50. On sheet 5 of 23: As no sanitary mains are proposed to be C900 note 1 is unclear,
clarification is required; note 2 shall be updated as sewer services shall be 6” SDR 26 solvent,
non-gasketed weld joints; note 4 shall be eliminated as no DIP will be allowed or is proposed in
the sanitary sewer system, only PVC C900 when required (e.g. at the inside drop connection);
note 11 shall be updated to state that all services shall extend to the property line (per Detail
Plates #1005 and 2001) unless otherwise noted as services may extend past the property line
where sidewalk is located; note 13 shall be updated to correctly call out the City’s standards as
“Standard Specifications and Detail Plates”; note 13 shall be updated to state that the exception
is for sanitary and water services past the property line or curb stop which is in-line with City
Ordinances, for clarity; note 17 shall be updated to state all watermain shall be PVC C900 DR
18; note 19 must be updated to provide the contractor the City’s Utility Department phone
number 952-227-1300; a note must be added that RieberLok gaskets on all C900 PVC shall be
used in accordance with City Standards.
51. On sheet 6 of 23: The plan view shall be adjusted or an inset provided illustrating the
water main connection required of the proposed water main between Lots 3 and 4 and the
existing water main off Ruby Lane; the water main shall be located on the southern side of Della
Drive to facilitate separation from CBMH 19’s sump structure, limit the depth of any possible
water main lowering, and ensure that the water main does not go lower than the sanitary sewer
main’s grade; a detail shall be provided specific to MH 1 which should account for the
compaction/fill around and up to the 8” PVC C900 connection for the inside drop; show all
utility crossings, including water main, in all profile views including the inset for the inside drop
MH connection; all existing utilities need to be identified in the profile views, especially under,
east and west of Galpin Boulevard to ensure no conflicts are present; due to the complexity of
notes and existing utilities near around Galpin Boulevard where the proposed water main will
tie-in to the existing water main, a separate inset shall be provided; the call-out for connect to
existing shall be updated to “connect to” and not “wet tap” and include reference to the high
pressure zone; casing is required for the extents of water main proposed under Galpin Boulevard;
a gate valve shall be installed on the east side of the tee located near 8+60; certain areas of
sanitary sewer are called out at less than 0.5% grade, it is highly recommended that grades be
adjusted to maintain a minimum of 0.5% for constructability as any sanitary sewer mains below
the minimum allowable grade will be required o be removed and re-installed; where grades are
greater than 16’ sanitary sewer main shall be PVC SDR 26, i.e. at locations east of MH 2 or
north of MH 8; clarify the nomenclature “HBOE”; update line work for proposed storm sewer in
profile to follow the color style consistently (appears grey when it must be green).
52. On sheet 7 of 23: There is a yellow line identified in the plan view for Topaz Drive,

plan view, clarify accordingly; gate valves shall be installed north and west of the tee located at
the intersection of Topaz Drive and Lucy Ridge Lane; update call-out in profile view of Topaz
SP-10
Drive for the removal of plug and add removal of hydrant as well, for clarity; maintain ten foot
separation between Block 4 Lot 7’s sanitary and water services and MH 9; update call-out in
profile view of Lucy Ridge Lane where existing stub is located to “8” PVC SDR 26”, per as-
builts.
53. On sheet 8 of 23: Add note that trash guards are only to be installed on inlets or FES 24”
or greater; castings on catch basins at low points shall be “VB”, update accordingly.
54. On sheet 9 of 23: It is unclear what the low opening elevation is from the grading detail
to the plans due to the use of double parentheses, e.g. when evaluating if lowest opening is 1 foot
above emergency overflow on Block 3 Lot 4 the EOF elevation is 1013.0 adjacent to the lot
while the call-out of ((1013.8)) appears to indicate the “adjacent grade to low opening” per
grading plan, which is out of compliance, update plans accordingly and/or clarify; catch basin 7
needs to be relocated to a minimum of 10 feet away from the curb ramp; catch basin 12 and 13
shall be relocated to achieve a 90 degree connection; there is a portion of new impervious area
on Lucy Ridge Lane that will not be captured by the proposed storm system, verify that the new
impervious area will not inundate the existing storm sewer system north of Lucy Ridge Lane;
Block 4 Lot 7’s backyard drainage sheet flows over the trail, no private drainage shall flow over
the public trail system and needs to be accounted for in the storm plan (grading, back-yard storm
conveyance, etc.); relocate CBMH 2 to the east in order to eliminate the double crossing of the
public trail; relocate CBMH 10 to be centered on the property line (typ. of all backyard
CBMHs); show all utility crossings on profiles (typ); add sufficient depth between CBMH 4 and
CBMH 2 to decrease velocities below 12 fps, all RCP laid at slopes greater than 5% grade shall
be tied; clearly illustrate where B6 curbing locations are for review and approval; add note that
all FES shall have a witness post installed, the City will furnish witness posts; the outlet structure
detail for Pond #2 shall be updated and drawn to reflect proper elevations (i.e. the outlet pipe is
above the inlet pipe as drawn); add note to ensure outlet structures meet Detail Plate #3109A.
55. On sheet 10 of 23: Update profile to ensure inverts connecting to in structures match
crown elevations (HGL), typ; the RCP pipe between CBMH 20 and CMBH 19 shall be CL. 5.
56. On sheet 12 of 23: Profile from approximately 1+50 to 0+00 shows inadequate cover
over 27” RCP pipe, adjust accordingly.
57. On sheet 13 of 23: The indentation and spacing of all notes shall be updated for clarity;
note 2 discusses removal of sand/silt in ponds, a decompaction note must accompany this
requirement as infiltration is a proposed surface water management technique; note 5 must
reference the street detail and/or must be accompanied by a cross-section; note 6 shall be updated
to allow for a minimum of 0.5% slope on driveways per Ordinance; notes referencing MnDOT
seed numbers appear to be obsolete and shall be reviewed and updated accordingly; note 13 shall
be updated from “the retaining walls” to “all retaining walls”; notes or the plan shall be updated
to incorporate locations of bench marks, stockpiles, haul routes, staging areas, and dewatering
plan, and typical lot benching detail; add note that all walls over 6’ in height require fencing or
other barrier; adjust all retaining walls to be located wholy on private property and not City
owned Outlots and/or wetland buffers.
SP-11
58. On sheet 14 of 23: swales between lots shall be graded to ensure drainage is routed along
property lines and within drainage and utility easements, e.g. between Lots 3 and 4 of Block 2
drainage would be routed more or less onto Lot 4, adjust for all lots accordingly.
59. On sheet 16 of 23: The provided erosion control plan does not fully meet the
requirements of Sec. 19-145 of City Ordinances, and shall be updated accordingly, furthermore
no SWPPP has been provided meeting the requirements of NPDES General Construction Permit
and shall be provided prior to the issuance of the Right to Proceed.
60. On sheet 17 of 23: Details appear illegible or difficult to read as printed on full size plan
sheets, the detail pages shall be updated to a maximum of 8 per page, or to achieve legible
details, for clarity.
Stormwater Conditions & Wetlands
1. An NPDES permit and accompanying Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP)
will be required prior to the start of grading.
2. Developer shall enter into an operations and maintenance plan for the proposed
stormwater management system with Riley Purgatory Bluff Creek Watershed District prior to the
City issuing a right to proceed.
3. All comments and conditions set forth by the Riley Purgatory Bluff Creek Watershed
District shall be addressed by the Developer.
4. Stormwater runoff shall not be discharged into wetlands without water quality
pretreatment as prescribed by City Code.
5. Wetland Buffers. Wetland buffers and buffer monumentation will be required adjacent to
the wetlands on site. Wetland buffer widths and locations where signage will be placed on a plan
sheet must be identified in accordance with the City’s guidance document. The WMO provides
signs and sign posts for the cost of materials. Alternative signs (by the City or Developer) are
also acceptable provided they contain similar information. Wetland buffers and buffer setbacks
pursuant to section 20-411 and consistent with the preliminary plat must be memorialized with a
recorded wetland buffer agreement filed with the County recorder’s office.
6. It appears the Developer is showing contours within the filtration areas under the final
surface elevation of the filtration areas. It is recommended the Developer callout the final surface
elevation within the filtration areas and that the Developer add in cross sections (across the pond
and filtration basins) to clarify the critical elevations within the basins.
7. Developer shall confirm drainage from the hill west of the proposed home on Lot 1 along
Della Drive is not being directed to the home, and shall adjust grading accordingly.
SP-12
8. Inlet protections are to be added to catch basins 6, 10, 11 and the catch basin to the west
of the Topaz Drive cul-de-sac.
9. The Developer is using a constant 0.4 coefficient value for the rational method storm
sewer calculations. Previous additions within the development used varying coefficients
determined by the impervious/pervious percentages of each catch basin drainage area. The
Developer shall either modify the storm sewer sizing calculations to use varying coefficients
determined by the impervious/pervious percentages similar to how the previous storm sewer was
sized or provide calculations demonstrating the use of a consistent 0.4 coefficient is valid.
10. The Developer shall update all storm sewer so the maximum pipe velocity is 12 fps.
11. The Stormwater Management Plan shall be updated to address the needs of additional
volume for the future Galpin Boulevard Improvement Project outlined in Kimley-Horn’s
memorandum dated May 29, 2018.
12. Developer is showing at catch basins 4, 18, and 19 the spread at the inlet will extend over
10 feet into the street. The Developer shall add additional catch basins at these points to reduce
the spread into the roadway.
13. In the overall plans for the Park development dated 5/20/19 the proposed outlet for
Wetland 2 was a 24” pipe but in the The Bluffs at Lake Lucy plans the outlet is an 18” pipe. It is
noted that the existing outlet for Wetland 2 is an 18” CMP pipe. However, the HydroCAD
modeling suggests the proposed 18” wetland outlet will cause an increase in the 100-year HWL
within Wetland 2 when compared to overall development proposed conditions model and when
compared to existing conditions (see table below). Developer shall confirm a larger outlet pipe is
not needed and/or that the increase in the wetland HWL will not have any negative impacts on
Galpin Avenue or any adjacent structures. Develoepr shall provide a larger outlet pipe if
necessary.
14. In the Pond 1 OCS detail the outlet pipe is shown as an 18” but is being modeled as a 27”
in the proposed HydroCAD model (assumed to be Device #1). Developer shall update the plan
and/or HydroCAD model to be consistent with one another.
15. The HydroCAD model uses an exfiltration rate of 0.35 in/hr within Pond 1 but the
stormwater narrative and the P8 model both have an infiltration rate of 0.8 in/hr. Developer shall
confirm the appropriate infiltration rate and update all references to be consistent.
16. The following updates to the P8 model need to be addressed:
SP-13
a. It is unclear why for both ponds a 12” orifice outlet is being used for the normal
outlet directed to either the adjacent filtration or infiltration bench. Developer
should change the normal outlet to a weir outlet based on the berm separating the
pond and the infiltration/filtration bench or should provide reasoning behind using
a 12” orifice.
b. The flood pool elevations/volumes for Pond 1 and 2 should be calculated at 979
and 968 respectively based on the EOF elevations noted on the plans.
c. The infiltration outlet for the Pond 2 filtration bench should be routed to the
downstream waterbody instead of out of the system for accuracy. Similarly, in the
P8 model where Pond 1 is being modeled as a filtration bench, the infiltration
outlet should be routed to the downstream waterbody.
d. Developer should clarify what the wetland boundary infiltration device is that is
being modeled in the proposed condition P8 models and confirm it should not
also be included in the existing conditions P8 model for accuracy.
e. The bottom surface area for Pond 2 should be updated to 0.008 ac (or 0.01 if
needed) to be representative of the plans
Landscaping and Tree Preservation
1. The Developer shall conduct a walk-through of the grading limits on site prior to
removals with City staff to inspect for opportunities for additional tree preservation.
2. Tree preservation fencing shall be installed around existing trees to be saved prior to any
construction activities and remain installed until completion.
3. All trees shall be planted outside of the street right-of-way.
4. No tree Genus shall comprise of more than 20% of the total number of trees and no tree
species shall comprise of more than 10% of the total number of trees. The Developer shall add 2
selections of trees to reduce maple quantities to meet ordinance requirements.
5. Developer shall provide tree preservation easements to be recorded with the final plat
over Lots 1 and 2, Block 1 and Lots 1, 4 and 5, Block 3 as follows: easterly 300’ of Lot 1,
Block 1, the westerly 200’ of Lot 2, Block 1, the northerly 100’ of Lots 4 and 5, Block 3 and the
westerly 40’ of Lot 1, Block 3.
6. Park property boundary signs shall be installed at property corners on Lots 1-6, Block 4
and Lots 1-11, Block 2.
7. Landscaping shall be installed consistent with the approved landscape plan.

CITY OF CHANHASSEN
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 furnished 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-2
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.
GC-3
9. 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.
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.
13. Landscaping. Landscaping shall be installed in accordance with Plan D. Unless
otherwise approved by the City, trees not listed in the City’s approved tree list are prohibited. The
minimum tree size shall be two and one-half (2½) inches caliper, either bare root in season, or balled
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-4
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.
14. Warranty. The Developer warrants all improvements required to be constructed by
it pursuant to this Contract against poor material and faulty workmanship. The Developer shall submit
either 1) a warranty/maintenance bond for 100% of the cost of the improvement, or 2) a letter of credit
for twenty-five percent (25%) of the amount of the original cost of the improvements.
A. The required warranty period for materials and workmanship for the utility contractor
installing public sewer and water mains shall be two (2) years from the date of final written City
acceptance of the work.
B. The required warranty period for all work relating to street construction, including
concrete curb and gutter, sidewalks and trails, materials and equipment shall be subject to two (2)
years from the date of final written acceptance.
C. The required warranty period for sod, trees, and landscaping is one full growing
season following acceptance by the City.
15. Lot Plans. Prior to the issuance of building permits, an acceptable Grading, Drainage,
Erosion Control including silt fences, and Tree Removal Plan shall be submitted for each lot for
review and approval by the City Engineer. Each plan shall assure that drainage is maintained away
from buildings and that tree removal is consistent with development plans and City Ordinance.
16. Existing Assessments. Any ex isting assessments against the plat will be re-spread
against the plat in accordance with City standards.
17. Hook-up Charges. . At the time of final plat approval the Developer shall pay
30% of the City Sewer Hook-up charge and 30% of the City Water hook up charge for each lot
in the plat in the amount specified in Special Provision, Paragraph 8, of this Development
Contract. The balance of the hook-up charges is collected at the time building permits are issued
are based on 70% of the rates then in effect, unless a written request is made to assess the costs
over a four year term at the rates in effect at time of application.
18. Public Street Lighting. The Developer shall have installed and pay for public street
lights in accordance with City standards. The public street lights shall be accepted for City ownership
and maintenance at the same time that the public street is accepted for ownership and maintenance.
A plan shall be submitted for the City Engineer's approval prior to the installation. Before the City
signs the final plat, the Developer shall pay the City a fee of $300.00 for each street light installed in
GC-5
the plat. The fee shall be used by the City for furnishing electricity and maintaining each public street
light for twenty (20) months.
19. Signage. All street signs, traffic signs, and wetland monumentation required by the
City as a part of the plat shall be furnished and installed by the City at the sole expense of the
Developer.
20. House Pads. The Developer shall promptly furnish the City "as-built" plans
indicating the amount, type and limits of fill on any house pad location.
21. Responsibility for Costs.
A. The Developer shall pay an administrative fee in conjunction with the installation
of the plat improvements. This fee is to cover the cost of City Staff time and overhead for items such
as review of construction documents, preparation of the Development Contract, monitoring
construction progress, processing pay requests, processing security reductions, and final acceptance
of improvements. This fee does not cover the City's cost for construction inspections. The fee shall
be calculated as follows:
i) if the cost of the construction of public improvements is less than $500,000,
three percent (3%) of construction costs;
ii) if the cost of the construction of public improvements is between $500,000 and
$1,000,000, three percent (3%) of construction costs for the first $500,000 and
two percent (2%) of construction costs over $500,000;
iii) if the cost of the construction of public improvements is over $1,000,000, two
and one-half percent (2½%) of construction costs for the first $1,000,000 and
one and one-half percent (1½%) of construction costs over $1,000,000.
Before the City signs the final plat, the Developer shall deposit with the City a fee based upon
construction estimates. After construction is completed, the final fee shall be determined based upon
actual construction costs. The cost of public improvements is defined in paragraph 6 of the Special
Provisions.
B. In addition to the administrative fee, the Developer shall reimburse the City for all
costs incurred by the City for providing construction and erosion and sediment control inspections.
This cost will be periodically billed directly to the Developer based on the actual progress of the
construction. Payment shall be due in accordance with Article 21E of this Agreement.
C. 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 plat
approval and development. The Developer shall indemnify the City and its officers and employees
for all costs, damages, or expenses which the City may pay or incur in consequence of such claims,
including attorneys' fees.

E. The Developer shall pay in full all bills submitted to it by the City for obligations
incurred under this Contract within thirty (30) days after receipt. If the bills are not paid on time, the
City may halt all plat development work and construction, including but not limited to the issuance
of building permits for lots which the Developer may or may not have sold, until the bills are paid in
full. Bills not paid within thirty (30) days shall accrue interest at the rate of 8% per year.
F. In addition to the charges and special assessments referred to herein, other charges
and special assessments may be imposed such as, but not limited to, sewer availability charges
("SAC"), City water connection charges, City sewer connection charges, and building permit fees.
G. Private Utilities. The Developer shall have installed and pay for the installation of
electrical, natural gas, telephone, and cable television service in conjunction with the overall
development improvements. These services shall be provided in accordance with each of the
respective franchise agreements held with the City.
H. The developer shall pay the City a fee established by City Council resolution,
to reimburse the City for the cost of updating the City’s base maps, GIS data base files, and converting
the plat and record drawings into an electronic format. Record drawings must be submitted within
four months of final acceptance of public utilities. All digital information submitted to the City shall
be in the Carver County Coordinate system.
22. 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.
23. Miscellaneous.
A. Construction Trailers. Placement of on-site construction trailers and temporary job
site offices shall be approved by the City Engineer as a part of the pre-construction meeting for
installation of public improvements. Trailers shall be removed from the subject property within thirty

service in accordance with the local Postmaster's request.
C. Third Parties. Third parties shall have no recourse against the City under this
Contract. The City is not a guarantor of the Developer’s obligations under this Contract. The City
GC-7
shall have no responsibility or liability to lot purchasers or others for the City’s failure to enforce this
Contract or for allowing deviations from it.
D. Breach of Contract. Breach of the terms of this Contract by the Developer shall

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 resolution of the City Council. The City's

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 any, of hazardous wastes or pollutants on the property, unless hazardous wastes or
pollutants were caused to be there by the City.

inspection department determines from observation that there may be a soils problem. On lots with
fill material that have been mass graded as part of a multi-lot grading project, a satisfactory soils report
from a qualified soils engineer shall be provided before the City issues a building permit for the lot.

installed, including the per lineal foot bid price. The Developer is required to submit the final plat in
electronic format.
Z. As-Built Lot Surveys. An as-built lot survey will be required on all lots prior to
the Certificate of Occupancy being issued. The as-built lot survey must be prepared, signed, and
dated by a Registered Land Surveyor. Sod and the bituminous driveways must be installed before
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.
