A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT FOR
COTTONWOOD TRAIL ADDITION
CASE NO. 2013-08
WHEREAS, Tom and Karen Garley made application for approval of the final plat and
Development Agreement for COTTONWOOD TRAIL ADDITION; and
WHEREAS, on April 8, 2013 the Stillwater City Planning Commission held a public
hearing and recommended approval of the preliminary plat for COTTONWOOD TRAIL
ADDITION; and
WHEREAS, on April 18, 2013 the Stillwater Township /City of Stillwater Joint Planning
Board held a public hearing and recommended approval of the preliminary plat for
COTTONWOOD TRAIL ADDITION; and
WHEREAS, on May 7, 2013 the Stillwater City Council held a public hearing and
approved the preliminary plat for the project; and
WHEREAS, on July 16, 2013 the Stillwater City Council held a public hearing on the
final plat for COTTONWOOD TRAIL ADDITION and found it to be consistent with the
preliminary plat.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council of the City of
Stillwater hereby approves the development agreement for COTTONWOOD TRAIL ADDITION
with the following conditions:
1. The site shall be developed in substantial conformance with the preliminary
plat dated 3 /4/13 on file with the Community Development Department.
2. Approval of the annexation, and therefore all of the other requests in this
case, are contingent upon extension of utilities and public road by the City or
National Guard on the property to the west. The US Congress has not as of
this date approved the budget appropriating funds for construction of the
Readiness Center. When this occurs, extension of the infrastructure is
guaranteed and this contingency will be considered satisfied. Thereafter, the
annexation may be filed with the Minnesota Municipal Board.
3. The final plat shall not be released for recording with Washington County
until after review and approval of the annexation request by the Minnesota
Municipal Board.
4. Easements and a maintenance agreement for the combined driveway must be
submitted to the City, approved by the City Attorney, and filed at
Washington County together with the final plat.
5. The developer will be responsible for extending the sewer and water from his
property line to the individual home sites.

to issuance of any building permits. The grading plan must include tree
protection fencing as recommended by the City Forester.
7. The City Engineer must review the elevation of the lowest floor and floor
drains for the houses prior to issuance of building permits to provide
sufficient vertical separation above the highest elevation of the adjacent
wetland.
8. Prior to release of the final plat for recording with Washington County, the
developer must submit a scaled drawing that shows location and species of
trees consistent with the City Forester's recommendation for screening
purposes on the east property line of Lot 2.
9. Prior to release of the plat for filing with Washington County, the developer
will be responsible for verifying with the City engineer, consulting engineers,
and the Washington County highway engineering staff that the reduced
space platted for roadway purposes is sufficient to accommodate the road. If
it is sufficient, then the amount to be paid by the City for the reduced
roadway property will be reduced commensurately.
10. The rezoning shall not become effective until the Final Plat for Cottonwood
Trail Addition is filed with Washington County for recording.
11. All electrical and communications utility lines shall be buried.
12. The minimum width of the 40 foot long east /west segment of the combined
private driveway must be widened to a minimum of 18 feet.
