company (the "Developer")
1. REQUEST FOR PLAT APPROVAL. The Developer has asked the City to approve a plat
for QUEENS AVE OTSEGO (referred to in this Contract as the "plat"). The land is situated in the County
of Wright, State of Minnesota, and is legally on Exhibit A attached hereto and made a part hereof.
2. CONDITIONS OF PLAT APPROVAL. The City hereby approves the plat on condition that
the Developer enter into this Contract, furnish the security required by it, and record the plat with the
County Recorder or Registrar of Titles within one hundred (100) days after the City Council approves the
final plat.
3. RIGHT TO PROCEED. Within the plat or land to be platted, the Developer may not grade
or otherwise disturb the earth or remove trees, unless a grading permit has been approved by the City
Engineer following approval of a preliminary plat by the City Council, construct sewer lines, water lines,

4. PHASED DEVELOPMENT. If the plat is a phase of a multi -phased 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 dedication charges 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.
5. 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 and outlots, within two (2) years after preliminary plat approval.

The improvements shall be installed in accordance with the City subdivision ordinance; City
standard specifications for utility and street construction; and any other ordinances including Chapter 6 of
the City Code concerning erosion and sediment control. The Developer shall submit plans and
specifications which have been prepared by a competent Minnesota registered professional engineer to the
City for approval by the City Engineer. The Developer shall instruct its engineer to provide adequate field
inspection personnel to assure an acceptable level of quality control to the extent that the Developer's
engineer will be able to certify that the construction work meets the approved City standards as a condition
of City acceptance. In addition, the City may, at the City's discretion and at the Developer's expense, have
one or more City inspectors and a soil engineer inspect the work on a full or part-time basis. The
Developer, its contractors and subcontractors, shall follow all instructions received from the City's
inspectors. The Developer's engineer shall provide for on -site project management. The Developer's
engineer is responsible for design changes and contract administration between the Developer and the
Developer's contractor. The Developer or its engineer shall schedule a pre -construction meeting at a
mutually agreeable time at the City with all parties concerned, including the City staff, to review the
program for the construction work. Within thirty (30) days after the completion of the improvements and
before the security is released, the Developer shall supply the City with a complete set of reproducible "as -
constructed" plans and an electronic file of the "as -constructed" plans in an AutoCAD .DWG file or a .DXF
file, all prepared in accordance with City standards.
In accordance with Minnesota Statutes 505.021, the final placement of iron monuments for all lot
corners must be completed before the applicable security is released. The Developer's surveyor shall also
submit a written notice to the City certifying that the monuments have been installed following site grading,

11. DEWATERING. Due to the variable nature of groundwater levels and stormwater flows, it
will be the Developer's and the Developer's contractors and subcontractors responsibility to satisfy
themselves with regard to the elevation of groundwater in the area and the level of effort needed to
perform dewatering and storm flow routing operations. All dewatering shall be in accordance with all
applicable county, state, and federal rules and regulations. DNR regulations regarding appropriations
permits shall also be strictly followed.
12. TIME OF PERFORMANCE. The Developer shall install all required public improvements
by November 30, 2026.

be implemented by the Developer and inspected and approved by the City. The City may impose
additional erosion control requirements if they would be beneficial. All areas disturbed by the grading
operations shall be stabilized per the MPCA Stormwater Permit for Construction Activity. Seed shall be in
accordance with the City's current seeding specification which may include temporary seed to provide
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. If the
Developer does not comply with the MPCA Stormwater Permit for Construction Activity or with the erosion
control plan and schedule or supplementary instructions received from the City, the City may take such
R
237456v1
Queens Ave Otsego
action as it deems appropriate to control erosion. 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. If the Developer does not reimburse the City for any cost the City incurred for such
work within ten (10) days, the City may draw down the letter of credit to pay any costs. No development,
utility or street construction will be allowed and no building permits will be issued unless the plat is in full
compliance with the approved erosion control plan.
15. GRADING. The plat shall be graded in accordance with the approved grading development
and erosion control plan, Plan "B". The plan shall conform to City of Otsego specifications. Within thirty
(30) days after completion of the grading and before the City approves individual building permits (except
three (3) model home permits on lots acceptable to the Building Official), the Developer shall provide the
City with an "as -constructed" grading plan certified by a registered land surveyor or engineer that all storm
water treatment/infiltration basins and swales, have been constructed on public easements or land owned
by the City. The "as -constructed" plan shall include field verified elevations of the following: a) cross
sections of storm water treatment/infiltration basins; b) location and elevations along all swales, wetlands,
wetland mitigation areas if any, locations and dimensions of borrow areas/stockpiles, and installed
"conservation area" posts; and c) lot corner elevations and house pads, and all other items listed in City
Code. The City will withhold issuance of building permits until the approved certified grading plan is on file
with the City and all erosion control measures are in place as determined by the City Engineer. The
Developer certifies to the City that all lots with house footings placed on fill have been monitored and
constructed to meet or exceed FHA/HUD 79G specifications. The soils observation and testing report,
including referenced development phases and lot descriptions, shall be submitted to the Building Official for
review prior to the issuance of building permits.
Before a building permit is issued, a cash escrow shall be furnished to the City in accordance with
the City's current fee schedule to guarantee compliance with the erosion control and grading
requirements and the submittal of an as -built certificate of survey. If the final grading, erosion control and
as -built survey is not timely completed, the City may enter the lot, perform the work, and apply the cash
6
237456v1
Queens Ave Otsego
escrow toward the cost. Upon satisfactory completion of the grading, erosion control and as -built survey,
the escrow funds, without interest, less any draw made by the City, shall be returned to the person who
deposited the funds with the City.
A certified as -built building pad survey must be submitted and approved for commercial, industrial
or institutional developments prior to issuance of a building permit.

construction work by the Developer, home builders, subcontractors, their agents or assigns. Prior to any
construction in the plat, the Developer shall identify in writing a responsible party and schedule for erosion
control, street cleaning, and street sweeping.
