noted on the checklist attached as Exhibit E to this Agreement. Approval of the Development Plan <br />may be contingent upon soil borings verifying elevations and compaction tests for proposed house pads. <br />14.Landscaping. Developer shall cause the homebuilder to install two over story (deciduous) <br />trees in the boulevard of each Lot. All required trees shall be 2 inches in caliper. <br />(01)All residential landscaping requirements shall be completed prior to occupancy of the dwelling <br />unit, or by June 1 following occupancy if occupancy occurs October 15 through May 31. <br />(02)In the event the landscaping, including trees and establishment of turf, is not complete at the <br />time of Certificate of Occupancy, the City may issue a certificate of occupancy and require the <br />provision of a cash deposit from the builder of the lot to guarantee the successful completion of the <br />landscaping improvement. The cash deposit shall be no less than $1,000.00. The City, its employees, <br />agents or contractors shall have the right to go upon the property to complete the landscaping without <br />permission of the owner of the property or lot, and shall not be liable for trespass. The City may also <br />require a deposit as part of the building permit fee to secure compliance with the landscaping <br />requirements. <br />15.Surface and Groundwater Management. <br />(01)Dewatering. Due to the variable nature of groundwater levels and stormwater flows, it will be <br />the Developer’s and the Developer’s contractors and subcontractors responsibility to satisfy <br />themselves with regard to the elevation of groundwater in the area and the level of effort needed to <br />perform dewatering and storm flow routing operations. All dewatering shall be in accordance with all <br />applicable county, state, and federal rules and regulations. DNR regulations regarding appropriations <br />permits shall also be strictly followed. <br />(02)Wetlands. If the Developer proposes the filling of wetlands in connection with development <br />of the Subdivision, final plat approval is contingent upon, and the final plat shall not be recorded until, <br />receipt of necessary permits from appropriate regulatory agencies to fill wetlands as proposed by the <br />Developer and approval by the Technical Evaluation Panel of the proposed mitigation plan for <br />wetlands filling. If these permits are denied, or approval of the wetland permit and mitigation plan is <br />subject to conditions which significantly impact the Subdivision, the final plat for the Subdivision shall <br />be resubmitted to the City Council for consideration of changes required for the wetland approvals. <br />The City shall receive a copy of the monitoring report annually for three years. <br />(03)Erosion Control. Prior to initiating any work on the site, the erosion control plan, Plan B, <br />shall be implemented by the Developer and inspected and approved by the City or other regulating <br />authority. The City may impose additional erosion control requirements if they are deemed necessary <br />to protect the downstream waters of the state. All areas disturbed by the grading operations shall be <br />stabilized per the MPCA NPDES Stormwater Permit for Construction Activity and the City MS4 <br />permit. Seed shall be in accordance with the City’s current seeding specification which will include <br />temporary erosion control measures to provide ground cover as rapidly as possible. All seeded areas <br />shall be fertilized, mulched, and watered as necessary for seed retention and growth. The parties <br />recognize that time is of the essence in controlling erosion. If the Developer does not comply with <br />the MPCA NPDES Stormwater Permit for Construction Activity, the City MS4 permit, with the <br />erosion control plan and schedule, or supplementary instructions received from the City or other <br />regulating authority, the City may take such action as it deems appropriate to control erosion. The City <br />will endeavor to notify the Developer in advance of any proposed action, but failure of the City to do <br />so will not affect the Developer’s and City’s rights or obligations hereunder. If the Developer does <br />not reimburse the City for any cost the City incurred for such work within ten (10) days, the City may <br />draw down the letter of credit to pay any costs. No development, utility or street construction will be <br />9 <br />
