such as additional drainage ways, erosion control measures, and surface and storm water management
measures are necessary in the interest of public safety, are necessary in order to comply with current laws or
are necessary for implementation of the original intent of the Improvement plans, the City is authorized to order
Developer, at Developer’s expense, to implement the same. If Developer fails to construct the additional
Improvement within a reasonable time under the circumstances, the City may cause such work to be carried
out and shall charge against the financial guarantee held by the City pursuant to this Agreement. The
requirement by the City of such additional Improvements as set forth herein must not negatively impact the
development or cause or result in the loss of a lot/unit/building within the development.

described herein, shall be completed by the Developer within one (1) year from the signing of this Agreement

the Agreement. The final surface course of pavement must be deferred until ninety percent (90%) of the
homes have been substantially completed, or twenty-four (24) months after the date of acceptance of
improvements, whichever comes first.
If the final surface course of pavement, is not completed within twelve (12) months of the date of this
Agreement, the Developer shall extend the Letter of Credit in a form acceptable to the City until such time as
the final surface course of pavement is completed.
5
If the City receives notice of the intention to terminate the Letter of Credit prior to completion of the final surface
course pavement, such notice shall be considered a failure to complete improvements in accordance with this
agreement and shall entitle the City to immediately draw against the Letter of Credit.
SECTION VI : AS-BUILT CONSTRUCTION PLANS
For private utilities the Developer can use its contractor or authorize the City to prepare all necessary as-built
construction plans. For public utilities, the Developer authorizes the City to prepare all necessary as-built
construction plans for the Improvements to be dedicated to the City. Developer agrees to reimburse City for all
costs incurred in the preparation and distribution of as-built data, including collection of data, revisions to
construction documents and upload of data to City’s Geographic Information System, and City may utilize
Developer’s Deposit account for all charges related hereto.
SECTION VII : FINAL ACCEPTANCE
Throughout this Agreement, various stages of the development will require approval by the City. “Final
Acceptance” as used herein, however, shall be the ultimate acceptance of all of the Improvements in the
completed development as a whole and shall be granted specifically by resolution of the City Council. Final
Acceptance shall be granted when substantial completion occurs, as determined by the City Council pursuant
to the definition of substantial completion shown in Wisconsin Statutes Section 236.13(2)(am)(2). Granting
Final Acceptance does not relieve the Developer of any obligations of this Agreement for uncompleted
Improvements, and does not constitute a waiver, in particular, of the Developer’s obligation to complete any
other Improvements or obligations that may be outstanding at the time that Final Acceptance is granted.
SECTION VIII : DEDICATION AND ACCEPTANCE OF IMPROVEMENTS
Subject to all of the other provisions of this Agreement, Developer shall, without charge to the City, upon
completion of the above described Improvements, unconditionally give, grant, convey and fully dedicate the
storm sewer and roadway improvements to the City (excluding those facilities which are to be owned and
maintained by the developer), its successors and assigns, forever, free and clear of all encumbrances (except
those encumbrances that may be acceptable to the City) whatever, together with and including, without
limitation because of enumeration, any and all land, structures, mains, conduits, pipes lines, plant, machinery,
equipment, appurtenances and hereditaments which may in any way be a part of or pertain to such
Improvements and together with any and all necessary easements for access thereto. The City will be
receptive to the dedications of Improvements, except private storm water drainage facilities (if applicable),
when all said utilities have been completed and approved by the City Engineer and other agencies as
applicable.
Dedication shall not constitute acceptance of any improvement by the City. The City shall not accept the
dedication of any Improvements which do not fully comply with approved plans, applicable City ordinances and
written municipal specifications universally applied as of the date of this Agreement. Claims of financial
hardship by the Developer shall not be considered a reason for the City to accept substandard materials or
work.
The City shall have the right to connect to or integrate other utility facilities with the Improvements provided
herein without payment, award, or consent required of the Developer, provided, however that connection to
any facilities located on or under Developer’s property shall require notice to Developer and shall not
negatively impact the building or any of its tenants.
At such time as all improvements are completed and acceptable as called for under this Agreement, and all
approvals have been received from regulatory agencies, such improvements shall be accepted by the City by
separate Resolution. Acceptance shall not occur until after the items listed below have taken place OR if the
City Engineer deems other items relating to the construction of the development necessary:

operational system as required herein, and the installation of the bituminous concrete base course
pavement has been properly installed, and

SECTION IX : INSPECTION AND ADMINISTRATION FEES
Developer shall pay and reimburse the City, in accordance with Section 392-13 of the Land Division Ordinance

inspection to insure that construction is in compliance with the applicable plans, specifications, regulations and
ordinances; and legal, administrative and fiscal work undertaken to assure and implement such compliance.

satisfied.
