CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: AUGUST 22, 2016
AGENDA #: 5I

AGENDA ITEM:
CONSIDER APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE CHATONKA
HEIGHTS FINAL PLAT AND DEVELOPMENT CONTRACT
DISCUSSION: Introduction
The purpose of this agenda item is to consider approval of a Final Plat for Cha-
tonka Heights as submitted by Hemlock Holdings LLC. The subject property is
proposed to be developed as a 22-lot, low density residential subdivision. The
site is approximately 9 acres and is located south of Carriage Hills Parkway,
north of Beach Street, and east of Bluebird Trail.
History
The City Council approved the preliminary plat of Chatonka Heights on June 27,
2016. After conducting a public hearing, the Planning Commission recom-
mended the plat to the Council.
Current Circumstances
The development plan calls for a 22 lot single family residential development.
Staff has reviewed the final plat and finds it to be in substantial compliance with
the approved preliminary plat.
Conclusion
The platting of this property will allow the construction of 22 lot residential subdi-
vision. The City Staff recommends approval of the final plat and the correspond-
ing development contract.
ISSUES: The principal requirements for final plat approval include an agreement as a De-
velopment Contract that specifies the development fees and other requirements
for the platted lots. An exhibit to the development agreement details a purchase
agreement that will be required between the City and the developer for realign-
ment of the storm water ponding area at the southeastern corner of the site. The
City will transfer a portion of the existing storm water pond lot to the developer for
rear yard areas of the residential lots; and in turn, the developer will transfer a
larger portion of the existing private property for expansion of the storm water
pond.
The developer has submitted a landscape plan that identifies all required tree
replacements on site within the private residential lots, boulevards, and storm
water pond outlot. It is the intention of the developer to fully place all tree re-
placements on site. However, if this is not possible due to future homebuyer
preferences or other reasons discovered once the project is developing, it may
2
be necessary for the development agreement to be amended in the future to allow
for off-site tree replacement and/or a fee in lieu of replacement. On August 15,
the Planning Commission authorized City staff to move forward with a public
hearing to consider amending the City’s ordinance to allow this option. Any
amendment to the development agreement would require City Council approval.
At this writing, the developer has not executed the development contract. If the
document is not executed by the time of the city council meeting , staff will re-
quest that this item be removed from council consideration until the next regular
meeting.
FINANCIAL
IMPACT:
Approval of this final plat will allow construction of a 22 single family residential
lots which will contribute to the City’s tax base.
ALTERNATIVES: 1. Motion and a second, as part of the Consent Agenda, to approve a resolu-
tion approving the Chatonka Heights Final Plat and Development Contract.
2. Remove this item from the consent agenda for additional discussion.

written authorization by the City Engineer. Any requests for reductions in the Security must be made in
writing to the City Engineer and must be accompanied by lien waivers from any contractor or subcontractor
for the Developer. Twenty-five percent (25%) of the Security shall be retained until all Developer Installed
Improvements and other obligations under this Development Contract have been completed, including, but
not limited to, all financial obligations, and the receipt of all required as-built street, utility and grading plans
by the City. Once the City has accepted the project, as-builts have been completed, all punch list items are
completed and warranty bonds submitted, the Security may be reduced to 5% of the original amount. Upon
completion of the warranty period the 5% Security may be released. In no event shall the five percent (5%)
Page 16
Security be released until the Developer provides the City Engineer with a certificate from the Developer's
registered land surveyor stating that all irons have been set following site grading and utility and street
construction.
35. WARRANTY. The Developer warrants all Developer Installed Improvements required to be
constructed by it pursuant to this Development Contract against poor material and faulty workmanship. The
Developer shall post warranty bonds in the amount of twenty-five (25%) of the cost of the improvements as
security. The warranty period for streets is one (1) year. The warranty period for underground utilities is two
(2) years. The warranty period on Developer Installed Improvements shall commence on the date the City
Engineer issues written acceptance of the improvement. All punch list items must be completed and “as-
built” drawings received prior to the commencement of the warranty period. The retained Security and/or
the warranty bonds may be used by the City to pay for warranty work. The City standard specifications for
utilities and street construction identify the procedures for final acceptance of streets and utilities. These
standards are set out in the PWDM.
36. OVERSIZING. City and Developer agree that the Developer Installed Improvements should
be oversized for the benefit of future development. Oversizing is the construction of a Developer Installed
Improvement to City specifications that exceeds those that would be required of the Developer. Oversizing
improvements include, but are not limited to, sanitary sewer, water, storm drainage facilities, and road
improvements. If the City Engineer determines that oversizing is required, the City shall reimburse the
Developer for the costs associated with this work and as approved in this Development Contract. City and
Developer agree that the cost of system oversizing to be reimbursed to the Developer is $0.00 based upon a
cost estimate by the City Engineer as determined by an engineer’s estimate or contractors bid to be provided
by the Developer and application of the City's Assessment Policy based on a final engineering design. The
calculation for oversizing is attached as Exhibit D.
37. CLAIMS.
Page 17
A. City Authorized to Commence Interpleader Action. In the event that the City
receives claims from labor, materialmen, or others that work required by this Development Contract has been
performed, the sums due them have not been paid, and the laborers, materialmen, or others are seeking
payment, the Developer hereby authorizes the City to commence an Interpleader action pursuant to the
Minnesota Rules of Civil Procedure for the District Courts, to draw upon the Security in an amount up to
125% of the claim(s) and deposit the funds in compliance with the Rules, and upon such deposit, the
Developer consents to and shall not object to the Court issuing an order releasing, discharging, and dismissing
the City from any further proceedings as it pertains to the Security deposited with the District Court, except
that the Court shall retain jurisdiction to determine attorneys' fees pursuant to this Development Contract.
B. Prompt Payment to Subcontractors Required. The Developer shall pay any
subcontractor within ten (10) days of the Developer's receipt of payment for undisputed services provided by
the subcontractor. If the Developer fails within that time to pay the subcontractor any undisputed amount for
which the Developer has received payment, the Developer shall pay interest to the subcontractor on the unpaid
amount at the rate of 1½ percent (1.5%) per month or any part of a month. The minimum monthly interest
penalty payment for an unpaid balance of $100 or more is $10. For an unpaid balance of less than $100, the
Developer shall pay the actual interest penalty due to the subcontractor. A subcontractor who prevails in a
civil action to collect interest penalties from the Developer shall be awarded its costs and disbursement,
including attorney's fees incurred in bringing the action, from the Security or other security provided by the
Developer to the City. (See Minn. Stat. §471.425, Subd. 4a.)
38. RESPONSIBILITY FOR COSTS.
A. The Developer shall reimburse the City for costs incurred in the enforcement of this
Development Contract, including engineering and attorneys' fees.
