Width and Location. Necessary easements of appropriate width for utilities (including extension of main water and sewer lines) shall be provided (and shown on the plat), preferably along lot lines or as necessary across lots. 2. Continuous Utility Easement Locations. Utility easements shall connect with easements established in adjoining properties. These easements, when approved, shall not thereafter be changed without the approval of the City Council. 3. Guy Wires. Additional easements for pole guys should be provided, where appropriate, at the outside of turns. Where possible, lot lines shall be arranged to bisect the existing angle so that pole guys will fall along-side lot lines. 5. Erosion and Sediment Control. 1. The development of this subdivision shall conform to the natural limitation presented by topography and soil so as to create the least potential for soil erosion. 2. Erosion and siltation control measures shall be coordinated with the different stages of construction. Appropriate control measures shall be installed prior to and maintained throughout development when necessary to control erosion. 3. Land shall be developed in increments of workable size such that adequate erosion and siltation controls can be provided as construction progresses. The smallest practical area of land shall be exposed at any one (1) period of time. 4. When soil is exposed, the exposure shall be for the shortest feasible period of time, as specified in the development agreement. 5. Where the topsoil is removed, sufficient arable soil shall be set aside for re-spreading over the developed area. Topsoil shall be restored or provided to a depth of four (4) inches and shall be of a quality at least equal to the soil quality prior to development. 6. Natural vegetation shall be protected wherever practical. 7. Run-off water shall be diverted to a sediment basin before being allowed to enter the natural drainage system. 8. The erosion and sediment control plan shall be subject to review and approval of the applicable Watershed District and the City Engineer. The City may request a report from the Ramsey Soil and Water Conservation District regarding soil erosion control measures. The City may require a soil erosion cash deposit to guarantee erosion control measures are taken.
