AGENDA ITEM DETAILS
RECOMMENDATION:
City staff recommends vacating existing drainage and utility easements, approval of a PUD Development
Stage Plan amendment and preliminary/final plat for Riverbend North Second Addition; and approval of a
development contract and TIF agreement addendum.
ARE YOU SEEKING APPROVAL OF A CONTRACT? IS A PUBLIC HEARING REQUIRED?
Yes
Yes, held by Planning Commission 6 December 2021.
BACKGROUND/JUSTIFICATION:
Background. The River’s Edge Apartments, located at 7701 River Road, was approved by the City Council
on 23 July 2018. The proposed development includes 164 apartment dwelling units to be constructed in
two phases. The initial phase of 97 units has been completed and occupied and the property owner,
Otsego Apartments, LLC, is proceeding with construction of Phase 2 consisting of 67 units. The property
owner is pursing financing for Phase 2 that is separate from Phase 1 and necessitates subdivision of the lot
with the building into two unit lots. The proposed subdivision of Lot 1, Block 1, Riverbend North into two
unit lots requires consideration of a PUD Development Stage Plan amendment and a preliminary/final plat,
and vacation of existing drainage and utility easements.
Zoning. The subject site is zoned PUD, Planned Unit Development District in accordance with the
ordinance approved on 22 September 2014. The Riverbend North PUD District was amended on 23 July
2018 to include changes to allowed uses coinciding with a revised PUD Development Stage Plan that
provided for development of 164 multiple family dwelling units within Lot 1, Block 1. The 2018 PUD
Development Stage Plan approval contemplated development of the 164 dwelling units within a single
structure upon a single lot.
The property owner is proposing to subdivide Lot 1, Block 1 into two lots with Phases 1 and 2 of the 164
unit multiple family building as a single structure constructed over a common lot line. The subdivision of
the subject site into two unit lots with a single building overlying the common lot line requires
consideration of a PUD Development Stage Plan amendment based upon, but not limited to, the criteria
established by Section 11-3-2.F of the Zoning Ordinance:
1. The proposed action's consistency with the specific policies and provisions of the Otsego
Comprehensive Plan.
Comment: The 2012 Comprehensive Plan guides the subject site for commercial land uses. The
2018 Multiple Family Housing Study recognized that the approval of the Riverbend North PUD
District in 2014 and PUD Development Stage Plan approved in 2018 allowed for mixed use
development, including an apartment use, of the subject site. The proposed subdivision of the
subject site into two unit lots is consistent with the recommendations of the 2018 Multiple Housing
Study for development of 164 multiple family dwelling units upon the subject site.
2. The proposed use's compatibility with present and future land uses of the area.
Comment: The following table outlines uses surrounding the subject site. The proposed PUD
Development Stage Plan amendment does not alter the relationship of the development of the
subject site with surrounding uses in terms of maintaining compatibility.
Direction Land Use Plan Zoning Map Existing Use
North Agriculture A-1 District/WS District CSAH 42
Undeveloped
East LD Residential PUD District Undeveloped
Self-storage
South LD/MD Residential R-3 District Manufactured Home Park
West Commercial R-3 District TH 101/Undeveloped
3. The proposed use's conformity with all performance standards contained within the Zoning
Ordinance and other provisions of the City Code.
Comment: The construction of Phase 2 will comply with the provisions of the Zoning Ordinance,
Riverbend North PUD District, and approved PUD Development Stage Plan.
4. Traffic generation of the proposed use in relation to capabilities of streets serving the property.
Comment: The proposed construction of Phase 2 will not change traffic generation for the proposed
development above that contemplated by the approved PUD Development Stage Plan.
5. The proposed use can be accommodated by existing public services and facilities and will not
overburden the City's service capacity.
Comment: The proposed construction of Phase 2 will not increase the service needs for the
development above that approved with the PUD Development Stage Plan.
Building. The PUD Development Stage Plan approval includes plans for the building design and exterior
finish. No changes have been proposed to the approved building exterior plans for Phase 2. The
construction of Phase 2 across the interior lot line of the unit lots will require modification of the interior
building plans to address common wall related requirements of the building code. All building code issues
are to be subject to review and approval of the Building Official.
Lot Requirements. The subject site is 7.62 acres in area. The PUD Development Stage Plan for the subject
site allowed for 164 units at 2,023 square feet of lot area per dwelling unit. The PUD Development Stage
Plan also allowed for 15.3 percent building coverage and 61 percent floor area ratio for the approved
building and subject site. The proposed subdivision of the subject site into two unit lots will not alter the
lot area per unit, building coverage, or floor area ratio from the approved PUD Development Stage Plan.
Setbacks. The PUD Development Stage Plan includes approval of a site plan establishing setbacks for the
principal building, detached garage structures, and off-street parking areas at the perimeter of the PUD
District and from lot lines interior to the Riverbend North plat. The proposed subdivision of the subject site
into two unit lots will not alter the setbacks established with the approved site plan.
Easements. Section 10-8-12 of the Subdivision Ordinance requires dedication of drainage and utility
easements at the perimeter of all lots. The subdivision of the subject site into two unit lots will establish a
common lot line between the two unit lots. No drainage and utility easement is to be dedicated over this
common lot line as it is intended that the two phases of the principal building will be connected over the
common lot line as a single structure.
Utilities. The utility plan approved for the proposed development provides for a single connection to City
sewer and water utilities for the entire property. Subdivision of the subject site into two unit lots is
proposed to continue to utilize one connection to City utilities. Utility Availability Charges for 3.13 acres of
the subject site were deferred by the development contract until Phase 2 was initiated by the developer.
The Utility Availability Charges owed for Phase 2 are outlined in the development contract drafted by the
City Attorney.
Stormwater. Grading, drainage, and erosion control plans were approved with the initial development
applications for the subject site. The proposed subdivision of the subject site into two unit lots will not
affect implementation of those plans. Erosion control and any site grading during construction of Phase 2
will be handled through the Department of Building Safety. There is no Stormwater Impact Fee for the
subject site.
Park Dedication. The proposed subdivision will not result in an increase in the number of dwelling units
approved for the development. As such, there is no park dedication requirement for the proposed
subdivision in accordance with Section 10-8-15.N of the Subdivision Ordinance. The development
agreement for the subject site provided that payment of park dedication fees for Phase 2 was to be
deferred until a building permit is applied, which is restated in the development contract drafted by the
City Attorney for the proposed final plat.
Owner Agreement. The separation of Phases 1 and 2 onto separate unit lots for financing purposes
creates a situation where ownership of the phases could be separated. This situation necessitates
establishment of an agreement binding the owner(s) of Phases 1 and 2 to common areas of ownership,
access, and maintenance of the building and properties. The developer will be required to provide an
agreement in form to be subject to review and approval by the City Attorney and then recorded with the
properties concurrent with the recording of the final plat.
Development Contract. There are no additional public improvements to be constructed as a result of the
subdivision of the property into two unit lots. The City Attorney has drafted a development contract
regarding the proposed final plat to bring forward the requirements of the initial final plat approval and
conditions.
TIF Addendum. The developer and the City entered into an agreement related to a Tax Increment Finance
District for the apartment building and mini-storage lots within Riverbend North. As the proposed final plat
affects one of the lots addressed by this agreement, the City’s TIF counsel has drafted an addendum
agreement acknowledging the subdivision of the apartment lot and binding it to the initial TIF agreement.
This agreement addendum is to be approved by the City Council by resolution.
Recording. Section 10-5-3.B.8 of the Subdivision Ordinance requires that final plats be recorded within 100
days of approval by the City Council.
Public Hearing. Developer Casey Darkenwald was present as the applicant and agreed with the
recommendations of City staff. There were no public comments. The Planning Commission had no
concerns with the request. The Planning Commission closed the public hearing and voted 7-0 to
recommend the City Council approve the applications. A public hearing to consider the application was
held by the Planning Commission on 6 December 2021.

DEVELOPMENT CONTRACT
(Developer Installed Improvements)
RIVERBEND NORTH SECOND ADDITION
CONTRACT dated ____________________, 2022, by and between the CITY OF OTSEGO, a
Minnesota municipal corporation (“City”), and OTSEGO APARTMENTS, LLC, a Minnesota limited
liability company (the “Developer”).
1. REQUEST FOR PLAT APPROVAL. The Developer has asked the City to approve a plat
for RIVERBEND NORTH SECOND ADDITION (referred to in this Contract as the "plat"). The land is
situated in the County of Wright, State of Minnesota, and is legally described as:
Lot 1, Block 1, Riverbend North Addition, Wright County, Minnesota, according to the
recorded plat thereof.
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 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
219911v5 Riverbend North Second Addition
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. 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
3
219911v5 Riverbend North Second Addition
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:

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
4
219911v5 Riverbend North Second Addition
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.
9. 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 25% ownership interest or in which they are an officer or director may not
act as contractors or subcontractors for the public improvements identified in Paragraph 8 above.
10. PERMITS. The Developer shall obtain or require its contractors and subcontractors to
obtain all necessary permits, which may include:

219911v5 Riverbend North Second Addition
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 October 31, 2022.
13. 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.
14. 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
6
219911v5 Riverbend North Second Addition
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.
15. 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
“conservation area” posts; and c) lot corner elevations and house pads, and all other items listed i n 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
7
219911v5 Riverbend North Second Addition
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.
16. CLEAN UP. The Developer shall clean dirt and debris from streets that has resulted from
construction work by the Developer, home builders, subcontractors, their agents or assigns. Prior to any
construction in the plat, the Developer shall identify in writing a responsible party and schedule for erosion
control, street cleaning, and street sweeping.
17. OWNERSHIP OF IMPROVEMENTS. Upon completion of the work and construction
required by this Contract and final acceptance by the City, the improvements lying within public easements
shall become City property without further notice or action.
18. LATERAL AND TRUNK SANITARY SEWER. The Developer shall pay to the City the
required water availability charges and sanitary sewer availability charges. The water and sewer
availability charges shall be collected according to Section 8-1-6-B of City Code including 9.0 RECs per
gross acre for multiple family uses and 3.5 RECs per gross acre for commercial, industrial, or institutional
uses.
The Developer shall pay a cash fee in the amount of $81,270.45 for the Sewer Availability Charge
(“SAC”) at the time a building permit is issued which is calculated as follows:
9.0du/ac. X 3.13ac. X $2,885.00 = $81,270.45
8
219911v5 Riverbend North Second Addition
19. TRUNK WATERMAIN. The Developer shall pay a cash fee in the amount of $56,734.38
for the Water Availability Charge (“WAC”) at the time a building permit is issued which is calculated as
follows:
9.0du/ac. X 3.13ac. X $2,014.00 = $56,734.38
20. SEWER CONNECTION CHARGE AND WATER CONNECTION CHARGE. The
Developer shall pay to the City required water and sewer connection charges. The water and sewer
connection charges shall be collected per Section 8-1-6-C of City Code for all uses and must be paid prior
to the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy based on the fee schedule in effect at the time of application
for the Certificate of Occupancy.
21. CONSTRUCTION ACCESS. Construction traffic access and egress for grading, public
utility construction, and public street construction is restricted to access the subdivision as approved by the
City Engineer.
22. PARK DEDICATION. The Developer shall pay a cash contribution of $271,819.00 in
satisfaction of the City’s park dedication requirements. The charge is calculated as follows:
67 units X $4,057.00 per unit = $271,819.00
23. LANDSCAPING. Before a building permit is issued, a cash escrow per each lot in the
plat shall be furnished the City in accordance with the City’s current fee schedule to guarantee
compliance with the approved landscaping plan requirements. If the landscaping is not completed in a
timely manner, the City may enter the lot, perform the work, and apply the cash escrow toward the cost.
Upon satisfactory completion of the landscaping 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. All trees shall be
warranted to be alive, of good quality, and disease free for twelve (12) months after planting. Any
replacements shall be warranted for twelve (12) months from the time of planting. The Developer or
property owner is responsible for contacting the City when all the landscaping has been installed to set
up an inspection. Fifty percent (50%) of the security will be released when all the landscaping has been
9
219911v5 Riverbend North Second Addition
installed and inspected by City staff and the remaining fifty percent (50%) will be released one year after
