follows:
1. Concept Plan Master Agreement.
A. That certain Developer's Agreement entitled "City of Albertville Developer's
Agreement Cedar Creek Golf Course Planned Unit Development Concept Plan
Master Agreement" ("Master Agreement") between Pilot Land Development
Company, Inc. and the City of Albertville, dated February 27, 1998 is hereby
incorporated herein the same as if the text of said Agreement were contained within
this document.
B. It is the intent of the parties that this Developer's Agreement ("Developer's
2
Agreement") supplement the Master Agreement as to the specific development
issues related to Center Oaks Third Addition, and that these two documents be read
together to determine the rights and obligations of the parties with respect to the
property contained within the Center Oaks Third Addition. In the event of a conflict
between the terms of the Master Agreement and this Developer's Agreement, the
terms of this Developer's Agreement shall control with respect to any conflicting
issues within Center Oaks Third Addition, but any such conflicts shall not alter the
terms of the Master Agreement as they apply to other plats, now existing or to be
platted in the future, within the remaining land area subject to the Master Agreement.
2. Construction of Municipal Improvements. The Developer shall construct those
Municipal Improvements located on and off Said Plat as detailed in the Plans and
Specifications for Center Oaks Third Addition, as prepared by Meyer-Rohlin, Inc. dated
June 10, 1998 (as revised on July 8, 1998) as on file with the City Clerk, said
improvements to include installation of water mains, sanitary and storm sewers, storm
water ponding, site grading, curb and gutter, paved streets and cul-de-sacs at the
terminus of 53rd Street and the western terminus of Kahler Drive. All such
improvements shall be constructed according to the standards adopted by the City, along
with all items required by the City Engineer. Unless the City Engineer specifies a later
date, said improvements shall be installed by October 31, 1998, with the wear course of
bituminous pavement to be installed after May 15, 1999, but before June 30, 1999.
3. Construction of On- and OfT-Site Improvements. Developer shall construct all on-
and off-site improvements including installation of boulevards, street signs, traffic signs,
yard top soil, sod in all front and side yards, at least one tree in the front yard, grass
seeding in back yards, grading control per lot, bituminous or concrete driveways,
drainage swales, benning, and like items as necessary, street cleanup during project
development, and erosion control, all as required by City ordinance. Said on- and off-
site improvements shall be installed no later than October 31, 2001, with the exception
of erosion control, drainage swales and berming, which shall be installed upon initial
grading of Subject Property.
4. Intended Use of Subdivision Lots, Requirements. It is the Developer's and City's
intent that single-family detached dwelling units are to be constructed on the lots within
Said Plat (one unit on each lot). Developer agrees that it shall not construct any units
other than said single-family detached dwelling units on the land in Said Plat. Lots
located in Said Plat may have varying front yard setbacks, provided that no front yard
setback may be less than thirty (30) feet. The final plat must show the minimum front
yard setbacks and these setbacks must remain in force throughout the life of the Planned
Unit Development. Finally, Developer must provide one (1) deciduous or coniferous
3
tree per lot within Said Plat.
5. Surety Requirements. Developer will provide the City with an irrevocable letter of
credit (or other surety as approved by the City Attorney) as security for the obligations
of the Developer required to be performed under this contract. Said letter of credit or
surety shall be in the amount of $225,000 representing 100% of the estimated remaining
cost of the installation of the Municipal Improvements. Said letter of credit or surety
must meet the approval of the City attorney as to form and issuing bank. If a bond is
used for up to 25% of the surety amount, said bond shall be in an amount at least 1.5
times the percentage of the required surety which the bond represents. No bond, letter of
credit or other monetary surety is required to secure construction of the on and off-site
improvements. However, the parties understand and agree that a certificate of occupancy
will not issue on any particular lot until all on and off-site improvements necessary to
that lot are constructed (subject to paragraph 2E of the Master Agreement), to the City's
reasonable satisfaction, as required under this Agreement.
6. Sanitary Sewer Trunk Line Fees. Developer agrees that the City's Sanitary Sewer
Trunk Line Fee Ordinance requires the Developer to pay $1,400.00 per acre in sanitary
sewer trunk line fees. There are 15.05 acres ofland in Said Plat (excluding outlots A
and B). However, per the agreement outlined in Parkside 3rd Addition Developer's
Agreement, paragraph 2, pages 2-5, the developer will be credited $900.00 per acre prior
to the installation of a sanitary sewer trunk line. Therefore, the Developer shall be
required to pay $7,525.00 ($500.00 x 15.05 acres). Developer will pay said fee prior to
the release of the fmal plat by the City.
7. Erosion and Siltation Control. Before any grading is started on any site, all erosion
control measures as shown on the approved erosion control plan shall be strictly
complied with as set forth in the attached Exhibit B. Developer shall also install all
erosion control measures deemed necessary by the City Engineer should the erosion
control plan prove inadequate in any respect.
8. Ditch Cleaning. Developer shall comply with all requirements set forth for drainage
into any county ditch or other ditch through which water from Subject Property may
drain, and shall make any necessary improvements or go through any necessary
procedures to ensure compliance with any legally enforceable federal, state, county or
city requirements, all at Developer's expense. The City may elect to (but shall not be
required to) refund to the Developer expenses incurred by Developer for machine
operator time spent cleaning the ditch beyond the boundaries of Said Plat.
4
9. Miscellaneous.
A. This Contract shall run with the land and shall be recorded against the title to the
property (or shall be recorded via a short-form companion document referencing
this Agreement). Upon the Developer's request the City will execute and deliver
to the Developer a release discharging Developer's obligations under this
Agreement, provided the Developer has completed all work and met all
obligations required under this Contract, and after expiration of the warranty
period.
B. The Developer represents to the City that Said Plat complies with all City,
county, state and federal laws and regulations, including but not limited to,
subdivision ordinances, zoning ordinances, and environmental regulations. If the
City determines that the plat does not comply, the City may, at its option, refuse
to allow construction or development work in Said Plat until the Developer so
complies. Upon the City's demand, the Developer shall cease work until there is
compliance.
C. Prior to the execution of this Agreement and prior to the start of any construction
on the Subject Property, Developer shall provide the City with evidence of good
and marketable title to all of Subject Property. Evidence of good and marketable
title shall consist of a Title Insurance Policy or Commitment from a national title
insurance company, or an abstract of title updated by an abstract company
registered under the laws of the State of Minnesota.
D. Developer shall comply with all legally enforceable water, ponding and wetland
related restrictions as contained in the November 18, 1997 letter from the Wright
County Soil and Water Conservation District (said letter is on file with the City
Clerk).
E. Developer shall not place any structure at an elevation such that the lowest grade
opening is less than two feet above the highest known surface water level or
ordinary high water level or less than one foot above the 100-year flood level of
any adjacent water body or wetland. If sufficient data on high water levels is not
available, the elevation of the line of permanent aquatic vegetation shall be used
as the estimated high water elevation. When fIll is required to meet this
elevation, the fIll shall be allowed to stabilize and construction shall not begin
until the property has been approved by the Building Inspector or a professional
soils engineer.
5
10. Dedications to the City.
A. The Developer, upon presentation to the City of evidence of good and marketable
title to Subject Property, and upon completion of all construction work and
certification of completion by the City Engineer, shall dedicate all roads, road
right of ways, sewers and water mains to the City. Upon acceptance of
dedication, Developer shall provide to the City "As-Boots" of all sewers, water
mains, and roads. Acceptance by City of any dedication shall occur upon
passage of a resolution to such effect by the City Council.
B. Developer acknowledges and agrees that a total of 1.51 acres of park land (15.05
acres of residential land x .10) are required to be dedicated to the City under the
City's current park dedication ordinance, or the Developer must pay the City a
park dedication fee of$I,300.00 per buildable lot being platted. The Developer
is not dedicating any park land with this plat, but Developer does have a credit of
.35 acre from the platting of excess park land with the Center Oaks Second
Addition Plat. Said.35 acre of park dedication credit satisfies 23.2% of
Developer's park dedication requirements on Said Plat, leaving 76.8% of park
dedication to be satisfied by Developer. Developer and City thus agree that the
park dedication requirement shall be met via the payment of $39,936 in cash to
the City (40 lots x $1,300.00 per lot x 76.8% of remaining park dedication). This
amount shall be paid to the City within 45 days of completion of construction of
the trails installed as part of the Center Oaks Second Addition plat construction,
but said amounts shall be offset by any park dedication credits available from
prior plats as a result of the construction of trails on said prior plats, provided said
credits have not been offset against other park dedication amounts owed by
Developer.
C. Developer shall, via written notice, inform any prospective purchasers of lots
abutting said trails of the proposed trails on the City's trail plan prior to the sale
of said lots to the prospective purchasers.
11. Plant Capacity. The City reserves the right to allocate wastewater treatment plant
capacity in a manner it finds to be in the best interests of the public health, safety and
welfare.
12. Indemnity. Developer shall hold the City and its officers, employees and agents
harmless from claims made by Developer and Third Parties for damages sustained or
costs incurred resulting from Said Plat approval and development. The Developer
shall indemnify the City and its officers, employees and agents for all costs, damages
6
or expenses which the City may payor incur in consequence of such claims,
including attorney's fees. Third parties shall have no recourse against the City under
this contract.
13. Assignment of Contract. The obligations of the Developer under this Contract
cannot be assigned without the express written consent of the City Council through
Council resolution.
14. Agreement Effect. This agreement shall be binding upon and extend to the
representatives, heirs, successors and assigns of the parties hereto.
