the proposed plat for MISKE MEADOWS (referred to in this permit as the "Plat"). The land
(“Land”) is legally described on Exhibit A attached hereto.
2. Conditions of Approval. The City hereby approves the Permit on condition that the
Developer abide by its terms, the following conditions, and furnish the security required by it. The
approval of this Permit does not require the City to approve the proposed Plat.
A. Provide written permission from adjacent property owners for any and all
work completed outside of property owned and controlled by Developer
B. Staff approval of updated grading, erosion control, and all other required
plans.
C. Approval of the grading permit does not constitute approval of lot
configuration, size, alignment, or location.
3. Plans. The proposed Plat shall be graded in accordance with the following plans.
The plans shall not be attached to this Permit. If the plans vary from the written terms of this
Permit, the written terms shall control. The plans are:
Plan A –Soil Erosion Control Plan and Schedule dated the day of April, 2018,

4. Time of Performance. The Developer shall complete the grading and erosion
control in the Plats by November 30, 2019. The Developer may, however, request an extension of
time from the City. If an extension is granted, it shall be conditioned upon updating the security
posted by the Developer to reflect cost increases and the extended completion date.
5. Erosion Control. Plan A 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 excavation and backfilling operations shall be reseeded
forthwith after the completion of the work in that area. Except as otherwise provided in Plan A,
seed shall be rye grass or other fast-growing seed suitable to the existing soil to provide a temporary
ground cover as rapidly as possible. All seeded areas shall be 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 Plan A 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 thirty (30) days, the City may
draw down the Letter of Credit to pay any costs. No other development will be allowed and no
building permits will be issued unless the Land is in full compliance with the erosion control
requirements and the Developer has received official approval of the Plat and has executed all
agreements reasonably required by the City.
6. Grading Plan. The proposed Plat shall be graded in accordance with Plan B. All
ponds, swales, and ditches shall be constructed on public easements or land owned by the City.

constructed" grading plan and a certification by a registered land surveyor or engineer that all ponds,
swales, and ditches have been constructed on public easements or land owned by the City.

for $50,000. The bank and form of the letter of credit shall be subject to the approval of the City.

9. Responsibility for Costs.

incurred by it or the City in conjunction with the grading and erosion control,
including but not limited to legal, planning, engineering and inspection expenses
incurred in connection with approval and acceptance of the permit, the preparation

10. Developer's Default. In the event of default by the Developer as to any of the work
to be performed by it hereunder, the City may, at its option, perform the work and the Developer
shall promptly reimburse the City for any expense incurred by the City, provided the Developer is
first given notice of the work in default, not less than 48 hours in advance. This Permit is a license
for the City to act, and it shall not be necessary for the City to seek a court order for permission to
enter the Land. When the City does any such work, the City may, in addition to its other remedies,
assess the cost in whole or in part against the Land.
11. Insurance. Developer shall take out and maintain or cause to be taken out and
maintained until six (6) months after the City has accepted the public improvements, public liability
and property damage insurance covering personal injury, including death, and claims for property
damage which may arise out of Developer's work or the work of its subcontractors or by one

than $1,000,000 for one person and $2,000,000 for each occurrence; limits for property damage shall
be not less than $1,000,000 for each occurrence. The City shall be named as an additional insured on
