BACKGROUND/JUSTIFICATION:
Capstone Harvest Run, LLC received preliminary plat approval for Harvest Run East, located east of Queens
Avenue and south of 65th Street abutting Harvest Run, Riverpointe, Wokson Hills, and Autumn Woods, on
13 May 2019. The developer is proposing to final plat the 4th Addition of the development to consist of 61
single family and single family villa lots.
▪ Zoning. The subject site is R-5, Single and Two Family District, which allows the proposed single
family lots and single family villa lots as permitted uses.
▪ Landscaping. The developer received approval of a landscape plan for the preliminary plat that
has been approved as compliant with Sections 11-19-2.B and C of the Zoning Ordinance. The
developer will install the landscaping as shown on the approved plan within the final plat as
construction of houses on each lot progresses. The security for the landscaping will be collected at
the time of building permit for each lot.
▪ Lot Requirements. The site design for the proposed lots and blocks accessed by public streets is
consistent with the preliminary plat. The proposed lots within the final plat comply with the
minimum lot area and width requirements established in accordance with the preliminary plat
approval, shown below:
Lot

Corner
▪ Streets. The proposed lots will be accessed by local public streets that are to be 28 feet wide with
concrete curb and gutter within a 60 foot wide right-of-way that will be constructed as part of the
Harvest Run East final plat approval. Street lights and street signs will be installed in accordance
with the City Code and Engineering Manual, respectively. The developer will pay for the costs of
the street signs and initial operation of the street lights as set forth in the development contract.
▪ Easements. The final plat illustrates drainage and utility easements at the perimeter of each single
family lot and overlaying stormwater and utility facilities as required by Section 10-8-12.A of the
Subdivision Ordinance. The application includes a request to vacate and existing drainage and
utility easement overlaying City trunk utility pipes. The drainage and utility easement will be
supplanted by public right-of-way for 61st Street and drainage and utility easements dedicated with
the final plat. All drainage and utility easements are subject to approval of the City Engineer.
▪ Grading and Drainage Plans. The developer has submitted grading and drainage plans for Harvest
Run East, including the subject site. The site was been mass graded as part of the first phase of
development and additional grading is occurring under a separate grading agreement executed by
the developer. The area of Outlot A includes an existing wetland, requiring that the outlot be
deeded to the City for long-term ownership and maintenance. All grading, drainage, and erosion
control issues are subject to review and approval of the City Engineer.
▪ Utilities. The developer has submitted utility plans for the proposed final plat to extend water and
sewer services. The developer will pay Utility Availability Charges for the proposed final plat at the
time of approval as provided for in the Development Contract. Utility connection charges are to be
paid when a building permit is issued for each lot in accordance with the fee schedule in effect at
that time.
▪ Park and Trail Dedication. The Parks Master Plan and preliminary plat does not identify acquisition
of land from the area of the proposed final plat. Park dedication requirements for the proposed
final plat are to be satisfied as a cash fee in lieu of land paid at the time of approval. The developer
will construct a trail between 61st Street and 59th Street to satisfy the requirement for connections
between neighborhoods. Outlot B encompassing this trail connection is to be deeded to the City.
▪ Development Contract. The City Attorney has drafted a Development Contract related to the
proposed final plat to provide for completion of all public improvements, establishment of required
securities, and payment of applicable fees. The Development Contract is to be adopted by
resolution of the City Council concurrent with the final plat approval and executed prior to
recording of the final plat.
▪ Recording. Section 10-5-3-B.8 of the Subdivision Ordinance requires recording of the final plat
within 100 days of City Council approval. The developer is requesting that they record the final plat
before 31 March 2022, which the City Council may agree to. If not recorded before 31 December
2021, then the fees and securities required by the Development Contract are to be updated to the
City Fee Schedule thereafter in effect.

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 street paving, 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 this snow plowing and shall pay all costs associated with this snow
plowing. Any plowing undertaken by the City shall constitute no 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 75% build out is not achieved. However, the final wear course shall not be delayed for a period longer
than two 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 course is placed prior to 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.

218607v4
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
(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
7

“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. Prior to the release of the required
individual lot grading and erosion control security that is submitted with the building permit, an as-built
certificate of survey for single family lots must be submitted to verify that the final as-built grades and
elevations of the specific lot and all building setbacks are consistent with the approved grading plan for the
development, and amendments thereto as approved by the City Engineer, and that all required property
monuments are in place. 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 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.

RESTRICTIONS AND COVENANTS
The Declarant makes the following declaration of restrictions and covenants for the Replacement
Wetland. These restrictions and covenants shall run with the land, and bind Declarant, and Declarant's
heirs, successors, and assigns:
1. The Declarant shall maintain a Replacement Wetland of the size and type specified in the
replacement plan approved by the LGU and on file at the offices of the LGU. Declarant shall not make
any use of the Replacement Wetland that would adversely affect the functions or values of the wetland
as determined by Minnesota Rules 8420.0522, and as specified in the replacement plan.
2. Declarant shall pay the costs of maintenance, repairs, reconstruction, and replacement of
the Replacement Wetland, which the LGU or the State of Minnesota through the Minnesota Board of
Water and Soil Resources may deem necessary to comply with the specifications for the Replacement
Wetland in the approved replacement plan.
3. Declarant grants to the LGU, the State of Minnesota, and the agents and employees of
the LGU and the State of Minnesota, reasonable access to the Replacement Wetland for inspection,
monitoring, and enforcement purposes. This Declaration grants no access to or entry on the lands
described to the general public.
4. Declarant represents that he or she has a fee simple or easement interest in the land on
which the Replacement Wetland is or will be located. Declarant represents that he or she has obtained
the consent of all other parties who may have an interest in the land on which the Replacement Wetland

have agreed in writing to subordinate their interests to these restrictions and covenants, pursuant to the
attached Consent and Subordination Agreement(s).
5. Declarant shall record or file this Declaration, pay all costs associated with recording or
filing, and provide proof of recording or filing to the LGU. If this Declaration is given pursuant to a
replacement plan, such proof shall be provided to the LGU before proceeding with construction of the
Replacement Wetland.
6. Acknowledge that this Easement shall be unlimited in duration, without being re-recorded.
This Easement shall be deemed to be a perpetual conservation easement pursuant to Minn. Stat. ch. 84C.
7. If the replacement plan approved by the LGU and on file at its offices requires the
establishment of areas of native vegetative cover, the term “Replacement Wetland” as used in this
Declaration shall also include the required areas of permanent vegetative cover, even if such areas are
not wetlands. All provisions of this Declaration that apply to the Replacement Wetland shall apply
equally to the required areas of native vegetative cover. In addition, the Declarant:
(a) Shall comply with the applicable requirements of Minnesota Rules 8420.0526;
(b) Shall, at Declarant’s cost, establish and maintain permanent vegetative cover on areas
specified in the replacement plan for native vegetative cover, including any necessary planting

plan;
(c) Shall not produce agricultural crops on the areas specified in the replacement plan;
(d) Shall not graze livestock on the areas specified in the replacement plan or;

(f) Shall, at Declarant’s cost, be responsible for weed control by complying with noxious weed
control laws and emergency control of pests necessary to protect the public health on the areas
specified in the replacement plan; and
(g) Shall comply with any other requirements or restrictions specified in the replacement plan,
including, but not limited to, haying, mowing, timber management or other vegetative alterations
that do not enhance or would degrade the ecological functions and values of the replacement
site.
8. This Declaration may be modified only by the joint written approval of the LGU and the
State of Minnesota through the Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources. If the Replacement
Wetland has been used to mitigate wetland losses under the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, the
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (or successor agency) must also agree to the modification in writing.
Such modification may include the release of land contained in the legal description above, if it is
determined that non-wetland areas have been encumbered by this Declaration, unless the approved
replacement plan designates these non-wetland areas for establishment of permanent vegetative cover.
9. This Declaration may be enforced, at law or in equity, by the LGU, or by the State of
Minnesota. The LGU and the State of Minnesota shall be entitled to recover an award of reasonable
attorneys fees from Declarant in any action to enforce this Declaration. The right to enforce the terms of
this Declaration is not waived or forfeited by any forbearance or failure to act on the part of the State or
LGU. If the subject replacement area is to be used partially or wholly to fulfill permit requirements under
the Federal Water Pollution Control Act or a federal farm program, then the provisions of this Declaration
that run to the State or the LGU may also be enforced by the United States of America in a court of
competent jurisdiction.
10. This Declaration must be recorded and proof of recording submitted to the LGU or other
regulatory authority in order to be valid.
