EXHIBIT 1
1. The petitioner shall obtain all necessary permits for each phase prior to construction, including
but not limited to building, land alteration, right-of-way and sign permits.
2. The proposed project and phasing shall meet all Building code, Fire code, and ADA
requirements.
3. City engineering staff to review and approve grading, drainage and utility plans prior to issuance
of building permit for each phase or building.
4. A storm pond maintenance agreement shall be required for each pond in the overall development.
The uncertainty related to future phases’ layouts will require a stormwater pond agreement for
each phase and submitted for approval, prior to issuance of any building permits for that related
phase.
5. Landscape and irrigation plan to be reviewed and approved by City Staff prior to issuance of any
building permit for each phase or building.
6. The petitioner shall pay all water and sewer connection fees prior to issuance of any building
permit for each phase or building.
7. Bicycle/pedestrian connections between buildings within project and to the adjacent regional park
shall be incorporated into the Master Plan. Bike racks shall also be provided for each building in
the development.
8. The petitioner shall comply with any requirements set forth by the Anoka County Highway
Department and the Minnesota Department of Transportation.
9. Costs for modification to site access at East River Road and this site's redevelopment related
signalization enhancements shall be borne by the petitioner and petitioner’s successor.
10. Due to the complexity of this redevelopment and ultimately the number of unknowns related to
who will be new tenants or owners of buildings and what their specific needs will be, the
developer shall be required to keep each phase of his development within 10% of that square foot
dimension that is shown for each phase in the Master Plan. This means that while there may be a
modification in shape and size of buildings in each phase, the overall phase shall not deviate from
the Master Plan square foot dimension by more than 10%. Any changes that deviate by greater
than 10% shall be reviewed and approved by the Planning Commission and City Council.
11. Each phase should generally comply with the most similar zoning district performance standards.
(ie. Light industrial phases shall generally comply with M-1, Light Industrial performance
standards).
12. An increase in overall square footage beyond 1,839,220 sq ft will require further AUAR review.
13. No park fee is required of petitioner, because the original owner of the subject property dedicated
land for park purposes.
14. The petitioner shall maintain a vegetative cover on all excavated areas awaiting building
construction.
15. A development agreement between the Developer and the City for all public/ private site
improvements including but not limited to streets, utilities, and landscape shall be approved for
the overall development, prior to issuance of a building permit for the first building in phase one.
