Future Land Use Plan and will provide for day-time employment opportunities and market
support for surrounding businesses. The City has been careful in considering locations appropriate
for automobile oriented uses within this commercial area to provide for a balance of business types
and compatibility with existing and future land uses in the area. The proposed car wash use will
serve both local and regional patrons consistent with the intended land uses for this
commercial area consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.

Finding: The area within Great River Center bounded by 87th Street/Quaday Avenue/85th
Street/Parrish Avenue (CSAH 42) is designated as a Village Center where development is to
utilize elements of traditional neighborhood design in both site planning and architecture. The
existing uses to the north of the subject site that have developed abutting Parrish Avenue (CSAH

traffic generated by the proposed development.
5. The proposed use can be accommodated by existing public services and facilities and will not
overburden the City's service capacity.
Finding: The subject site is located within the East Sewer District established by the 2012
Otsego Comprehensive Plan. Sewer and water utilities are available at the subject site with
sufficient capacity to accommodate the proposed use. The City has the ability to provide all
other required municipal services to the subject site within the East Sewer District.

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.

cash escrow or Irrevocable Standby Letter of Credit with automatic renewal provisions in the amount as
required under this Contract. The security amount shall be one hundred twenty five (125) percent of the City
Engineer’s estimated cost of all public improvements and/or private improvements required by the
Subdivision Ordinance or Zoning Ordinance. The Developer shall provide an additional security equal to six
and one-half (6.5%) of the estimated cost of the required public and/or private improvements for use by the
City for the purpose of assuming responsibility for design, bidding, and construction administration of the
required improvement in the event of a default by the Developer as provided for by this contract.
The issuer and form of the security (other than cash escrow) shall be subject to City approval in its
reasonable discretion. The security shall be issued by a banking institution in good standing as determined
12
223682v4 Great River Centre of Otsego Seventh Addition
by the City and approved by the City Administrator. The City shall have the ability to draw on the security at
a bank or branch bank located within fifty (50) miles of the City Hall. The security shall contain an automatic
renewal provision and shall not expire until all the Development is complete and fully and finally accepted by
the City, and all terms of this Contract are satisfied.
The City may draw down the security, on five (5) business days written notice to the Developer, for
any violation of the terms of this Contract or without notice if the security is allowed to lapse prior to the end
of the required term. If the required public improvements are not completed at least thirty (30) days prior to
the expiration of the security, the City may also draw it down without notice. If the security is drawn down,
the proceeds shall be used to cure the default.
Upon receipt of proof satisfactory to the City that work has been completed and financial obligations
to the City have been satisfied, with City approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, the security
shall be reduced from time to time in proportion to the work completed, but not below ten (10) percent which
is the amount of the warranty security. For purposes of this Section, the warranty period shall be a twelve
(12) month period after the applicable work has been completed, except with respect to streets, for which
the warranty period shall be two years as addressed elsewhere in this Contract.
This security amount shall be submitted to the City prior to execution of the Contract. All
administrative and legal fees related to plan review, drafting of this Contract and any other necessary items
shall be paid to the City prior to execution of the Contract. Upon completion of the work contemplated
hereunder and expiration of the warranty period, the remaining security shall be promptly released to
