RE: Lakeville – Fulford Group 1st Addition/BTD Manufacturing
TPC FILE: 135.01
BACKGROUND
Fulford Group LLC is proposing a 192,575 square foot expansion for BTD
Manufacturing of the existing 301,600 square foot Fulford Group Warehouse Building
(formally known as the Toro Building) located at 21350 Cedar Avenue. BTD is
proposing the expansion of the building to allow them to consolidate their
manufacturing, warehouse and office operations at a single location. The proposed
development requires consideration of a Comprehensive Plan amendment, Zoning Map
amendment, and Preliminary Plat applications and site and building plan review. There
is also a request to vacate an existing drainage an utility easement within the subject
site. A public hearing has been noticed for the Planning Commission meeting on 6
November 2014 to consider the requests.

ANALYSIS
Comprehensive Plan. The 2008 Comprehensive Land Use Plan guides the existing
Fulford Group Warehouse building site for industrial uses reflecting the current use of
the property. The area to the east and north of the existing site, including the area of
the proposed expansion on Lot 1, Block 1 of the preliminary plat, is guided for
commercial land uses. This designation was approved as part of a rezoning request
initiated by the property owner from the previous designation of industrial, anticipating
the opportunity for expanded commercial development at the southeast quadrant of
Cedar Avenue (CSAH 23) and Lakeville Boulevard (CSAH 50) that was then
incorporated the 2030 Land Use Plan as a change. The proposed expansion of the
existing site and building is an opportunity to expand employment and tax base
consistent with the economic development goals of the Comprehensive Plan,
necessitating that the area of proposed Lot 1 to be added to the subject site be re-
guided for industrial uses. Outlot A is proposed to remain guided for commercial uses.
Zoning. The existing Fulford Group Warehouse building is zoned I-2, General
Industrial District. The I-2 District allows for manufacturing, warehouse and related
office operations as a permitted use. The area to be added to the subject site as part of
the preliminary plat is zoned C-2, Highway Commercial District consistent with the
current Comprehensive Plan designation for the site. Concurrent with the
Comprehensive Plan amendment, the applicant is requesting that the area of proposed
Lot 1 to be added to the subject site to accommodate the proposed BTD Manufacturing
expansion be rezoned to I-2 District. Outlot A is proposed to remain zoned C-3 District.
Section 11-3-3.E of the Zoning Ordinance states that the Planning Commission shall
consider possible effects of the proposed amendment. Its judgment shall be based
upon, but not limited to, the following factors:
1. The proposed action has been considered in relation to the specific policies and
provisions of and has been found to be consistent with the official city
comprehensive plan.
Comment: The proposed development is an opportunity to expand employment
and tax base consistent with the economic development goals of the 2008 Use
Comprehensive Land Use Plan.
2
2. The proposed use is or will be compatible with present and future land uses of
the area.
Comment: The proposed development will be compatible with existing and
future land uses surrounding the subject site based on the type of adjacent land
uses and site design measures to orient industrial site activity from adjacent
future commercial land uses and screening from public park uses to the south.
3. The proposed use conforms with all performance standards contained in this
code.
Comment: The proposed development will comply with applicable provisions of
the Zoning Ordinance, Subdivision Ordinance and City Code.
4. The proposed use can be accommodated with existing public services and will
not overburden the city's service capacity.
Comment: The subject site is within the current MUSA and there is adequate
public infrastructure and services available to accommodate the proposed
development.
5. Traffic generation by the proposed use is within capabilities of streets serving the
property.
Comment: The subject site has access to Cedar Avenue (CSAH 23) and
Lakeville Boulevard (CSAH 50), which have adequate capacity to accommodate
traffic generated by the proposed use.
MUSA. The subject site is within the current MUSA and sanitary sewer and water
utilities are available to the property to accommodate the proposed expansion of the
existing building for BTD Manufacturing.
Surrounding Land Uses. The subject site is surrounded by the planned and existing
land uses shown in the table below. The subject site would be adjacent to planned
commercial development to the north, but the orientation of the existing building and
proposed expansion is such that all site activity is directed away from the commercial
uses ensuring compatibility. The proposed development also abuts City owned
property to the south that includes a park and pool facility accessible from Cedar
Avenue and open space as part of the Lake Marion Greenway. The developer is
proposing improvements to the subject site as part of the BTD Manufacturing expansion
in terms of storm water management and landscaping that will improve the transition
between the subject site and the public open space to the south.

Lot Requirements. The table below indicates the minimum lot requirements and
setbacks applicable to the proposed lot to be platted with the preliminary plat to
accommodate the BTD Manufacturing expansion. The proposed preliminary plat and
site plan for Lot, 1, Block 1 complies with all applicable lot requirements except the
setback required from Cedar Avenue. The existing building currently complies with the
40 foot setback requirement, but the platting of the property as part of the proposed
expansion and dedication of additional right-of-way for Cedar Avenue required by
Dakota County reduces the front yard setback to 30 feet. Given that the location of the
building is an existing condition and the dedication of the right-of-way is a required
government action, there is no issue with approval of the preliminary plat and site and
building plans with only the 30 foot setback to Cedar Avenue.

Access. The existing site is accessed via a single driveway with full turning
movements to Cedar Avenue (CSAH 23), which will be maintained as part of the site
and building expansion for BTD Manufacturing. The existing driveway access to the
subject site does not meet Dakota County’s ¼ mile spacing requirement for full
intersections on Cedar Avenue and is likely to be restricted in the future. The
Transportation Plan anticipates future construction of a north-south minor collector
street along the east line of Outlot A, adjacent to property in the city of Farmington,
extending between CSAH 50 and CSAH 70. The timing for construction of this street is
not included on the City’s current five year Capital Improvement Plan and is unknown.
As an interim measure to disperse traffic from the subject site with the BTD
Manufacturing expansion, the applicant is proposing a second access to the subject site
from Lakeville Boulevard (CSAH 50) across Outlot A. There is an existing opening in
the median in Lakeville Boulevard (CSAH 50) in this location with dedicated left turn
lanes. The developer will construct an east bound right turn lane on Lakeville Boulevard
(CSAH 50) at the proposed access. A temporary ingress/egress easement will need to
be established over Outlot A allowing access to Lot 1, Block 1 from Lakeville Boulevard
(CSAH 50). The Dakota County Plat Commission approved the temporary access
location pending development of Outlot A or other triggers they will establish as part of
their permitting process for the temporary access permit. All access issues are subject
to further review and approval of the City Engineer.
Right-of-Way. Dakota County requires 75 feet of right-of-way for the east half of
Cedar Avenue (CSAH 23) and south half of Lakeville Boulevard (CSAH 50). Additional
4
right-of-way is shown on the preliminary plat for Cedar Avenue to comply with Dakota
County’s requirements. No additional right-of-way dedication is required for Lakeville
Boulevard. All right-of-way is subject to approval of the City Engineer.
Building Design. Exterior elevations have been submitted for the proposed building
expansion indicating a precast concrete “tee” panel consistent with the existing building
and having integral color for a majority of the building. The proposed office addition
utilizes more contemporary sandblast and exposed aggregate precast concrete panels
with a white integral color and more windows to visually highlight this section of the
building. The proposed exterior materials comply with the requirements of Section 11-
17-9.E of the Zoning Ordinance. The existing building will be painted white to match the
addition. Loading doors for the building expansion are located on the south side of the
building, consistent with the existing building, which aids in screening the view of the
loading area from Cedar Avenue or adjacent commercial properties. The height of the
existing and proposed building is 24 feet, which is within the 45 foot height allowance for
principal buildings within the I-2 District.
Landscaping. A landscape plan has been submitted for the area adjacent to the office
addition to the existing building as well as along the south lot line of the subject site
within the City owned property. The proposed landscaping along the proposed storm
water basins will provide for improved screening of the subject site from view of the City
owned property and future Lake Marion Greenway trail. These plantings should be
extended further west to the Park and Pool lot to provide a more complete visual buffer
of the existing and expanded subject site. City staff also recommends that the
landscape plan be expanded to include the front yard along Cedar Avenue to
incorporate low-growing shrubs to screen the off-street parking and loading areas from
view of the public right-of-way as required by Section 11-21-9.D.1 of the Zoning
Ordinance and comply with the Corridor and Gateway Design Study. The types of
plantings and plant sizes comply with the requirements of Section 11-21-9.C of the
Zoning Ordinance.
Off-street parking. Page A1-2 of the submitted plans details the calculation of required
parking stalls in accordance with Section 11-19-13 of the Zoning Ordinance for the
existing building and proposed expansion for office, production and warehouse use.
The uses within the existing building requires 389 parking stalls and the proposed
expansion requires 225 parking stalls for a total of 614 parking stalls required by
Section 11-19-13 of the Zoning Ordinance. The site plan for the existing site and
proposed expansion provides 599 parking stalls, plus 100 parking stalls shown as
deferred stalls for the existing building, and 22 semi-trailer parking stalls. Seven parking
stalls are identified as disability van accessible stalls in compliance with ADA standards.
A parking deferment agreement will be required with the final plat to include provisions
allowing the City to require construction of the deferred parking stalls if a need is
identified in the future in accordance with Section 11-19-7.J of the Zoning Ordinance.
The parking lot design provides 90 degree parking stalls with 9 foot by 20 foot
dimensions accessed by 24 foot wide drive aisles, which complies Section 11-19-7.I.1
of the Zoning Ordinance. The existing parking area is gravel surfaced and proposed to
remain as such. The expanded parking area will be paved with concrete curb and
5
gutter at the perimeter as required by Sections 11-19-7.I.12 and 15 of the Zoning
Ordinance.
Exterior Lighting. The applicant has provided details regarding exterior lighting
including fixture specifications and a photometric lighting plan. The photometric
lighting plan identifies the location of all of the proposed exterior light sources and the
illumination pattern that complies with the intensity limits established by Section 11-16-
17.A of the Zoning Ordinance to not more than one foot-candle measured at the
property lines. The fixtures will have a 90 degree horizontal cutoff and those mounted
on poles must be specified not to exceed 35 feet to comply with Section 11-16-17.B of
the Zoning Ordinance.
Signs. No plans regarding signs have been submitted. All signs to be installed at the
subject site must comply with Chapter 23 of the Zoning Ordinance and a sign permit is
required to be issued prior to construction.
Outlot A. The preliminary plat identifies Outlot A as a future development site to the
east of the subject site (Lot 1, Block 1). Outlot A will remain guided for commercial land
uses and zoned C-2 District, but consideration of an amendment to change the future
land use and zoning to industrial may be appropriate depending on market conditions at
the time of development.
Grading Plan. The applicant has submitted grading plans for the proposed site
including the existing building and proposed expansion. There are no on-site storm
water rate control or treatment facilities for the existing building, which was built in 1984
prior to requirements for storm water management, and the storm water from the
subject site runs off to the City property to the south. The proposed building expansion
is required to provide storm water management facilities to address water quality and
rate control. The grading, drainage and erosion control plan is subject to review and
approval by the City Engineer.
The submitted plans propose storm water basins for the existing site and proposed
expansion to be constructed at the southeast corner of the subject site as well as a
portion of the City owned property to the south. The storm water improvements are
designed and located so as not to effect environmental protection of South Creek or
future construction of the Lake Marion Greenway corridor trail. The proposed storm
water basins also will allow for future expansion of the Park and Pool lot on the City
property, consistent with Dakota County’s Implementation Plan for the Cedar Avenue
BRT corridor, and does not interfere with City access to its existing snow dump site
within the City owned property.
The City Council considered the use of the City property for the storm water basins at a
work session on 27 October 2014. The City Council strongly supported the proposed
storm water management plan as an opportunity to address the existing storm water
runoff from the site before it reaches South Creek, which is a protected trout stream,
and to accommodate the proposed expansion for BTD Manufacturing consistent with
the City’s economic development goals. Storm water management facilities for Outlot
6
A, as well as the undeveloped property to the north of the subject site owned by Airlake
Development, Inc., will need to provide for on-site storm water management facilities.
Utility Plan. The applicant has submitted plans for extension of public utilities to serve
the proposed expansion of the existing building to accommodate BTD Manufacturing.
These plans are subject to review and approval by the City Engineer.
Easements. The preliminary plat illustrates drainage and utility easements at the
perimeter of Lot 1, Block 1 as required by Section 10-4-4 of the Subdivision Ordinance.
There is an expanded drainage and utility easement at the southwest corner of Outlot A
to include the proposed storm water basins shown on the grading plan. The developer
is also requesting vacation of the existing 10 foot wide drainage and utility easement
that exists along the common property line between the existing lot and property to be
added to the subject site. This easement will be replaced by drainage and utility
easements at the perimeter of Lot 1, Block 1 and no longer serves a public purpose. All
easements are subject to review and approval by the City Engineer.
Park Dedication. The 2006 Parks, Trails and Open Space Plan identifies a park
search area surrounding the City owned parcel for the potential to expand the public
open space along the Lake Marion Greenway. Given the existing and proposed
industrial use of the subject site, acquisition of additional land on the north side of the
City property for park purposes is not desirable for land use compatibility reasons. As
such, City staff recommends that park dedication requirements for Lot 1, Block 1 be
satisfied as a cash fee in lieu of land. The existing Fulford Group building is located on
a platted lot that previously paid park dedication. As such, only the area of Lot 1, Block
1 to be added to the subject site is subject to the park dedication requirement at this
time. The cash fee in lieu of land required for the area of Lot 1, Block 1 to be added to
the subject site is to be based on the current fee schedule in effect at the time of final
plat approval.
CONCLUSION
The proposed site and building plans for BTD Manufacturing and the Fulford Group 1st
Addition preliminary plat further the City’s economic development goals established by
the Comprehensive Plan. City staff recommends approval of the Comprehensive Plan
amendment, Zoning Map amendment, preliminary plat, site and building plans and
easement vacation for the proposed development subject to the following conditions:
1. Documents establishing a temporary ingress/egress easement over Outlot A
allowing access to Lot, 1, Block 1 from Lakeville Boulevard (CSAH 50) shall be
recorded with approval of a final plat.
2. All right-of-way and access issues are subject to review and approval by the City
Engineer and Dakota County.
7
3. The landscape plan shall be revised to provide plantings required by Section 11-
21-9.D.1 of the Zoning Ordinance and the Corridor and Gateway Design Study in
the front yard abutting Cedar Avenue and to extend the plantings along the south
line of the subject site west to the Park/Pool lot, subject to review and approval of
City staff.
4. A parking deferment agreement will be required with the final plat to include
provisions allowing the City to require construction of the deferred parking stalls if
a need is identified in the future in accordance with Section 11-19-7.J of the
Zoning Ordinance.
5. Pole mounted exterior light fixtures shall not exceed 35 feet in height in
compliance with Section 11-16-17.B of the Zoning Ordinance.
6. All signs shall comply with Chapter 23 of the Zoning Ordinance, including
issuance of a sign permit prior to location of any sign upon the property.
7. All grading, drainage and erosion control issues are subject to review and
approval of the City Engineer.
8. All utility issues are subject to review and approval of the City Engineer.
9. All easements are subject to review and approval of the City Engineer.
10. Park dedication requirements applicable to the area of Lot 1, Block 1 to be added
to the subject site shall be satisfied as a cash fee in lieu of land in accordance
with the current fee schedule in effect at the time of final plat approval.

Fulford Group, LLC has submitted a preliminary plat named Fulford Group 1st Addition. The
subdivision is located east of and adjacent to Cedar Avenue (CSAH 23) and south of and
adjacent to Lakeville Boulevard (CSAH 50). The parent parcels consist of Lot 1, Block 1, Toro
Airlake Industrial Park Second Addition (PID No. 22-77001-01-013) and a metes and bounds
parcel (PID No. 22-03400-26-016). The parent parcels are zoned I-2, General Industrial District
and C-2, Highway Commercial District respectively.
The preliminary plat consists of one (1) lot and one (1) outlot on 40.77 acres. The outlot
created as shown on the preliminary plat, will have the following use:

The proposed development will be completed by:

Engineer/Surveyor: Jacobson Engineers and Surveyors
SSIITTEE CCOONNDDIITTIIOONNSS
The Fulford Group 1st Addition site consists of an existing warehouse on 18.07 acres of
developed land and 22.70 acres of undeveloped land. The undeveloped land is currently
used for agricultural purposes. The land generally slopes downward from west to east with
moderate slopes.

Lakeville Boulevard (CSAH 50)
Fulford Group 1st Addition is located south of and adjacent to Lakeville Boulevard, a minor
arterial roadway as identified in the City’s Transportation Plan. Lakeville Boulevard is under
the jurisdiction of Dakota County, and is currently constructed as a divided urban roadway
adjacent to the plat. The Dakota County Plat Commission reviewed the preliminary plat at
their September 22, 2014 meeting, and recommended approval. The Developer shall be
responsible to comply with all of the requirements as stipulated by Dakota County.
Cedar Avenue (CSAH 23)
Fulford Group 1st Addition is located east of and adjacent to Cedar Avenue, a minor arterial
roadway as identified in the City’s Transportation Plan. Cedar Avenue is under the jurisdiction
of Dakota County, and is currently constructed as a four-lane divided roadway adjacent to the
plat. The existing access along Cedar Avenue to the site is a full access intersection, and is not
proposed to be altered with the development. Dakota County has agreed to allow the
existing access to remain a full access at this time; however, this access will need to be
restricted in the future, due to the County’s access spacing requirements.
Private Drive
Development of Fulford Group 1st Addition includes the construction of a private drive across
Outlot A. The private drive is designed as a 24-foot wide, paved rural section roadway. The
private drive will provide a temporary connection between Lot 1, Block 1, Fulford Group 1st
Addition and Lakeville Boulevard at the existing median opening location. Dakota County
has agreed to allow this temporary access until Outlot A is redeveloped or other stipulations
that will be described through the permitting process for the temporary access permit. The
future full access will be located at the eastern boundary of the proposed Outlot A.
Future Minor Collector
The City’s Transportation Plan identifies a future minor collector roadway to be constructed
along the east property line of Outlot A. The future development of Outlot A will require the

construction of this minor collector roadway to commercial/industrial standards. This
roadway construction will then require the relocation of the access to Lakeville Boulevard east
of the proposed private drive intersection location. The Developer shall be required to
construct the necessary improvements to Lakeville Boulevard to accommodate this access
relocation, as stipulated by Dakota County.
CCOONNSSTTRRUUCCTTIIOONN AACCCCEESSSS
Construction access and egress for grading, public and private utility installation and street
construction will be from a single entrance off of Cedar Avenue.

The Park Dedication requirement has been collected on one of the parent parcels (PID No. 22-
77001-01-013). The other parcel (PID No. 22-03400-26-016) has not been assessed the Park
Dedication Fee and will pay the difference between the area of Lot 1, Block1 Fulford Group 1st
Addition and Lot 1, Block 1 Toro Airlake Industrial Park 2nd Addition. The Park Dedication Fee
shall be paid with the final plat at the current rate in effect at the time of final plat approval.
The Park Dedication Fee for Outlot A will be collected at the time that it develops.
The City’s Parks, Trail and Open Space Plan designates the City owned parcel south of and
adjacent to Fulford Group 1st Addition to be the future location of the Lake Marion Greenway
Corridor.

SSAANNIITTAARRYY SSEEWWEERR::
Fulford Group 1st Addition is located within subdistrict SC-10000 of the South Creek sanitary
sewer district as identified in the City’s Sanitary Sewer Plan. Wastewater will be conveyed via
existing public sanitary sewer to the MCES Lakeville/Farmington Interceptor and continue to
the Empire Wastewater Treatment Facility. The existing City-owned downstream facilities
have sufficient capacity to serve the industrial development.
Development of Fulford Group 1st Addition includes public and private sanitary sewer
construction. 8-inch sanitary sewer will be extended from an existing Met-Council 42-inch trunk
sanitary sewer and across a City owned parcel to serve Lot 1, Block 1 and Outlot A. This work will
require the jacking of approximately 170-feet of sewer under South Creek. The sanitary sewer
improvements constructed within the plat boundary shall be considered private and those
improvements constructed within the City owned parcel shall be considered public. The
Developer is requesting to construct the public sanitary sewer prior to final plat approval so that
the office expansion and warehouse repurposing can be constructed and hooked up to utilities
by February, 2015. A Site Improvement Performance Agreement (SIPA) describing the conditions
and security of the work will be required prior to any work commencing.

The Sanitary Sewer Availability Charge was previously assessed to one of the parent parcels
(PID 22-77001-01-013), and has been paid. The Sanitary Sewer Availability Charge has not
been paid and is required for the second parent parcel (PID 22-03400-26-016) and shall be
paid with the final plat. The Sanitary Sewer Availability Charge will be based on the rates in
effect at the time of final plat approval.
WWAATTEERRMMAAIINN::
Development of Fulford Group 1st Addition includes public and private watermain
construction. 12-inch watermain will be extended within the plat from an existing stub that
serves the existing building. The watermain will be extended along the south, east and north
sides of the proposed addition and connect to an existing 8-inch watermain near the
northeast corner of the existing building to complete the loop. A 12-inch watermain stub will
be provided for future service to Outlot A. The watermain along the south side of the building
will be public and be centered in a public drainage and utility easement for future service to
adjacent properties. The watermain along the east and north sides of the building will be
private.
OOVVEERRHHEEAADD LLIINNEESS
Consistent with the City’s Right-of-Way Management Ordinance, all existing permanent utility
lines adjacent to the Fulford Group 1st Addition plat along the east side of Cedar Avenue shall
be placed underground and the utility poles removed. The Developer shall be responsible for
this work and a security shall be submitted at the time of final plat to ensure that the
overhead utility lines are placed underground and poles are removed.

The preliminary plat of Fulford Group 1st Addition lies within Subdistrict SC-11 of the South
Creek District of the City’s Water Resources Management Plan.
Development of Fulford Group 1st Addition includes the construction of stormwater
management basins to collect and treat the stormwater runoff generated from the site. The
stormwater management basins will provide water quality treatment, skimming and rate
control of the stormwater runoff generated within the Fulford Group 1st Addition plat. The
infiltration/filtration basin is designed to filtrate 1-½ inches of runoff from all newly created and
existing impervious surface areas within 72 hours, therefore reducing the thermal impacts of the
impervious surfaces. The infiltration/filtration basin is consistent with the requirements of the
City’s South Creek Management Plan.
The final stormwater management basin designs shall be submitted with the final plat and
subject to review by the City and the Vermillion River Watershed District.
The basins will be located partially within the City owned parcel immediately to the south of the
plat. The City has agreed to allow the developer to construct the basins on City owned property.

The existing building does not have an existing stormwater management system, and due to the
proximity to South Creek, the benefit of treating the existing impervious areas is justification to
allow the Developer to construct the basins on City owned property. Maintenance for the basins
will be provided by the City and funded 100% by the Developer through conditions established
in a maintenance agreement with the final plat.
Stormwater management requirements for Outlot A will be designed and constructed entirely
outside of City owned property at the time Outlot A develops.
The final grading plan must identify all fill lots in which the building footings will be placed on
fill material. The grading specifications must indicate that all embankments meet FHA/HUD
79G specifications. The Developer shall certify to the City that all lots with building footings
placed on fill material are appropriately constructed. Building permits will not be issued until
a soils report and an as-built certified grading plan, have been submitted and approved by
City staff.
A National Pollution Discharge Elimination System General Stormwater Permit for
construction activity is required from the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency for areas
exceeding one acre being disturbed by grading. A copy of the Notice of Stormwater Permit
Coverage must be submitted to the City upon receipt from the MPCA.

Development of Fulford Group 1st Addition includes private storm sewer construction. Storm
sewer will be installed to collect and convey stormwater runoff generated from within the site
to the stormwater management basins constructed with Fulford Group 1st Addition.
The Trunk Storm Sewer Area Charge has been collected on one of the parent parcels (PID No.
22-77001-01-013). The other parcel (PID No. 22-03400-26-016) has not been assessed the
Trunk Storm Sewer Area Charge and will pay the difference between the area of Lot 1, Block1,
Fulford Group 1st Addition and Lot 1, Block, 1 Toro Airlake Industrial Park 2nd Addition. The
Trunk Storm Sewer Area Charge shall be paid with the final plat at the current rate in effect at
the time of final plat approval. The Trunk Storm Sewer Area Charge for Outlot A will be
collected at the time that it develops.

There are no wetlands on site. A wetland delineation was completed on the city property and
was approved. No wetland impacts are proposed with the improvements.

There are no significant trees on site. The significant trees located on the City’s property must
be located with the final plat. Grading and basin construction on the City’s property has been
designed to minimize tree loss. Trees will be planted within the infiltration/filtration basin
and around the stormwater basin to provide shading and screening. A final landscape plan
will be review by the City and Vermillion River Watershed District prior to final plat.

An erosion control plan/ SWPPP must be completed and approved prior to start of any work
on the site. The developer is responsible for restoring all disturbed areas within the City’s
property. All disturbed areas on City property will be restored with native seed and
tree/shrub plantings. The developer is responsible for all costs of maintaining and
established the restored areas for two full growing seasons or until established.
Additional erosion control measures may be required during construction as deemed
necessary by City staff or the Vermillion River Watershed District. Additional measures shall
be installed and maintained by the developer.
