-------- Minutes of the Arden Hills Regular Council Meeting, 12-26-89 Page 3 FINAL PLAT (Cont'd) 2. Section 4.3, Subd a., page 2: The document lists a requirement that a 70% maintenance bond be submitted on completed landscaping for a period of one year. Attorney Filla advised staff ~noted the past policy of the City has been to require a 100% maintenance bond on completed landscaping. The staff and Mr. Cook were of the opinion a 100% maintenance bond would not be necessary since the landscaping will not be accepted until approved by the Inspector and has been in place and growing; the consensus was that a bond in the amount of 70% would sufficiently cover the risks of replacement on the landscaping. 3. Section 4.3, Subd. b., page 2: There is no provision for a maintenance bond on the Emergency Access Road. In the declaration of easements the property owners have agreed to contribute toward the cost of maintaining the access road as required by the City of Arden Hills. In the future, 5 or 10 years from now, if the City deems maintenance is necessary on the access road, the current owners have agreed to pay for the costs thru this declaration of easements. 4. Section 4.4: Typographical error: Filla will insert correct language. 5. Exhibit A: Contains thirteen (13) attached sheets as part of the agreement. 6. Exhibit B: This is the Declaration of Easement. Filla noted Section 4, page 3, second paragraph: The owners of each of said Lots 1 thru 4 agree to pay 25% of the costs of the Emergency Vehicle Access Road maintenance, in addition to other items specified therein. In summary, Attorney Filla stated with the Development Agreement the applicant has satisfied the City regulations and procedures are in place to insure this ~project is constructed according to the City regulations with the appropriate security measures as the development proceeds. Filla stated Charles Cook has agreed to the terms of the contract as amended. He also noted the abstracts for this property have been submitted to the Title Insurance Company and a copy of the insurance binder will be submitted for review prior to the City officials executing the final plat and development agreement. Clerk Administrator Berger suggested the development contract form prepared for this PUD be prepared for similar types of development applications at the time of the Planning Commission review and recommendation to Council; it was his opinion this would expedite this type of application. Councilmember Malone questioned if the access road will be constructed according to the Engineer's recommendation and specification. Attorney Filla referred to Section 4.3, Subd. b., which indicates the access road will be constructed as required by the City Engineer prior to occupancy of any structures to be served by the road. Filla explained the sequencing of the development will be left to the developer, however, the access road or at least the portion to serve the building will be constructed prior to occupancy. The attorney also noted Section 4.1 requires construction of the improvements according to the plans and specifications attached; the plans and specifications for the access road have been approved by the City Engineer. Councilmember Malone discussed the proposed construction of the support between ~the floors of the buildings; questioned if truss work will be utilized. Charles Cook, applicant, advised the flooring above the garage areas will be a truss floor system and the other areas will be a floor joist dimensional lumber construction. -~
