MORGAN SQUARE THIRD ADDITION FINAL PLAT
JUNE 1, 2015 CITY COUNCIL MEETING
Proposed Action
Staff recommends adoption of the following motion: Move to approve: 1) a resolution approving the final
plat of Morgan Square Third Addition, and 2) a stormwater management and easement agreement.
Adoption of this motion will allow the development of 36 rental townhome units seven buildings on 6.73
acres.
Overview
The Dakota County Community Development Agency (CDA) has submitted an application and plans
for the final plat of Morgan Square Third Addition. The plans also identify the project name as
Keystone Crossing Townhomes. The property is located south of 205th Street and west of the Lakeville
Family Theatre. The preliminary plat and amendment to the Morgan Square Planned Unit
Development (PUD) was approved by the City Council on November 2, 2009. Extensions to the
preliminary plat were approved by the City Council periodically since the preliminary plat was
approved, most recently on November 5, 2012 when the preliminary plat was extended until
November 2, 2015. The final plat includes two lots and blocks and road right-of-way for Keystone
Avenue and 207th Street, consistent with the approved preliminary plat.
Staff recommends approval of the Morgan Square Third Addition final plat.
Primary Issues to Consider
When will Keystone Avenue be extended to connect to the extension of 207th Street? Keystone Avenue
will be constructed to connect with the future extension of 207th Street when Outlot F, Morgan Square is
developed south of the proposed Morgan Squared Third Addition final plat.

breach has not been remedied. Development of subsequent phases may not proceed until Development
Contracts for such phases are approved by the City. Park dedication charges referred to in this Contract are
not being imposed on outlots, if any, in the plat that are designated in an approved preliminary plat for future
subdivision into lots and blocks. Such charges will be calculated and imposed when the outlots are final
platted into lots and blocks.
5. PRELIMINARY PLAT STATUS. If the plat is a phase of a multi-phased preliminary plat, the
preliminary plat approval for all phases not final platted shall lapse and be void unless final platted into lots

ALTERNATE SECURITY AGREEMENT
_________________, 2____
City of Lakeville
20195 Holyoke Avenue
Lakeville, Minnesota 55044
Attention: City Administrator
RE: Alternate Security Agreement
Plat Name:
Gentlemen:
______________________________ ("Developer") is developing real property within the corporate
boundaries of Lakeville (the "City") which is being platted as ____________________________ (the
"Subdivision"). The Developer has entered into a Development Contract with the City dated
________________________, as amended (the "Development Contract"). The Development Contract
requires the Developer to complete certain improvements and other work in the Subdivision in a particular
manner and within a particular time.
The Development Contract requires that the Developer provide to the City certain security to assure
the City that the Developer will comply with the Development Contract and that the Subdivision improvements
and other required work will be installed and paid for by the Developer as and when required by the
Development Contract. The Developer desires to provide to the City alternative security in the form of this
letter agreement and the City is willing to accept this letter agreement as alternative security. The
______________________________________ ("Bank") irrevocably pledges to fund and disburse
$_______________ in accordance with the Disbursement Agreement dated _______________, 2_____, a
copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit "A".
Any bankruptcy, insolvency, other financial difficulty of the Developer, or default by the Developer
under any agreements entered into between the Bank and the Developer shall not affect the Bank's
irrevocable obligations to disburse funds pursuant to this agreement and pursuant to the aforementioned
Disbursement Agreement. Neither the Bank nor the Developer may take any action, such as but not limited to
amending or terminating the Bank's loan agreement or the Disbursement Agreement, that could impair the
City's ability to draw down funds pledged to payment of the cost of the Subdivision improvements and to
performance of the Development Contract. The Bank agrees to honor this covenant under all circumstances.
Sincerely,

_________________, 2_____
RE: Disbursement Agreement
Plat Name:
Gentlemen:
This letter addresses the operating procedures under which the City of Lakeville (herein "City") will
authorize disbursement of funds pursuant to the letter agreement dated _______________, 2_____, between
_________________________________ ("Lender"), the City, and
______________________________________ (hereinafter "Developer") for the above-referenced
development.
1. Certification of Work. __________________________ (the "Private Engineer") shall certify on
behalf of the City the progress of construction of the Subdivision improvements at the completion of each
stage of construction. Each certification shall set forth the quality of workmanship, stage of construction
according to the plans and specifications, the dollar amount of work completed to the date of certification, and
the dollar amount of disbursement necessary to pay for the most recently certified work.
2. Delivery of Certification; Approval by City. The Private Engineer shall mail by certified mail,
postage prepaid, return receipt requested, or hand deliver, each certification contemporaneously to the
Lender, the Developer, and the City. The City may perform its own independent inspection of the Subdivision
improvements and give contemporaneous written approval or rejection to Lender and the Developer
regarding any item in the most recently received certification. The City will make its best effort to reply within
ten (10) working days after the postmark date or date of acknowledgment of hand delivery of such
certification.
3. Disbursement and Retainage. If the City approves the certification, the Lender may rely upon the
certification and may disburse no more than ninety percent (90%) of the sums certified by the Private
Engineer. Ten percent (10%) of all certified sums (the "Retainage") shall be retained until the final inspection
by the City. The Retainage shall be disbursed 91 days after the City completes its final inspection and
approves of the Subdivision improvements. If the City objects to any item in a certification, the Lender shall
not disburse any funds relating to that item until the City has given its written consent.
4. Suspension and Termination of Private Inspections. The City may terminate or suspend the
right of the Private Engineer to certify work. The City may exercise this suspension or termination right by
giving contemporaneous written notice to the Developer and the Lender by personal delivery or by mailing
such notice by certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested. Any such suspension or termination
shall be prospective only, effective only upon receipt of notice by all parties to whom notice must be given,
and shall not affect any certification issued by the Private Engineer prior to such suspension or termination. If
the City does suspend or terminate the Private Engineer's certification rights, the City shall, upon periodic
requests by the Developer, promptly make inspections of the Subdivision and certify to the Lender that the
work completed and the amount to be disbursed is acceptable to the City. Notwithstanding any provision of
26
181702v2 Morgan Square Third Addition
this paragraph, the City may independently inspect and certify any work on the Subdivision prior to any
payment for such work pursuant to this Agreement.
5. Final Inspection. Pursuant to the Development Contract, the City Engineer of the City shall make
a final inspection of the Subdivision. The Private Engineer shall have absolutely no right to act on the City's
behalf in making this final inspection. The City Engineer may object to any construction defects discovered
during the final inspection regardless of when they occurred. The City's failure to object to any earlier
certification by the Private Engineer shall not be deemed a waiver of the City's right to demand the correction
of defective work discovered during the final inspection.
6. Default. If the Developer defaults upon its obligations under the Development Contract and does
not diligently proceed to cure the default within ten (10) days after the City gives the Developer written notice
of it, the Lender shall disburse the undisbursed remaining balance of the Subdivision Improvement Amount to
the City upon receiving written notice from the City addressed to both the Lender and the Developer. This
notice shall be signed by the Mayor or the Clerk of the City.
7. Term of Agreement. This Agreement shall commence on the date hereof and shall expire upon
the fifth anniversary of the date hereof.
8. In Lieu of Letter of Credit. This Agreement is in lieu of the letter of credit normally required by the
City to secure the completion of residential subdivision improvements.
9. Successors and Assigns. The terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall be for
the benefit of and binding upon the parties to this Agreement, their successors and assigns.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have set their hands on the day and year first above
written.

FACILITIES AND EASEMENT AGREEMENT
City of Lakeville
THIS AGREEMENT, made and entered into this ___ day of ____________, 2015, by
and between CITY OF LAKEVILLE, a Minnesota municipal corporation, ("City") and
DAKOTA COUNTY COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT AGENCY, a public body corporate
and politic under the laws of the State of Minnesota (“Landowner”).
RECITALS

Lakeville, Dakota County, Minnesota legally described in Exhibit A attached hereto
("Property"); and
WHEREAS, the Landowner is proceeding to build on and develop the Property; and

WHEREAS, the City and the Landowner, its successors and assigns, agrees that the
health, safety, and welfare of the residents of the City of Lakeville, Minnesota, require that on-
site stormwater management/BMP facilities be constructed and maintained on the Property; and
WHEREAS, the City requires that on-site stormwater management/BMP facilities
(“Stormwater Facilities”) as shown on the Plan be constructed and adequately maintained by the
Landowner, its successors and assigns; and
WHEREAS, the Landowner shall grant to the City easements for access and
maintenance of the Stormwater Facilities over a portion of the Property (the “Easement Areas”)

2
181880v1
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises, the mutual covenants
contained herein, and the following terms and conditions, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. The Stormwater Facilities shall be constructed by the Landowner, its successors
and assigns, in accordance with the plans and specifications identified in the Plan.
2. The Landowner, its successors and assigns, including any homeowners
association, shall adequately maintain the Stormwater Facilities in accordance with their
Stormwater Maintenance Plan and the City engineering standards for stormwater treatment
facilities attached hereto as Exhibit C. This includes all pipes, channels, and other conveyances
built to convey stormwater to the facility, as well as all structures, improvements, and vegetation
provided to control the quantity and quality of the stormwater. Adequate maintenance is herein
defined as good working condition so that these facilities are performing their design functions.
3. The Landowner, its successors and assigns, shall inspect the Stormwater Facilities
and submit an inspection report annually and shall be responsible for the payment of any
associated costs. The purpose of the inspection is to assure safe and proper functioning of the
facilities. The inspection shall cover the entire facilities, berms, outlet structure, pond areas,

continues for 60 days after the City gives the Landowner written notice of such failure, the City
may enter upon the Property and take whatever steps necessary, including excavation and the
storage of materials and equipment, to correct deficiencies identified in the Inspection Report.
The City's notice shall specifically state which maintenance tasks are to be performed. The City
may charge the costs, including assessing the city’s costs to the landowner’s property taxes of
such repairs, to the Landowner, its successors and assigns. This provision shall not be construed
to allow the City to erect any structure of permanent nature on the land of the Landowner outside
of the Easement Area for the Stormwater Facilities. It is expressly understood and agreed that the
City is under no obligation to routinely maintain or repair said Stormwater Facilities, and in no
event shall this Agreement be construed to impose any such obligation on the City. In addition,
Landowner agrees that it is, and will be, solely responsible to address complaints and legal
claims brought by any third party with regard to the maintenance and operation and the
consequences there from the Stormwater Facilities. The Landowner expressly agrees to defend
and hold the city harmless from any such third-party claim.
3
181880v1
6. Landowner hereby grants to the City, its successors and assigns, a permanent non-
exclusive easement for the purpose of accessing and maintaining the Stormwater Facilities
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement over, on, across, under and through the Easement Area.
The easement shall include the rights, but not the obligation, of the City, its contractors, agents,
servants, and assigns, to enter upon the Easement to construct, reconstruct, inspect, repair, and
maintain said private Stormwater Facilities together with the right to grade, level, fill, drain,
pave, and excavate the Easement Area, and the further right to remove trees, bushes,
undergrowth, and other obstructions interfering with the location, construction, and maintenance
of said private Stormwater Facilities systems.
7. The Landowner, its successors and assigns, will perform the work necessary to
keep these Stormwater Facilities in good working order as appropriate. In the event a
maintenance schedule for the Stormwater Facilities (including sediment removal) is outlined on
the approved plans, the schedule will be followed and comply with all federal, state, and local
regulations relating to the disposal of material.
8. In the event the City, pursuant to this Agreement, performs work of any nature, or
expends any funds in performance of said work for labor, use of equipment, supplies, materials,
and the like, the Landowner, its successors and assigns, shall reimburse the City upon demand,
within thirty (30) days of receipt thereof for all actual costs incurred by the City hereunder.
9. This Agreement imposes no liability of any kind whatsoever on the City. The
Landowner hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the City and its agents and employees
against any and all claims, demands, losses, damages, and expenses (including reasonable
attorneys' fees) arising out of or resulting from the Landowner or the Landowner’s agents or
employee's negligent or intentional acts, or any violation of any safety law, regulation or code in
the performance of this Agreement, without regard to any inspection or review made or not made
by the City, its agents or employees or failure by the City, its agents or employees to take any
other prudent precautions. In the event the City, upon the failure of the Landowner to comply
with any conditions of this Agreement, performs said conditions pursuant to its authority in this
Agreement, the Landowner shall indemnify and hold harmless the City, its employees, agents
and representatives for its own negligent acts in the performance of the Landowner’s required
work under this Agreement, but this indemnification shall not extend to intentional or grossly
negligent acts.
10. This Agreement shall be recorded among the land records of Dakota County,
Minnesota, and shall constitute a covenant running with the land, and shall be binding on the
Landowner, its administrators, executors, assigns, heirs and any other successors in interests,
including any homeowners association.

Subject: Morgan Square Third Addition Final Plat
INTRODUCTION
The Dakota County Community Development Agency (CDA) has submitted an application
and plans for the final plat of Morgan Square Third Addition. The plans also identify the
project name as Keystone Crossing Townhomes. The property is located south of 205th Street
and west of the Lakeville Family Theatre. The preliminary plat and amendment to the Morgan
Square Planned Unit Development (PUD) was approved by the City Council on November 2,
2009. Extensions to the preliminary plat were approved by the City Council periodically since
the preliminary plat was approved, most recently on November 5, 2012 when the preliminary
plat was extended until November 2, 2015. The final plat includes two lots and road right-of-
way for Keystone Avenue and 207th Street, consistent with the approved preliminary plat.
Approval of the final plat will include the development of 36 rental townhome lots on 6.73
acres. The lot, block and street design of the Morgan Square Third Addition final plat is
consistent with the approved preliminary plat. The final plat plans have been reviewed by
Planning Department, Engineering Division and Parks and Recreation Department staff.

PLANNING ANALYSIS
The City Council approved the Morgan Square preliminary plat on July 15, 2002, the Morgan
Square final plat on September 3, 2002, and the Morgan Square Second Addition final plat on
June 6, 2005. The Morgan Square Third Addition preliminary plat of 36 townhome units was
approved by the City Council on November 2, 2009 and was authorized a three year deadline
to submit the final plat application and plans. The City Council approved a three year
extension to the preliminary plat on November 5, 2012 until November 2, 2015 due to the
housing market conditions at that time. The Morgan Square Third Addition final plat
proposes two lots with 36 townhome units to be constructed within seven buildings. The
property and buildings will be owned by the CDA as workforce rental housing units.
Existing Conditions. The Morgan Square Third final plat area consists of Outlot E, Morgan
Square totaling 6.73 gross acres. The property includes level terrain that was preliminary
graded with previous phases of the Morgan Square development. There are existing spruce
trees on site that were planted as buffer yard screening when the Lakeville Family Theatre
was constructed in 1997. These trees will be saved by the developer as shown on the grading
plan.
Zoning. The zoning of the property is PUD, Planned Unit Development with an underlying
zoning of RM-1, Medium Density Residential District which allows townhomes subject to the
RM-1, Medium Density Residential District requirements.
Setbacks. The Morgan Square Third Addition final plat is subject to the following minimum
building setback requirements in the RM-1 district:
• Periphery of the base lots: 30 feet
• Between Buildings: 25 feet
• Public Right of Way: 30 feet
• Private Drives: 22 feet (allowed with PUD Amendment)
• Guest Parking: 15 feet
Streets. Keystone Avenue is classified as a minor collector in the City’s Transportation Plan.
Keystone Avenue includes an 80 foot wide right-of-way with a 36 foot wide pavement
section. 207th Street is a minor collector that will connect with Keystone Avenue when Outlot
F, Morgan Square develops. A temporary driveway access will be constructed on the Morgan
Square Third Addition property between Keystone Avenue and 207th Street.
Development Density. The Morgan Square Third Addition final plat consists of 36
townhomes on 5 gross acres of land. This results in a gross density of 7.2 units per acre. When
excluding the public street rights-of-way the result is a net density of 9.18 units per acre. The
overall density for the three phases of the Morgan Square townhome development meets
Zoning Ordinance requirements.
3
Access. Morgan Square Third Addition will have access from Keystone Avenue via 205th
Street and from 207th Street when Outlot F, Morgan Square to the south develops. A
temporary driveway connection will be constructed on the Morgan Square Third Addition
property between Keystone Avenue and 207th Street for temporary two way access until such
time that Outlot F develops and the permanent 207th Street and Keystone Avenue connection
is completed.
Private Drives. Three new private drives will access the two lots that include the 36
townhome units. All drives will connect to Keystone Avenue. The private drives will be 24
feet in width as allowed with the PUD amendment and must be posted as no parking.
Guest Parking. The RM-1 District requires guest parking equal to ½-space per unit. With 36
units proposed for this final plat, 18 guest parking spaces are required. The developer is
proposing 18 guest parking spaces with this development spaced throughout the plat.
Landscaping. The landscape plan identifies 48 overstory deciduous trees, 32 decorative crab
trees, 35 eight foot tall spruce and pine trees, and 128 shrubs. All plant materials meet the
minimum size requirements of the Zoning Ordinance.
There is a row of 27 existing spruce and fir trees along the east property line of the Morgan
Square Third Addition plat that was installed by the developer of the Lakeville Theatre when
that building was constructed in 1997. The trees at that time were six feet tall and were
intended to provide advanced growing time in anticipation of the future medium density
residential development on the Morgan Square property. The proposed landscape plan shows
the existing spruce trees being saved and additional evergreen tree landscaping installed along
the east boundary to maximize the screening. The landscape plan also proposes screening
along the north side of the property adjacent to Morgan Square Second Addition.
Parks and Trails. Sidewalks five feet in width will be constructed along both sides of
Keystone Avenue to match the sidewalk construction in previous Morgan Square phases. No
park land need is identified in the Park, Trails and Open Space Plan. Cash contribution is
recommended to meet park dedication requirements. Park dedication will be for 36 units at a
rate of $2,572 per unit for a total of $92,592.00.
Tree Preservation. A stand of spruce and fir trees are located along the east boundary of the
proposed Morgan Square Third Addition final plat that will be protected during grading and
construction as noted on the grading plan.
Wetlands. There are no wetlands located within the Morgan Square Third Addition final plat.
Grading, Drainage and Erosion Control. The final plat includes grading, drainage and
erosion control plans. Grading, drainage and erosion control is discussed in more detail in the
May 8, 2015 engineering memo.

The Morgan Square Third Addition site was partially graded with the Morgan Square
improvements. The site contains significant trees in the southern portion of the site that are
planned for removal with the development. Trees are located along the east property line
adjacent to the Muller Family Theater, planted with the Morgan Square improvements to
serve as a landscape buffer, which will remain with the site improvements. Existing temporary
cul-de-sacs at Keystone Avenue and 207th Street will be removed with the improvements.

Keystone Avenue and 207th Street
Morgan Square Third Addition is located south of Keystone Avenue, a minor collector
roadway, as identified in the City’s Transportation Plan. Keystone Avenue will be constructed
and extended to the south plat boundary with the site improvements and is designed as a 36-
foot wide urban roadway with 5-foot wide concrete sidewalks along both sides of the street.
The Developer is dedicating 80-feet of right-of-way.
The existing temporary cul-de-sac at Keystone Avenue will be removed. The temporary
easement over the cul-de-sac will expire upon final plat approval of Morgan Square Third
Addition and the extension of Keystone Avenue. The Developer of Morgan Square 2nd
Addition provided a $2,000 security for the removal of the temporary cul-de-sac. The CDA
shall coordinate with the Developer of Morgan Square 2nd Addition for the removal of the cul-
de-sac.
The existing temporary cul-de-sac at 207th Street will be removed with the final plat. The
temporary easement over the cul-de-sac will expire upon final plat approval of Morgan
Square Third Addition. 207th Street will be extended as a temporary roadway to provide a
connection to Keystone Avenue until the time Outlot F, Morgan Square is developed.
Keystone Avenue will ultimately extend to the south and connect with the future extension of
207th Street at the time Outlot F, Morgan Square is developed. The proposed alignment of
207th Street is consistent with the approved preliminary plat for Morgan Square Third
Addition, the City’s Transportation Plan, and the preliminary design for 207th Street identified
in the I-35/CSAH 70 interchange improvement plans.
Due to the limited right-of-way constraints for grading, utility, and street construction, the
remainder of 207th Street will not be constructed until time the Outlot F, Morgan Square is
developed. To allow for a secondary access for the entire Morgan Square subdivision, a 24-
foot wide temporary roadway connection between Keystone Avenue and 207th Street will be
constructed. The Developer shall provide a temporary roadway and drainage and utility
easement which will expire when Keystone Avenue is extended to the south when Outlot F,
Morgan Square is developed.
