate with the property owner adjoining Outlot A to incorporate it into their
lot.

LANDSCAPING AND TREE PRESERVATION
The applicant for the Glendale Drive Homes development did not submit tree canopy coverage
and preservation calculations. Staff estimated as follows:
Total upland area (excluding wetlands) 93,296 SF
Baseline canopy coverage 72% or 67,929 SF
Minimum canopy coverage required 46% or 42,916 SF
Proposed tree preservation 5% or 5,445 SF
The developer does not meet minimum canopy coverage for the site; therefore, the applicant
must bring the canopy coverage on site up to the 46% minimum. The difference between the
required coverage and the remaining coverage is multiplied by 1.2 for total area to be replaced.
One tree is valued at 1,089 SF.
Minimum required 42,916
Less canopy preserved 5,445
Minimum canopy coverage to be replaced 37,471 SF
Multiplied by 1.2 44,965
Divided by 1089 = Total number of trees to be planted: 41 trees
The applicant did not submit a landscape plan. The development is required to install a buffer
yard along Minnewashta Parkway.

COMPREHENSIVE PARK PLAN
The city’s comprehensive park plan calls for a
neighborhood park to be located within one-half
mile of every residence in the city. The proposed
Glendale Drive is wholly located within the
Roundhouse Park neighborhood park service area.
Roundhouse Park features the following amenities:
swimming beach, playground, swings, picnic shelter,
fishing pier, tennis court, four pickleball courts,
basketball court, skating rink, open play field, trails
and parking area.

COMPREHENSIVE TRAIL PLAN
The city’s comprehensive trail plan calls for public parks to be connected to neighborhoods
through a combination of sidewalks and trails. The proposed Glendale Drive is connected by
sidewalk to Roundhouse Park and the Minnewashta Parkway pedestrian trail. This existing trail
should be protected and maintained in an open condition throughout the subdivision
development and housing construction.
COMPLIANCE TABLE
RSF Setbacks: Front: 30 feet, Side: 10 feet, Rear: 30 feet
VARIANCE
The variance is recommended by staff. City Code requires a 60-foot ROW. The surrounding
area and the ROW within Stratford Ridge is 50 feet wide. Approval of the variance will allow
the street to blend in with the surrounding neighborhood. This street will provide future access to
the property located south of the subject site. Ultimately, two existing access points to
Minnewashta Parkway will be eliminated. As a result of adding this connection, the lot lines
within this subdivision will shift.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission adopt the following motion:
“The Chanhassen Planning Commission recommends approval of the preliminary plat to
subdivide 2.14 acres into five lots and one outlot and a variance to allow a 50-foot public right-of-
way as shown in plans stamped Received August 29, 2018, subject to the following conditions
and adoption of the findings of fact and recommendation.”

2. Provide utility design to extend sanitary sewer and water main design as part of a thru
street.
3. Provide ROW over the entirety of the trail along the west side of Minnewashta Parkway.
(The site plan indicates the eastern property line will comply with Condition #3 but the
concern identified in Condition #4 in relation to the existing survey was not addressed.
Therefore, Condition #3 remains as previously indicated.)
4. The survey of existing conditions does not indicate ROW between Glendale Drive and to
the south for approximately 100 feet. (The survey does not correlate with Carver
County’s property information which indicates right-of-way for the road section is in
place but a portion of the bituminous trail on the west side of Minnewashta Parkway is
not within the ROW.)
5. No stationing is shown in the plan set.
6. The drainage and utility easements are shown only on the plat. They should also be
conveyed on the site plan. (D&U easements were added to the grading plan but not the
site and utility plan.)
7. Indicate surface water drainage flow arrows on the grading plan.
8. Provide existing and proposed elevations at the following locations: each lot corner, top
of curb or centerline of the street at each lot line extension, center of proposed driveway
at the curb or edge of the roadway.
9. Additional conditions will be identified after the developer has an opportunity to revise
the design based upon the current conditions that are considered to be major in nature as
they will require significant changes to the design.
Water Resources:
1. Private stormwater best management practices (BMPs) are not permitted in public
drainage and utility easements. Private BMPs shall be located outside of public drainage

CARVER AND HENNEPIN COUNTIES, MINNESOTA
FINDINGS OF FACT
AND RECOMMENDATION
IN RE:
Application of Lake West Development, LLC for Subdivision approval.
On October 2, 2018, the Chanhassen Planning Commission met at its regularly scheduled
meeting to consider the application of Glendale Drive Homes for preliminary plat approval of
property into five lots and one outlot with a right-of-way variance. The Planning Commission
conducted a public hearing on the proposed subdivision preceded by published and mailed
notice. The Planning Commission heard testimony from all interested persons wishing to speak
and now makes the following:
FINDINGS OF FACT
1. The property is currently zoned Single-Family Residential - RSF.
2. The property is guided in the Land Use Plan for Low Density Residential.
3. The legal description of the property is: See Attached Exhibit A
4. The Subdivision Ordinance directs the Planning Commission to consider seven possible
adverse affects of the proposed subdivision. The seven affects and our findings regarding
them are:
SUBDIVISION FINDINGS
a. The proposed subdivision is consistent with the zoning ordinance;
Finding: The subdivision meets all the requirements of the RSF, Residential Single-
Family District and the zoning ordinance if the conditions of approval are met.
b. The proposed subdivision is consistent with all applicable city, county and regional plans
including but not limited to the city's comprehensive plan;
Finding: The proposed subdivision is consistent with the comprehensive plan and
subdivision ordinance if the conditions of approval are met.
c. The physical characteristics of the site, including but not limited to topography, soils,
vegetation, susceptibility to erosion and siltation, susceptibility to flooding, and stormwater
drainage are suitable for the proposed development;
Finding: The proposed site is suitable for development subject to the conditions specified
in this report.
d. The proposed subdivision makes adequate provision for water supply, storm drainage,
sewage disposal, streets, erosion control and all other improvements required by this
chapter;
Finding: The proposed subdivision will provide adequate urban infrastructure subject to
the conditions specified in this report.
e. The proposed subdivision will not cause environmental damage;
Finding: The proposed subdivision will not cause significant environmental damage
subject to conditions of approval. The proposed subdivision contains adequate open areas
to accommodate house pads.
f. The proposed subdivision will not conflict with easements of record; and
Finding: The proposed subdivision will not conflict with existing easements, but rather
will expand and provide all necessary easements.
g. The proposed subdivision is not premature. A subdivision is premature if any of the
following exists:
1) Lack of adequate stormwater drainage.
2) Lack of adequate roads.
3) Lack of adequate sanitary sewer systems.
4) Lack of adequate off-site public improvements or support systems.
Finding: The proposed subdivision will have access to public utilities and streets if the
specified conditions of approval are met.
VARIANCE FINDINGS
Sec. 18-22. Variances.
The City Council may grant a variance from the regulations contained in this chapter as part of
the plat approval process following a finding that all of the following conditions exist:
1) The hardship is not a mere inconvenience.
Finding: The hardship is not a mere inconvenience. The 50-foot Right-of-Way will allow
the street width to be consistent with streets in the surrounding area.
2) The hardship is caused by the particular physical surroundings, shape or topographical
conditions of the land;
Finding: The hardship is caused by the particular physical surroundings, shape and
topographical conditions of the land.
3) The conditions upon which the request is based are unique and not generally applicable to
other property.
Finding: The conditions upon which the request is based are unique to this site and not
generally applicable to other properties due to the fact that all streets in the immediate
surrounding area have a width of 50 feet.
4) The granting of the variance will not be substantially detrimental to the public welfare and is
in accord with the purpose and intent of this chapter, the zoning ordinance and
comprehensive plan.
Finding: The granting of a variance will not be substantially detrimental to the public
welfare and is in accord with the purpose and intent of this chapter, the zoning ordinance,
and comprehensive plan. The request, if granted, will allow the Right-of-Way to be
consistent with the surrounding area.

Abstract Property.
C. Land Characteristics
The property is relatively flat to slightly rolling with a slight slope to the West and East. There
are no structures on the site. The property is treed, however the Eees are in poor condition,
see letter from arborist.
Curently the property has public roadway on 3 sides of th€ parcel and has existing sanitiary
and water services stubbed to the property on the norlh sufllcient to serve the proposed
homes.
The proposal is to subdivide the existing 2.14 acfe parcel inlo 5 single family lots, one Outlot
and Right ol Way dedacation lor Country Oaks Drive and Glendale Drive. Currently, these two
right of way pieces are not dedicated and this project will resolve that issue.
The project does not seek any variances and is proposing a density of approximately 2.3
dwelling units per acIe.

D. Description of tne P
Preliminary & Final Plat - Narralive - GLENDALE DRIVE HOMES
E, Tree Preservation
The parcel is treed however the trces are in general poor condition per the attacted letter from
Certified Arborist, Johnathon Heaton at Bartett Tree Experts. According to Mr. Heaton's
inspection of the trees, "Most of the trees on the site are undesirable species (boxelder and
ash) and have significant defects. ln my opinion, most of these lrees do not have a long life
ahead of them." "There are a few good trees on the lot including a nice red oak and some
blac'k walnuts, but the rest are not worth trying to preserve. They are not likely to have muc*t
life left and will be a potential hazard.' (See attached complete lefter).
Based upon Mr. Heaton's assessment, we have shown lhe complete tree tabulation of 89
f6es and 1,251 c€liper inches, and then also shown the liable" tsees of which there are 16
fees and 254.9 c€liper inch6s. A "viable" tree for this purpose is one defined as not having
one of the following conditions:
. Cavities or wounds at the base or on the trunk
. Signilicant strucfural defects in the crown such as cavities and poor branch unions
. Signs of general decline sucfi as dieback al the branch tips
Of the viable trees on lhe site, we are proposing to preserve and save 205.9 caliper inches
which equates to 81%. Of these saved, ftey include the redoakand black walnuts Mr.
Heaton relers to.
F. StormwaterManagement
Per discussion wisl the City's Water Resources Coordinalor, we are proposing that each lot
v,/ould have an infiltration pond constructed at the low point of each lot lo meet the current
stormwater requirements.
G. Home Design
Proposed homes are planned to be one or two story homes with look-out or walk-out
basements to work with the natural topography of the property-
H. Ghost Plat to South
we were asked lo prepare a "Ghost Plaf for the two parcels to the south of the prolect by
staff. See graphic below.
As shown by the graphic, the two parcels to lhe soulh have a viable option to develop by
extending the cul-de-sac at Stratford Road.

Preliminary Plans P-4.pdf; 08-31-2018 Preliminary Plans P-6.pdf; 08-31-2018 Preliminary
Plans EOF Exhibit.pdf; DRAFT - Glendale Stormwater Maintenance Agreement.pdf
Vanessa etal,
Attached, please flnd a partially revised planset. We have modified the following, generally in order of items 1-17 in the
staff report under Water Resources.
1. We have moved the infiltration basins outside of the D&U easements which area also now shown on the
Grading Plan
2. We have modified the Building Setback Line so that infiltration basins are 10'min from this line
3. We have reviewed Section 19-144 of the Code which states "lf an emergency overflow route is adjacent to the
property, the lowest building opening must be minimum one foot above the emergency overflow". When it
says "the property", it is referring to the property on which the emergency overflow and the building share; the
SAME property. Each property has its own emergency overflow. See attached Exhbiit showing the EOF on 6760
Minnewashta Parkway which displays that their low opening of 976 is more than one foot above that property's
EOF adjacent to that structure. As an example of how the code is practically used, we are attaching page 5 of 11
of the Fawn Hill Grading Plan submittal. As this shows, the EOF for Lot 6 is at 973 (house opening at 974.4) and
the adjacent downstream property has a low opening of 971.8. You will notice, however, that the downstream
EOF of the adjacent property is 970.0 which is below the adjacent property low opening.
4. We have reviewed Section 7-78 ofthe Code and have shown the EOF routes on the attached Exhiblt. Further as
the outlet from the infiltration basins travels, it will disburse naturally and will not create a hazard or nuisance
condition to adjacent property. As mentioned by staff at the PC meeting properties "are allowed to send
stormwater in the natural direction". We have strategically placed our infiltration basins at the natural low
point of each lot so that the discharge, below pre-developed conditions, is at the same location at which our site
discharged to the south property. Also as we have shown by the Hydrocad modeling, the discharge from our
project will be less than the pre-existing conditions for the storm events modeled.
5. We plan on placing the infiltration BMP'5 in recorded easements against the property. We will also submit an
O&M Plan as requested. Attached is a DRAFT of the Stormwater Maintenance Agreement for the project which
discusses future homeowner responsibility. This document will be recorded against each lot in the
development. lf it is deemed upon further review from the City's Attorney and our Attorney that this agreement
needs to be with a Homeowner's Association (HOA), we will direct our attorney to work with the City Attorney
to incorporate as appropriate.
6. The designation of Lake Virginia has been corrected don the SWPPP.
7. SWPPP contact will be ldentified prior to the grading permit per our discussion.
8. The maximum impervious area allowed shown on the table on P-2 has been corrected.
9. We will definitely reconcile the lot areas to be consistent in our formal re-submittal.
10. Per our discussion last week, we propose to over-excavate the infiltration ponds and create a "dry-well" under
them consisting of 1.5" to 3" rock fill surrounded by filter fabric with sufficient volume to retain the water
required for the 24-48 hour draw down. We will modify the pond sizing and provide detail on the formal
submittal.
11. Per our discussion, we have added a line on the Site & Utllity Plan showing future storm pipe to regional pond.
12. lnfiltration tests will be a condition of final approval.
13. Vegetation plans of BMP's will be provided on finalconstruction plans.
14. MCWD requirements will be met as a condition of final approval.
15. We acknowledge proof of permits are required as a condition of final approval.
16. We acknowledBe meeting requirements of MCWD.
17. We acknowledge there may be stormwater management fees associated with the development.
We have dated the revised plans 8-31-18 in hopes that we will receive your review and acceptance of the solutions put
forthandwewill incorporate the items through the entire planset and resubmit this on Friday. Ourgoal istohitthat
submittal date to stay on track for the PC meeting on LO/z and CC meeting on 70/22 per lhe schedule supplied.
Please let me know if it would be beneficial for me to stop in your office to discuss.
Thanks !

STORNTWATER MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") is made and entered into as of the _ day of
, 2017, by and between the City of Chanhassen, a Minnesota municipal corporation
(the "City'') and Lake West Development, LLC, a Minnesota limited partnership (collectively, the
"Developer").
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, the Developer is the fee owner of certain real property located in Carver
County, Minnesota, legally described on Exhibit A attached hereto (the "Property"); and
WHEREAS, the Developer has dedicated to the City drainage and utility easements over
portions of the Property (the "Easement Areas") where a stormwaterpond will be constructed; and
WHEREAS, by entering into this Agreement, the Developer has agreed to construct and
maintain certain stormwater facilities, including the infiltration basins (the "Stormwater
Improvements") for the benefit of the Property. The Stormwater Improvements include infiltration
baiins and any accompanying structures that are to be constructed by the Developer as set forth in
the plans approved by the City and attached as Exhibit B; and
WHEREAS, the City requires permanent provisions for handling of storm runoff,
including terms and conditions for operation and maintenance of all Stormwater Improvements,
and requires such provisions to be set forth in an agreement to be recorded against the Property;
and
WHEREAS, the City and the Developer intend to comply with certain conditions,
including entering into an agreement regarding the Stormwater Improvements.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of mutual covenants of the parties set forth herein
and other valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged,
the parties agree as follows:
l. Construction of the Stormwater Imorovements. The Developer shall construct the
Stormwater Improvements on the Property at the Developer's expense. The Stormwater
Improvements must be constructed in accordance with the plans that are attached to this Agreement
as Exhibit B.
2. Restriction on Use of Easement Area. The Developer and the subsequent owners
of each lot within GLENDALE DRTVE HOMES shall at all times protect the function of the
easement area as an infiltration basin. In furtherance of such protection, in no event shall the
Developer or the subsequent owner of any lot cause or allow any fill, additional planting, buildings,
improvements or foundations to be placed within the easement area, and in no event shall the
Developer or the subsequent owner of each lot cause or allow any change in the soil or
modification of grade, in each instance without the prior written consent of the City, which may
be denied or conditioned in the City's reasonable discretion.
3. Maintenance of the Stormwater Improvements. The Developer and the subsequent
owner of each lot within GLENDALE DRTVE HOMES, agrees to maintain the Stormwater
Improvements and observe all drainage laws goveming the operation and maintenance of the
Stormwater Improvements. The Developer and the subsequent owner of each lot shall make
periodic inspection and perform maintenance of the Stormwater Improvements as described in
Exhibit C attached hereto. The Developer and the subsequent owner of each lot shall make all
such scheduled inspections and maintenance, keep record of all inspections and maintenance
activities, and submit such records annually to the City. The cost of all inspections and
maintenance, including skimming and cleaning of the Stormwater Improvements, shall be the
obligation of the Developer and the subsequent owner of each lot within GLENDALE DR[VE
HOMES as shown on Exhibit A as the fee owners of the Property.
4. City's Maintenance Rights. The City may maintain the Stormwater Improvements,
as provided in this paragraph, if the City reasonably believes that the Developer or the subsequent
owner of the lots within GLENDALE DRIVE HOMES has failed to maintain the Stormwater
Improvements in accordance with applicable drainage laws, the terms of this Agreement or other
requirements and such failure continues for 30 days after the City gives the Developer or the
subsequent owner of the lots written notice of such failure or, if such tasks cannot be completed
within 30 days, after such time period as may be reasonably required to complete the required
tasks provided that Developer or the subsequent owner of the lots is making a good faith effort to
complete said task. The City's notice shall specifically state which maintenance tasks are to be
performed. If the Developer or the subsequent owner of the lots does not complete the
maintenance tasks within the required time period after such notice is given by the City, the City
shall have the right to enter upon the Easement Areas and such portions of the Property as may
reasonably be necessary to gain access to the Easement Areas to perform such maintenance tasks.
In such case, the City shall send an invoice of its reasonable maintenance costs to the Developer
or the subsequent owner of the lots upon which the Stormwater Improvement is located, which
shall include all reasonable staff time, engineering and legal and other reasonable costs and
expenses incurred by the City. If the Developer or the subsequent owner of the lots fails to
reimburse the City for its costs and expenses in maintaining the Stormwater Improvements within
30 days of receipt of an invoice for such costs, the City shall have the right to assess the full cost
2
thereof against the lots. The Developer, on behalf of itself and the subsequent owners of the lots,
acknowledges that the maintenance work performed by the City regarding the Stormwater
Improvements benefits the Property in an amount which exceeds the assessment and hereby waives
any right to hearing or notice and the right to appeal the assessments otherwise provided by
Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 429. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of an emergency,
as determined by the City Engineer, the 30-day notice requirement to the Developer or the
subsequent owner ofthe lots for failure to perform maintenance tasks shall be and hereby is waived
in its entirety by the Developer and the subsequent owner of the lots, and the Developer or the
subsequent owner of the lots shall reimburse the City and be subject to assessment for any expense
so incurred by the City in the same manner as if written notice as described above has been given.
5. Hold Harmless. The Developer for itself and the subsequent owner of each lot
hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the City and its officials, agents, contractors and
employees against any and all claims, demands, losses, damages, and expenses (including
reasonable attomeys' fees) arising out of or resulting from the Developer's, or the Developer's
agents', contractors or employees' negligent or intentional acts, or any violation of any safety law,
regulation or code in the performance of this Agreement, without regard to any inspection or
review made or not made by the City, its agents, contractors or employees or failure by the City,
its agents, contractors or employees to take any other prudent precautions, except to the extent of
intentional or grossly negligent acts of the City, its employees, agents, contractors and
representatives. In the event the City, upon the failure of the Developer or the subsequent owner
of the lots to comply with any conditions of this Agreement, performs said conditions pursuant to
its authority in this Agreement, the Developer or the subsequent owner of the lots shall indemnify
and hold harmless the City, its officials, employees, contractors, agents and representatives for its
own negligent acts in the performance of the Developer's or the subsequent owner of the lot's
required work under this Agreement, but this indemnification shall not extend to intentional or
grossly negligent acts of the City, its officials, employees, contractors, agents and representatives.
6. Costs of Enforcement. The Developer for itself and the subsequent owner of each
lot agrees to reimburse the City for all reasonable costs prudently incurred by the City in the
enforcement of this Agreement, or any portion thereof, including court costs and reasonable
attorneys' fees after providing written notice to Developer or the subsequent owner of the lot and
a reasonable opportunity to cure.
7. Rights Not Exclusive. No right of the City under this Agreement shall be deemed
to be exclusive and the City shall retain all rights and powers it may have under Minnesota Statutes
Sections 444.16 to 444.21 to acquire, construct, reconstruct, extend, maintain and otherwise
improve the Stormwater Improvements.
8. Notice. All notices required under this Agreement shall either be personally
delivered or be sent by United States certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, and addressed

We feel the existing plan of the use of rain gardens to curb the drainage does not adequately address the volume
of water that will drain across the property's and end up on our property. Looking at the elevations we have the
lowest point, so everything from the proposed lots 1,2,3, and partially 4 will drain to our property. We feel
this will adversely affect the quality and value of our property.
The concern is a rain garden will not provide enough drainage retention / re - direction to compensate for the
increased runoff of developing those lots, In addition the emergency run off from the gardens would all end up
on our property. This is especially a concern at times of heavy rains, ( which we have had just recently), and in
the spring when the the snow is melting and there can be heavy wet storms from March through May.
If by developing they increase the elevatior/slope from what is already existing I believe they would have to be
granted easement by both property owners to the south.
We would like to encourage the planning commission to require a better proposed drainage system or plan
before approving anything going forward

Jeff
