AGENDA ITEM DETAILS
RECOMMENDATION:
City staff recommends that the City Council approve vacation of existing easements, a final plat, and a development
contract.
ARE YOU SEEKING APPROVAL OF A CONTRACT? IS A PUBLIC HEARING REQUIRED?
Yes Yes, held by the Planning Commission on 6 April 2026
BACKGROUND/JUSTIFICATION:
Pulte Homes of Minnesota is requesting final plat approval for Meridian Fields, consisting of 49 single family lots. The
subject property is 62.27 acres located at the northwest quadrant of 70th Street (CSAH 38) and Odean Avenue.
▪ Preliminary Plat. The preliminary plat for subdivision of the subject property into 141 single family lots was
approved by the City Council on 13 April 2026. This final plat is the first phase of a subdivision to be
developed in multiple phases. Lot 1, block 1 is an existing rural residential property to remain until further
subdivided. The subdivision design of the final plat is consistent with the approved preliminary plat.
▪ Comprehensive Plan. The 2023 Otsego Comprehensive Plan includes the subject property within the East
Sewer District and guides low density residential uses at 3.0 dwelling units per acre or less. The net density of
the preliminary plat is 3.0 dwelling units per acre. The final plat consisting of single family lots served by City
sewer and water utilities is consistent with the 2023 Comprehensive Plan.
▪ Zoning. The subject site is zoned R-5, Residential Single and Two Family District. Single family dwellings are
allowed within the R-5 District as a permitted use. A Planned Unit Development-Conditional Use Permit (PUD-
CUP) was approved with the preliminary plat to allow modification of certain lot requirements.
▪ Lot Requirements. The R-5 District requires single family lots to be a minimum of 60 feet in width and 9,000
square feet in area. All lots are 60 feet in width or wider. The preliminary plat and PUD-CUP approval allowed
the minimum lot area requirement to be averaged across the subdivision, with individual lot areas ranging
from 8,400 square feet to 27,834 square feet. All lots comply with the Zoning Ordinance and PUD-CUP.
▪ Setbacks. The lots within the final plat are subject to the setback requirements of the R-5 District, shown
below. All lots have a building envelope of sufficient area and dimensions to accommodate construction of a
single family dwelling.

▪ Outlots. The final plat includes Outlot A and Outlot B. These outlots will be final platted with future phases of
the subdivision as single family lots, public right-of-way and outlots for stormwater basins, wetlands, and
wetland buffers. The developer will retain ownership of Outlot A and Outlot B.
▪ Access. The final plat is to be accessed from intersections with 70th Street (CSAH 38) and Odean Avenue.
Right-of-way dedication and the location of the access to 70th Street (CSAH 38) are subject to review and
approval by Wright County.
There is an existing easement along the east line of the subject property that was established when Odean
Avenue was improved in the 1990s. This easement is to be vacated with the final plat. The final plat includes
dedication of 40 feet of right-of-way for the west half of Odean Avenue. The location of the access to Odean
Avenue is more than 500 feet from the nearest intersection to the north or south as required by Section 10-8-
5.B.4.c of the Subdivision Ordinance. Right-of-way dedication and access to Odean Avenue are subject to
review and approval by the City Engineer.
▪ Streets. All lots will be accessed by local public streets that are 28 feet wide with concrete curb and gutter
within a 60-foot-wide right-of-way with a sidewalk along one side. There are no permanent or temporary cul-
de-sacs required within the final plat. Street names shown on the final plat are consistent with the Wright
County grid system as required by Section 10-8-5.B.13 of the Subdivision Ordinance.
Section 8-8-4 of the City Code specifies installation of street lighting for new subdivisions at the corners of
intersecting streets and midblock locations for blocks longer than 900 feet. The number and location of
streetlights are subject to review and approval of the City Engineer. The Development Contract provides for
payment of the streetlight operation fee of as established by the City Code.
The developer will pay for fabrication and installation of all street signs as stated in the Development
Contract.
All street construction plans, including street lighting and street signs, are subject to review and approval by
the City Engineer.
▪ Landscaping. The developer has submitted a landscape plan for the final plat.
Section 11-19-2.B of the Zoning Ordinance requires installation of two shade trees on each lot. The builder for
the house on each lot will install the required landscaping. Landscaping security will be collected at the time
of building permit for each lot.
Section 11-19-3.B of the Zoning Ordinance requires that lots abutting major collector and arterial streets
provide a landscape buffer yard. The required residential buffer yard for Lot 1, Block 1 is not being installed at
this time because the existing home and accessory buildings are to remain. The residential buffer yard for Lot
1, Block 1 will be required to be installed at such time the lot is subdivided into lots as shown on the sketch
plan included with the preliminary plat.
The landscape plan includes additional plantings for Lot 2, Block 1 and Lots 1 and 9, Block 4 to provide a
required residential buffer yard. The buffer yard landscaping must be revised to include additional evergreen
trees in offset rows spaced 25 feet on center, subject to review and approval by the Zoning Administrator.
All trees are to be planted within individual lots and not within public right-of-way.
▪ Stormwater Management. The developer has submitted grading and drainage plans for the final plat. The
preliminary plat included a wetland delineation and wetland impact plan for the subdivision. Stormwater
basins and wetlands that are to be preserved are included within Outlot B, which will be further subdivided
with future phases of the plat. These areas will ultimately be final platted as outlots deeded to the City.
Temporary drainage and utility easements will be required over all of Outlot A and Outlot B for stormwater
management purposes.
▪ Utilities. The developer has submitted construction plans for sewer and water utilities to serve the final plat
that are subject to review and approval by the City Engineer. The developer is required to pay Utility
Availability Charges at the time of final plat approval as outlined in the Development Contract. No fee will be
collected at this time for Lot 1, Block 1, which will remain a rural lot until further subdivided. Utility
connection charges are to be paid by the builder when a building permit is issued for each lot in accordance
with the fee schedule in effect at that time.
▪ Easements. The final plat illustrates drainage and utility easements at the perimeter of each lot and over
stormwater drainage areas or utilities. All drainage and utility easements are subject to approval of the City
Engineer for compliance with Section 10-8-12 of the Subdivision Ordinance. Temporary drainage and utility
easements that expire upon approval of a subsequent final plat are required over Outlot A and Outlot B.
▪ Park Dedication. The preliminary plat includes the condition that the developer satisfy park dedication
requirements by payment of a cash fee in lieu of land per lot as set forth by Section 10-8-15.G of the
Subdivision Ordinance. Park dedication requirements for Lot 1, Block 1 are to be deferred until such time as
the lot is further subdivided. Park dedication fees as set forth by the City’s fee schedule for the final plat will
be required to be paid at the time the Development Contract is executed.
▪ Development Contract. The City Attorney has drafted a Development Contract to be executed by the
developer to provide for completion of all public improvements, establishment of required securities, and
payment of applicable fees. The Development Contract is to be approved by resolution of the City Council
concurrent with the final plat approval.
▪ Recording. Section 11-5-3-B.8 of the Subdivision Ordinance requires recording of the final plat within 100
days of City Council approval. The City Clerk will record the final plat and Development Contract upon receipt
of the fees and securities required by the Development Contract.

DEVELOPMENT CONTRACT
(Developer Installed Improvements)
MERIDIAN FIELDS
CONTRACT dated ____________________, 2026, by and between the CITY OF OTSEGO, a
Minnesota municipal corporation (“City”), and PULTE HOMES OF MINNESOTA LLC, a Minnesota
limited liability company (the “Developer”).
1. REQUEST FOR PLAT APPROVAL. The Developer has asked the City to approve a plat
for MERIDIAN FIELDS (referred to in this Contract as the "plat"). The land is situated in the County of
Wright, State of Minnesota, and is legally described 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,
2
239505v1 Meridian Fields
streets, utilities, public or private improvements, or any buildings until all the following conditions have been
satisfied: 1) this contract has been fully executed by both parties and filed with the City Clerk, 2) the
necessary security has been received by the City, 3) the necessary insurance for the Developer and its
construction contractors has been received by the City, and 4) the plat has been filed with the Wright
County Recorder or Registrar of Titles’ office.
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.
6. CHANGES IN OFFICIAL CONTROLS. For five (5) years from the date of this Contract, no
amendments to the City’s Comprehensive Plan 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.
7. CONTRACTORS/SUBCONTRACTORS. City Council members, City employees, and
City Planning Commission members, and corporations, partnerships, and other entities in which such
individuals have greater than a twenty five percent (25%) ownership interest or in which they are an
3
239505v1 Meridian Fields
officer or director may not act as contractors or subcontractors for the public improvements identified in
Paragraph 6 above.
8. DEVELOPMENT PLANS. The plat shall be developed in accordance with the following
plans. The plans shall not be attached to this Contract. The plans may be prepared, subject to the City
Engineer’s approval, after entering the Contract, but before commencement of any work in the plat. The
City Engineer may approve minor amendments to plans without City Council approval. If the plans vary
from the written terms of this Contract, the written terms shall control. The plans are:
Plan A - Plat
Plan B - Final Grading, Drainage, and Erosion Control Plan
Plan C - Plans and Specifications for Public Improvements
Plan D - Street Lighting Plan
Plan E - Landscape Plan
9. IMPROVEMENTS. The Developer shall install and pay for the following:
A. Sanitary Sewer System
B. Water System
C. Storm Sewer System
D. Streets
E. Concrete Curb and Gutter
F. Street Lights
G. Site Grading, Stormwater Treatment/Infiltration Basins, and Erosion Control
H. Underground Utilities
I. Setting of Iron Monuments

4
239505v1 Meridian Fields
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,
utility and street construction.
10. PERMITS. The Developer shall obtain or require its contractors and subcontractors to
obtain all necessary permits, which may include:
A. Wright County for County Road Access and Work in County Rights-of-Way
B. MnDot for State Highway Access
C. MnDot for Work in Right-of-Way
5
239505v1 Meridian Fields
D. Minnesota Department of Health for Watermains
E. MPCA NPDES Permit for Construction Activity
F. MPCA for Sanitary Sewer and Hazardous Material Removal and Disposal
G. DNR for Dewatering
H. City of Otsego for Building Permits, Retaining Walls, Irrigation
I. MDH for water permits
J. MPCA for sewer extension
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, 2027.
13. STREETS. The Developer agrees to maintain the streets within the plat until the base
course bituminous surfacing has been accepted by the City. Should the City be required to grade the street
prior to paving, the cost of such grading shall be paid by the Developer and draw from the Developer’s letter
of credit. Should the City determine that snowplowing is necessary prior to final wear course installation, the
City will plow the street(s) prior to acceptance of the streets. The Developer shall hold harmless and
indemnify the City from any and all liability related to snow plowing and shall pay all costs associated with
snow plowing. Any plowing undertaken by the City shall not constitute City acceptance or evidence of
acceptance of the street(s) in question. The final wear course shall not be constructed until at least one
construction season after the base construction is completed and shall be delayed one more construction
season if at least seventy five percent (75%) build out is not achieved. However, the final wear course shall
not be delayed for a period longer than two (2) years after the base course is paved, regardless of build out;
in which case, the Developer shall provide an escrow for fog sealing the streets in the event the final wear
6
239505v1 Meridian Fields
course is placed prior to seventy five percent (75%) build out. Upon final completion of streets and
acceptance by the City as a City street rather than a private drive, the Developer shall guarantee to the City
for a period of two (2) years the streets have been constructed to City standards. The warranty period shall
not commence until such time as street construction is completed and the streets are accepted as City
streets by the City. The two (2) year warranty period set forth above commences upon the date on which
the City accepts the streets by resolution.
14. 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.
15. EROSION CONTROL. Prior to initiating site grading, the erosion control plan, Plan B, shall
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
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.
16. 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
7
239505v1 Meridian Fields
(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
