credit for the lot in question’s landscaping is provided to the City. The City shall not issue a certificate of
occupancy for a lot until the front yard, boulevard, and side yards to the rear of every structure have been
sodded, weather permitting. If the required landscaping is not installed, the City is granted a right of entry to

completion of the landscaping on the lot, the escrowed funds less any draw made by the City, shall be returned
to the person who deposited the funds with the City.
20. LANDSCAPING. Landscaping for the Property shall comply with Plan C. Developer shall

planting and retainage of the required trees and to secure this warranty. If Developer fails to plant or retain
the required trees or fails to comply with this warranty, the City may draw upon the escrowed funds or letter
of credit to plant or replace required trees. Developer may periodically request reductions of the escrowed
funds or letter of credit and the City Engineer or his/her designee may approve such a request in an amount
of the value of each healthy tree for which the warranty has expired as determined by the City Engineer or
his/her designee. No tree plantings shall be placed within five (5) feet of a sanitary sewer, storm sewer, or
water main line. All plantings permitted in public right-of-way/boulevard areas shall be placed a minimum
four (4) feet behind the curb, be of deciduous species (no coniferous species), and be located outside of a fifty

an irrevocable letter of credit or other security deemed acceptable to the City Attorney and City Engineer

i. 125% of projected costs for the Developer Installed Public Improvements as
certified to by a registered engineer and approved by the City Engineer or his/her
designee.
ii. 125% of projected costs for the grading, drainage, wetland and erosion control plan,
including storm water calculations from proposed impervious surfaces as certified
by a registered engineer and approved by the City Engineer or his/her designee.
iii. 125% of projected costs for the landscape plan, as certified by a registered engineer
and approved by the City Engineer or his/her designee.
B. This, and any other breakdown, is for establishing the amount of the Security not a restriction
on the use of the Security. All Security held by the City may be used in any manner allowed by this
Page 14
Agreement, to reimburse the City for any costs incurred related to this Agreement and the project, and/or to
cure any breach of this Agreement.
C. The Security shall be in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C or other form as approved by
the City Attorney in writing and shall be from a bank approved by the City Attorney. The bank shall be
authorized to do business in the State of Minnesota. The Security shall extend through completion,
acceptance by the City Council and the Warranty Period of the Developer Installed Public Improvements.
D. In the event that Developer fails to comply with the terms of this Agreement (“breach”),
the City may draw on the Security in whole or in part without notice by delivering or mailing by certified
mail to the issuer a statement identifying the amount of the draw and reason for the draw. In addition, if
the Development Work is not completed at least 30 days prior to the expiration of the Security, the City
may draw on the Security in the same manner. The City shall not be under any obligation to cure any
breach of the terms of this Agreement with the proceeds from the Security, but may, at the City’s sole
option, cure the breach or retain the proceeds from the Security until Developer cures the breach. In the
event the breach is fully cured by Developer, the City shall then release to Developer such retained draw
proceeds, less any expenses incurred by the City as a result of the breach (including but not limited to
engineer’s, attorney’s, and other consultant fees and costs).
E. If the City makes a draw on the Security, Developer shall immediately replenish the
Security to an amount then sufficient to cure any breach plus 125% of the cost of all Development Work
then remaining for which the Security was required.
F. The City Engineer or his/her designee may, from time to time, and only if Developer is
otherwise in compliance with all terms of the Agreement, approve a reduction in the amount of the
Security based upon work completed. The City shall at all times throughout construction and the Warranty
Period maintain a minimum $50,000 or 10% of the Development Work for which Security was required,
whiciever is greater.

violation of City Code relating to use of the Property during construction thereon or failure to fulfill an
obligation imposed upon the Developer pursuant to this Agreement, City shall give 72 hour notice of such
violation in order to allow a cure of such violation, provided however, City need not issue a building or

an Event of Default results in a threat to the public health, safety or welfare, the City may act to correct the
default without notice.
Page 19
D. Election of Remedies. No remedy conferred in this Agreement is intended to be exclusive
and each shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy. The election of any one or more
remedies shall not constitute a waiver of any other remedy. The City may, but is not obligated to, exercise
any of the remedies referred to in this paragraph 27.

with this Agreement within twenty-four (24) months of the date hereof, Developer, for itself, its

E. Waiver. Failure of the City to require performance of any provision of this Agreement shall
not affect its right to require full performance of this Agreement at any time thereafter and the waiver by the

the effectiveness of such provision.
F. Assignment. The Developer may not assign this Agreement without the prior written
approval of the City Council. The Developer's obligation hereunder shall continue in full force and effect
even if the Developer sells one or more lots, the entire Property, or any part of it.
G. Interpretation. This Agreement shall be interpreted in accordance with and governed by the
