Ice Arena Remodel Design Review
Parks and Recreation Commission Minutes
November 10, 2025

familiar with this design. Zac presented the concept design to the Commission and the
improvements we are looking to do including a new reception area, expanded office
area, renovated concession area, expanded storage for concessions and general
purpose, extended viewing platform for the north rink, an enclosed heated viewing area
for the south rink, expanded stairs for locker room access, & updated floors and lighting.
Commissioner Larson asked if we would keep skate sharpening in the office. Zac
confirmed yes, we would but it will end up being tucked back away from the reception
area to lessen the noise for staff. Commissioner Larson asked why the mezzanine is
proposed to be so short & wondered if it could be extended further. Zac explained that
the high school is looking to build a JV locker room in the future that would come from
the other direction and space might be compromised. We can look into this more as we
go through the design process to see if there is room to extend it, or if they are looking
to attach to the existing beams and footings. We did look at trying to ease the bottle
neck at the stairway, but right now we would have to remove a section of bleacher
seating and not sure if we would like to do that, so we are looking to see if there is a
better way to do it. The project right now is estimated to be under $2 million, but we
will see where we are after completing the design. The ice arena generates revenue
and is typically self-sustaining, so we are hoping to pay for this through that ice arena
revenue. It would be a bond, and the ice arena would pay the bond through revenue.
City Council still needs to give their approval, so tonight we are just looking for
Commission feedback. We are still a couple months out from making any major
decisions but would like the Commission’s feedback about the design to make sure we
are going down the right track with your experiences at the arena. Commissioner
Gustafson likes design, as she recently has been taking her son to skating lessons, she
has learned how busy the facility can be. Commissioner Larson also liked the look and
the openness and the access to the concessions. Having a warming spot on the south
rink is going to be a great addition. A motion was made to approve the concept design
by Commissioner Gustafson. Seconded by Commissioner Glasford. Motioned passed.
B. Ice Arena Naming Rights Service Proposal
The Council has expressed the desire for marketing rights for the Cottage Grove Ice
Arena. We have had the option to sell those naming rights since the expansion in 2008,
but we just haven’t had any takers, with the exception of CG Logistics who partnered
with the city and re named the north rink to the CG Logistics Rink. We reached out to a
few other potential partners but have been unsuccessful on our own. This is why most
cities partner with advertising agencies. We reached out to one of the most successful
agencies that we know in the area which is Front Burner Sports. We received their
presentation on what they have done for other communities, brought that to Council in
the form of two different workshops. The Council said to move forward with the
proposal. Currently we are working on the final proposal from Front Burner Sports, will
then bring it to Council, negotiate those terms, and see if it moves forward from there.
Zac shared the full presentation of what the company does and history of success
Parks and Recreation Commission Minutes
November 10, 2025
Page 3 of 6
stories. It is a big endeavor, it takes a lot of work, and at the same time it changes the
facility. If there were to be a company that wanted naming right for the whole facility,
then it would no longer be called the Cottage Grove Ice Arena, and you would lose part
of your identity and direct ties to the community. So, this is a big deal, but it also brings
in quite a bit of revenue to support operations. Looking for comments and feedback
from the Commission. Commissioner Glasford asked if someone has naming rights, is it
just monetary, or do they have a say in what goes on or what is done to the facility. Zac
stated that no, they do not have any ownership beyond signage. Commissioner Brown
asked about evaluating partners, and what types of things do they take into
consideration, is it just who is willing to pay for it, or do we look at company values and
visions to make sure it aligns with the city? Zac stated that one of the first steps in the
process is meeting with the marketing agency and telling them what our policy and
procedures are. Currently some of our policies are no gambling, no alcohol, no smoking,
and we lay this information out ahead of time to make sure they are finding partners
that make sense with our policies and our expectations. Commissioner Olson wanted to
know more about the CG Logistics rink contracts and if there are any potential things
with that contract that may impact our ability to move forward with others, and do
these companies need to play nice with one another? Since CG Logistics is local here in
town Commissioner Olson would want them to know we value their partnership, and
this is in no way trying to diminish the value for us. Zac agreed with Commissioner
Olson. Zac explained that when CG Logistics entered into the agreement it was less
about marketing and advertising and more about community support. To the backside
of Commissioner Olson’s questions, Zac stated that in the future we would have to
make sure that different partners play nice together and we will figure out those things
as we go. Commissioner Olson also wanted to say that it would be great to have a local
business (Cottage Grove or Washington County) to have as a partnership. He has a little
resistance to changing the name of the arena itself, as Cottage Grove is known for this
arena. So, what are we losing and how do we value the loss of that name recognition
around town. Commissioner Olson wanted to make sure that the Council takes that into
consideration. Zac agreed with Commissioner Olson’s statement that he himself has
tangled this as well and will share with the Council. Commissioner Larson asked the
average length of a contract. Zac stated on average it is 10 to 15 years. Commissioner
Glasford asked what the expected monetary value of something like this to the city is.
Zac stated that an entire facility could range anywhere from $750,000 to $1.5 million
over the life of the contract. A sheet of ice would be more towards the $500,000 to
$850,000 range, so it is quite a significant amount. Commissioner Gustafson asked what
happens if you go through all of the phases and the city is out that amount of money
that is listed in their presentation. Zac confirmed that yes that is true, but there is a 30-
day opt in the contract at any time. A motion was made by Commissioner Gustafson to
support the Ice Arena Naming Rights Service Proposal. Seconded by Commissioner
Olson.

C. 2024-2027 Work Plan Review
Zac submitted the work plan review to remind the Commission of our mission and our
goals. This is a document used to guide our conversations, and we want to make sure
we are addressing all the goals that you have set forth. Looking for reaffirmation that
the work plan doesn’t need to change. The Commission had no comments to change
the current plan. As there are no changes there is no action needed.
Zac presented Commissioner terms. Commissioner Crabtree’s term will expire in
February 2026, so we will be looking for one new Commissioner to serve a 2-year term.
We are also seeking 2 youth seats ages 13 and up. No action needed.
7. PRESENTATIONS
8. ACTION UPDATES
The homes around the area are being built and the apartment complex is interested in
property near the park again. So now that development is moving, we are going to look
to next year to start the construction of the park. Construction of the park will take a
year to a year and a half to complete.
We have been burning some piles and finally getting those large piles of brush and
debris out of there. Once the snow is on the ground, we will be able to burn the
remainder down. We lost some trees to some over spraying unfortunately from Arbor
Day. Most of the trees survived, but there are patches that didn’t make it, so we will
plan on doing another Arbor Day planting again next year to fill out those areas and
continue with some of the forest management and seeding.
The three fields are pretty much done. They were out dormant seeding today, so the
park is about 99% complete. Our crew will go out and excavate the playground which
should be delivered and begin construction next week. The fields will have a year of rest
and growth and then can be used starting in 2027. Commissioner Olson requested that
this be on the tour schedule for next year. Zac stated that this will be one of the stops.
Continuing to work on different funding options. We did submit for a grant for State
Park Road Access, which if we received this grant and get the road into the park, that
will open everything up as that was money that we were not projecting we could get

without the 3M settlement dollars. We should know by the end of the year whether we
will receive this grant or not.
Kingston Park Building
No updates
Peterson Park
The developer has started to build homes. We do not own all the land around the lake
yet, as the developer has not dedicated the land to us yet. Zac has had the privilege of
walking all the way around the lake and it’s an awesome trail around the lake.
Still Ponds Park
No major updates
9. DONATIONS
10. STAFF REPORTS AND MATERIALS
Each manager has submitted division updates and Zac included information from his
recent MN Recreation Park Association Conference. Zac shared with the Commission
that one of the classes he attended by accident was a social media influencer class,
which was a mind-blowing experience and showed how incredible the impact is from
influencers compared to the government.
11. COMMISSION COMMENTS
12. COUNCIL COMMENTS
Council Member Clausen shared that one of the big topics that came before the Council
and will be for the next few years is the Nelson Amrize Holcim mining proposal. Grey
Cloud Island currently has a mining operation. They will be exhausting their current
supply in about five years, so they have put a proposal to expand the mine out into
another area in the Mississippi, which has created some comments within the
community and people that live on both sides of the river. The environmental impact
study was recently brought to the Council to approve the statement. The only thing the
Council was asked to approve of were very narrow questions; did we follow the state
law and did the citizens receive enough time to make their comments. The Council
approved that the document was done properly and followed the law. We did not
approve of them to start mining, that will be years in the future. Council Member
Clausen expressed gratitude to the Commission for the comments about the naming
rights of the ice arena. The Council is divided on whether to move forward or not as if
we do not find a partner, the cost to the city at minimum would be $20,000 as well as

losing our identity if the facility is renamed. Council Member Clausen also forewarned
the council of the upcoming 80th street project that will be starting in the spring.

RE: Strategic Plan Update
Discussion
On January 10, the Council met with staff to discuss the strategic plan for 2026. A copy of the
meeting minutes from Ethical Leaders in Action is attached. The meeting started with reviewing
community survey results from 2025 then moved into discussions around the community
development strategic plan, marketing city properties, city landscaping, communications strategy,
the fire department standards of cover study, parks plans and concluded with a discussion
regarding the financial management plan.
While the three pillars of Enhancing Quality of Life for Residents, Thriving Business and Tourism
Environment and Remain an Employer of Choice remain unchanged for 2026, the success factors
under the Strategic Directions were updated to reflect the discussion at the meeting.
The four Strategic Directions include Engaging Residents Where They Are, Continuing Sustainable
Growth, Making Cottage Grove a Recreation Destination, and Remaining an Employer of Choice.
Associated with each direction are success factors outlining expected results. A few of the new
success factors include continuing data-driven social media content, implementing online building
inspection scheduling, modifying the public landscapes initiative to re-balance and restore right of
way landscaping in key areas of the community for public beautification, delivering the 80th Street
rehabilitation project, and following the direction of Standards of Cover evaluating and
implementing staffing plans and ensuring facilities meet the demands of our service model
including decommissioning Station 4. The full list of success factors can be found on the attached
placemat.
Recommandation :
Accept the 2026 Strategic Directions.
MEMORANDUM
TO: Jennifer Levitt, City Administrator, City of Cottage Grove
FROM: Chad Weinstein and James Fischer, Ethical Leaders in Action
DATE: February 12, 2026
RE: Outcomes from 2026 City Leadership Retreat
Introduction
This memorandum is respectfully submitted as the final deliverable of our engagement to facilitate the
2026 Cottage Grove City Leadership Retreat. It is intended to capture the outcomes and spirit of the
relevant discussions which took place throughout the day. A more detailed set of notes compiled and
edited for relevance and clarity is also attached to this memo as an appendix.
Retreat Objectives
The retreat was held on January 10, 2026, at River Oaks Golf Course and Event Center. In a slight
departure from recent years, this retreat was organized around a number of topical discussions of strategic
importance, considering various aspects of city services, investments, and development goals in the
context of the city’s financial management plan (FMP). The Council will update the strategic objectives for
the city, a traditional activity undertaken in the retreat, in a future work session. That update will be
informed by the many discussions that took place at the retreat, and which are documented in this
memorandum.
Discussion Notes
Introductory Activity: Sources of Pride
Participants were shown a chart depicting the facets of livability used to survey residents, and asked to
place one dot on the facet that represented a source of pride, and a second that represented the facet that
they found most important. All council members and many staff members shared the reasons for their
choices, and the trends were discussed.
Overwhelmingly, safety was cited as a source of pride and as the facet of top importance since safety is a
basic necessity that supports so many other aspects of quality of life. Participants noted that this facet of
livability extends well beyond traditional public safety services, including services provided by public
works, community development, communications, and other functions. Participants also expressed pride
in bringing the new water treatment center online, and in the city’s remarkable parks, recreational
opportunities, and natural environment. In general, the sources of pride aligned with the importance
assigned to the relevant facet of livability.
Discussion: Revenue and Economic Development
Finance Director Brenda Malinowski led a discussion concerning revenue projections. Residential
development is projected to be relatively steady, though development often comes in “spikes” when new
developments are occupied. One council member asked whether the City might try to level out spikes to
contain the costs of service that follow the introduction of new residents. Because the situation is market
driven, there is not realistically, in practice, a way to do that without losing the benefits of the growth.
Summary Notes for Cottage Grove Council-Staff Retreat 2026 Page 2
The City is facing a significant challenge in its Emergency Medical Service (EMS) funding due to low
Medicare reimbursement rates, resulting in a negative cash balance in the EMS fund of around $600,000.
The City will transfer $550,000 to address this problem, recognizing that it reflects a structural challenge as
costs exceed revenue for this critical service. The City is addressing this longer-term issue by shifting
additional labor costs from the EMS enterprise fund to the general levy over time, a shift that more
realistically reflects the costs of providing community risk reduction, fire and emergency response, and
emergency medical services to the community.
Community Development
Community Development Director Emily Schmitz presented an update on department strategy, operations,
and staffing. The City will need additional capacity in Building Services, especially code enforcement. A
constructive discussion took place about ways to optimize labor through technology and process
improvements; staff has already undertaken many of these efforts. Council was generally supportive of
adding staff in the future; a proposal will be considered as part of the budget discussions and is well
understood.
Council was supportive of evaluating changing city code to allow residential garbage containers to be
placed unobtrusively at the sides of dwellings, but not necessarily fully enclosed; this will mitigate a source
of irritation for many residents and an enforcement burden for the city.
Economic Development
Economic Development Manager Nate Carlson shared new strategies of helping existing businesses to
grow, continuing to partner with others to bring in new businesses, and cleaning up blighted properties to
promote redevelopment. The partnership strategies include working with businesses to identify new
development targets that will stimulate business growth for existing businesses, and helping businesses to
work together to grow and prosper. The council was supportive of this direction.
One current, major challenge to larger-scale commercial development in particular is the delay in access to
electricity. This is driven entirely by Xcel Energy, which effectively has a monopoly. Council and staff will
work together to influence Xcel, including by working with the Public Utilities Commission.
Council was also supportive of balancing development for tax base with development for job creation and
maintenance and for promoting other facets of quality of life (such as recreational amenities). Council was
also supportive of strengthening ties to and support for the Chamber of Commerce.
Other guidance and suggestions:
• Consider using warehouse-like spaces for recreational amenities like trampoline parks or curling.
• Hold a city-led “summit” meeting of businesses to help them work together to drive growth and to
identify synergistic targets for future development.
• Engage an analytics firm as the City has in the past.
• If necessary, the City may pursue condemnation of the Majestic.
• Staff is asked to provide Council with a map of properties owned by the EDA.
• Attendance at ISCS was discussed. Council and staff will develop a strategy for participation.
• Timing for gas station projects was discussed.
Summary Notes for Cottage Grove Council-Staff Retreat 2026 Page 3
City Landscaping
Parks and Recreation Director Zac Dockter laid out a proposal to transition city roadway landscaping to
larger areas of hardscape and smaller high-impact areas of planting to improve appearance, reduce labor
cost, and improve worker safety maintaining areas adjacent to high-speed routes. Council enthusiastically
supportive of this recommendation. Staff will prepare more detailed plans and bring them back to Council.
Other guidance:
• Consider replacing the current City sign on Highway 61 for greater impact and visual appeal.
• Work with MNDOT to improve their maintenance of city access points.
Public Works/Parks and Recreation Facility Relocation
Public Works Director Ryan Burfeind presented plans for a new facility and the financial rationale for
redeveloping the current space, and using proceeds from a sale to offset some of the new facility costs.
The new facility will be built in phases, and constructed for cost-effective expansion. Council was
supportive of dedicating levy dollars for design, and will consider the timing of future investments,
balancing savings and bonding options accordingly. Council discussed thinking about a local option sales
tax to help fund the project.
Communications
Communications Manager Phil Jents discussed the City’s communications strategy and operations. Council
was supportive of the City’s recent communications efforts overall, and endorsed the strategies to shift
social media platforms to meet residents and stakeholders where they are, along with the continued
increase in online video content. The podcast downloads are under 100 per episode but potentially
impactful, especially when compared with attendance at most public meetings. Further, podcast content is
rich, creating better informed listeners.
Council was also supportive of a future redesign of the City logo and newsletter.
Other guidance and discussion:
• Mitigating harmful comments online is deceptively complex; staff is aware of the trade-offs.
• Consider television and radio commercials.
• Consider a live cam like the Eagle Cams in some locations.
Fire Standards of Cover
Fire Chief John Pritchard and Public Safety Director Pete Koerner presented an overview of the recent
Standards of Cover report, representing the “gold standard” for fire service and EMS analytics. The
recommendations and implications were discussed at some length.
Facilities needs were discussed. Findings included endorsement of current resource locations at Station 1,
and the decommissioning of Fire Station 4. In the near-term, there will be a need to expand Station 1 by
adding a bay, a contingency for which the building and site were designed. This change would meet the
department’s relevant facilities needs for at least the next ten years or so. Longer-range, there will be
benefit to locating a new station to serve the southwest areas of the city (including Grey Cloud Island) as
they are further developed. Council members offered guidance to look for land options early, and to
consider seeking the right of first refusal on Bailey Nursery land.
Staffing needs were also discussed in detail. The department will “sunset” its part-time firefighter
program, encouraging current employees to continue to serve as long as they are able, but no longer hiring
any new part-timers. Council endorsed that decision, expressing support and gratitude for the many part-
time responders who have served the city over decades, and recognizing the demographic and economic
Summary Notes for Cottage Grove Council-Staff Retreat 2026 Page 4
realities that drive that change. Council also discussed pursuing a federal SAFER grant to allow for more
rapid hiring. Council endorsed the plan to pursue a SAFER grant for 8 FTEs, and was generally supportive
of using a specialized grant writer, to be proposed in the future after more research. Council also endorsed
the budgetary transfer of 7 PT firefighter positions that are unfilled to one FTE full-time firefighter, a
position which can then be posted immediately.
Finally, after the city’s many efforts to reach agreements that protect the interests of Cottage Grove
taxpayers, the City will take steps to remove Newport and Saint Paul Park from Cottage Grove’s EMS PSA.
East Ravine Parks Plan
Zac Dockter presented a plan for new parks in the East Ravine area, which was discussed in detail and
generally well-received. Land acquisition options were discussed in some detail. Council was also
supportive of increasing parks dedication fees for multi-unit developments, to be discussed in a future
work session.
Financial Management Plan
Brenda Malinowski returned to lead a discussion concerning the FMP. Additional spending, especially for
Fire Department hiring, falls outside of the current FMP. This led to a thoughtful and spirited discussion
about the nature and role of FMP. The support for hiring firefighters was not in question; the issue was
really whether the FMP constituted a commitment which would require other, offsetting cuts, or whether
it was a guideline and tool for minimizing spikes in levy increases. The wisdom of deferring needed
expenses – sometimes characterized as “kicking the can down the road” – was also discussed.
An online polling exercise revealed that the council tends to prioritize personnel, then equipment, and
then capital investments.
Parking Lot Topics
Throughout the day, we captured questions, guidance, and other ideas that were adjacent to the topics
being considered. We revisited these topics at the conclusion of the retreat. However, all of the topics
included in the parking lot are noted in the above notes, as part of their original discussions.
Conclusion
The retreat adjourned just before 4:00 PM. The facilitators wish to express their gratitude for being
invited to return for the 2026 retreat. We appreciate the opportunity to serve as long-range strategic
partners to the leadership of the City of Cottage Grove.
More detailed topical notes are included as an appendix, below.

Edited Notes on Cottage Grove Strategy, 10 Jan 2026
These notes focus on capturing comments of the Cottage Grove City Council, not on presentations by staff.
In cases where staff comments are added, it is to clarify context or build on Council remarks.
Opening Comments
Mayor Bailey
Today is a chance to dream a bit, put up ideas. Even if it’s not something we will cover today, this is the
day to get the ideas out there.
Council recognizes that staff needs some specific guidance. Council also realizes that there are limits and
this process helps to work through those limits.
City Administrator Levitt
Presentation on Team Cottage Grove – End Zone Vision, Roles and Responsibilities, all members of the
team are essential. There is a good team dynamic between elected and staff. Today we want to get ideas
out now for work in February. In the future we want yard markers to track progress. Hold back nothing…
say what you need to say. Currently, our resources are sufficient- we have made investments in facilities
and staff and equipment. Our “defense’ meets challenges that exist- many are out of our control (lawsuits,
landowners, tariffs, medical expenses). Our “offense” moves the ball forward – we need to be flexible, set
plays to achieve our goals, get in the end zone.
Dot Exercise
Green – facet of livability that reflects a
significant achievement in last year
Red – facet of livability that is most
important for the next year
Comments –
Safety – The majority of both green and
red are in this area. It is important that
people can live with peace of mind. If
people feel comfortable and safe, good
things follow.
Mobility - This is important for seniors
and young to keep their costs down -
mobility for livability
CG wants to make sure we are maximizing value for our constituents - affordability
Mayor proud of our safety environment and our parks, people love what we are doing in Public Safety and
want us to continue. People love our Parks & Recreation even if they are reluctant to pay for it.
Idea: have an affordability index for CG to compare to similar communities to make sure we are on target;
our tax capacity is a challenge because we are not the wealthiest of cities.
Mayor – We need figure out how to get over the top with economic development – ball has been pulled
out, we have been held up at the goal line, we want to make more progress.
CM Olsen- “Which one of my kids do I love the best;” it remains a challenge to prioritize. City government
is fundamental to quality of life. The building blocks matter. Public Safety rises to the top for many – no
Summary Notes for Cottage Grove Council-Staff Retreat 2026 Page 6
safety, people won’t go to parks, ride bus, etc. Bad Public Works leads to all kinds of challenges. People
want it all but we can’t do it all at once.
Utilities – achievements – water treatment upgrades (best water in TC!)
Public Safety – achievements – Overall, engagement in community helps people feel safe. The licensing for
paramedics, solid training, and productivity are factors that put our department in the upper echelon
across the state (evidence? many people willing to lateral to join our PD, FD, EMS). The Safe Streets for All
grant is an achievement.
Note- Safety is not just “public” safety; it includes good road care, a perception of order (quality code
enforcement), officer presence beyond “fighting” crime, and proactive communication especially of alerts
and warnings.
Parks & Rec – achievements – Lots of our programming is popular. People love the beautiful parks and
landscapes. The low cost and free amenities available to all are an incredible asset to entire community
which support our strategic goal of being a recreation destination especially in maintaining
venues/fields/facilities/trails.
Even things that are not listed make a difference – our bond rating, employee retention, a stable council
that supports staff help. Employees watch how the council works and their professionalism is a positive
indicator.
Fund Allocation and Balance
We expect new housing starts to stay steady (flat), with minimal growth in number of plats, although there
are some still coming in the near term.
Revenue – residential development has been bread and butter, senior living is solid, commercial was
higher in past.
CM Thiede Question – Do we try to manage growth to avoid spikes and turbulence? To mow down
mountains and pull up valleys? Moments of instability have usually come from a spike (increase) caused by
a single major development. City budgets conservatively. When mountains come up, we respond and then
adjust. Our fund balance policy helps us manage the uncertainty.
All departments are operating under an amended budget.
Contingency planning and funds help manage unexpected challenges.
Currently revenue is about $1.8 mil over spending.
Several voiced concern about impact of “going our own way” in the emergency services partnership with
neighbors. Can we invoice neighboring cities in order to educate the public about the expenses and the
write off that CG has to do to provide the service?
Staff sought guidance on negative cash balance in the EMS fund of $600K – (if we don’t shore up the fund,
what do we tell bond agency?) Brenda recommends transferring $550K from General fund to EMS fund
(see slide). - APPROVED
Change in allocation for Fire Fighters now 60% in general fund, 40% in EMS fund, recommended that new
Fire Fighter/Paramedic hires rely on general fund.
Summary Notes for Cottage Grove Council-Staff Retreat 2026 Page 7
Community Development
Department has built its own strategic plan.
Discussion about role of code enforcement officer and need for additional PT/FTE – what do they do most
of the time? Inspection? Looking for things? Sam is almost always reactive. Responding to complaints is
her priority. She works on licensing in her “down time” and off season.
CM questions: Can we improve processes? For example, use of drones? This would require some legal
matters resolved. Even drones still require operators and time to process information. Is the expense of
an additional employee (over &130K) better spent on other methods? Could we increase duration of
rental license? Is the rapid growth of single-family home rentals something that should be managed? Or
is it a cycle that we just need to ride out. Families are renting homes that their elders owned and have
vacated for assisted living. Is this a benefit for CG or something CG needs to “curtail”? Good code
enforcement can mitigate negatives of rental properties. Question about what “Total Property
Maintenance” means – it is a reactive activity, responding to concerns. Not proactive (not part of a regular
plan). What is the inspection process? - documentation, follow-up, phone calls, engagement, citation if
necessary.
Council recognized that CD needs an additional employee to manage future growth.
Trash container ordinance-
Staff spends a lot of time enforcing current (more restrictive) ordinance. Can we shift to a less restrictive
ordinance? Are we making money? Are we making people unnecessarily mad? There is a perception that
city is making money on it. Better to spend time on bad fences and trash outside containers and “free”
stuff on lawn. CD will craft a proposal and bring it to Council.
The additional full time position will be a budget discussion but Council approves the concept. Staff need
to confirm/prove return on investment… are there better processes? If so, try to use them, if not, show
the math.
Economic Development
Council supported the following priorities -
1. Maintain existing businesses so they can grow and expand their workforce
2. Bring in new business, partner differently
3. Redevelop strategies to clean up blight maximize future use.
Council Questions and Discussion:
Does Van Meter know we are trying to help them find dollars? VM has been trying to decide for over a
year. Econ Dev should be more proactive in helping business to grow here. Creating jobs in the city is
beneficial to the city. In the past, CG has tried to bring businesses together. Are there any synergies that
can be found by having a mix of businesses in a location or in our city. Recommend we bring businesses
together to see if there are ways they can collaborate strategically. Existing businesses may be able to help
city focus its recruiting of new businesses and even help with the actual recruiting. City wants to have a
mutual relationship with businesses in that businesses are aware of what city can do for them and what
they can do for the community. Mayor wants city to help businesses expand and grow, support them
(through local or state subsidies, etc.) and get to a position where we can get the businesses we know are
good for CG instead of taking what we can get. City can become catalyst for a web of business
relationships.
Summary Notes for Cottage Grove Council-Staff Retreat 2026 Page 8
A current limiting factor is power and ability of Xcel to bring electricity. Can we find other sources,
providers of power? Lots of restrictions because of rivers. We have to get in line to pay for additional
electrical capacity. Are there other cities with this problem? Do we have other options or do we need to
build relationship with Xcel?
There was a short discussion about other recreational business opportunities such as curling, trampoline,
etc. Could we repurpose industrial into recreational businesses?
As rates drop, do you anticipate increase in opportunities? Access to capital is there, but we need to find
ways to get it. We still need to be looking for increase in Hotel capacity.
Nate should use Chamber of Commerce. How can we use analytics (like ICSC) more? Placer AI is an option
for analytics in Econ Dev, Parks & Rec, Tourism; there is support to explore using them in the future.
US Bank building: haven’t heard anything, appears that they are renovating interior and not vacating.
Mayor would like name of broker for US Bank.
The pros/cons of attending ISCS – goals, who should attend, etc.
Gas station – what is going on with that project
Status of Majestic, can we condemn it? Council says yes.
What does EDA currently own? Show council the map at some point soon.
Yellow Tree status – Mayor wants to attend next neighborhood meeting at Dominion.
City Landscaping
Council supports proposal for more hardscape - “a no brainer.” It is better quality for community, better
safety.
Council Questions:
Any additional opportunity for the Garden Club? They should not be asked to work in right of ways
because it is too dangerous. They are doing about all they can right now.
Can we work with MNDOT to improve appearance of the areas that they maintain?
Can we look at landscaping partnerships/sponsorships? For example: Plants from Gertens with ads, etc.?
Public Works/Parks Relocation
Council Questions and Discussion:
Review sequence of building for clarification and relative costs. If we were to bond, how would we do it?
Do not bond for design. If we bond for $30 million, it costs $2.4 million/year; we could use local option
sales tax.
Would it be reasonable to repurpose, remodel current site? It would cost $23 million and last about 15
years, but expansion would be limited. A benefit of new site is more space to continue to expand.
Staff recommend that CG start process of putting levy dollars toward the construction in order to be ready
five years from now to begin work. Citizens may be more open to parks/public works sales tax project in
the future than they were for recreation sales tax.
Communications Priorities
Council Questions and Discussion:
Mayor supports direction. Appreciates that comms team responds to social media. Likes idea of using
social media influencers (sees its success in his business life) for recreation opportunities that educate CG
community and potential guests.
CM Garza suggests commercials to promote events through DCG like food truck festival.
Summary Notes for Cottage Grove Council-Staff Retreat 2026 Page 9
CM Clausen on social media responses in example of drunk school bus driver… can we tailor posts to turn
off comments to protect individuals or the comments get dangerously negative. Some cities do not allow
ANY comments on their social media posts. City HR policy does direct how employees respond and how
city responds. Desire to be careful.
CM Olsen pleased with changes, current video content. Look at newsletter design, continue it for the older
members of community. Does comms have the tools they need to exercise vision for city? Short answer,
yes.
Mayor – How is podcast doing? Phil Jents explained that there are about 89 downloads per episode. That
may not seem like a lot, but if we compare that to if we had 89 people show up at a meeting… we’d be
impressed!
Is there a possibility of a live cam to promote city?
Fire Standard of Coverage
Council Questions and Discussion:
There was a question about the market value of Station 4 land – about $5-6 per sq. ft.
If we decommission now, it saves about $10K/year because we still need to pay utilities.
How does Standards of Coverage affect insurance rates for businesses? ISO focuses on response rate and
number of responders, not number of stations. Not as important to insurance adjusters. Distance to
station of 10 miles or less is what matters.
Any value of repurposing building? Fire Department is open to it.
What would expansion of Central Fire Station additional bay cost? $1.5mil. Ask if contractor could do work
concurrently. Discussion about savings opportunities.
Does expansion cover capacity needs for future? It would be adequate for at least ten years. Longer term
may need a second station in SW to cover Grey Cloud Island. City will need five-seven years lead time to
fund and build new station.
Is there utility in keeping Station 4 land? Not really based on location. Make sure city does not lose
opportunity to access land.
Any cash for retired ambulances? Not much. Doing a re-chassis is not effective either.
Mayor and council saw staff shortage firsthand when they visited station.
What is math as it relates to FTE and PT – (7 PT = 1 FTE)
Are there potential cost savings if we do not provide EMS? CG would not have reliable emergency
coverage AND fire staffing would still be expensive. If that is true, does it make sense to get rid of partner
communities because of the revenue they generate?
Do we apply for SAFER Grant? There is consensus to hire a grant writer and apply for grant.
East Ravine Park Planning
There were lots of questions about specific land acquisition options and progress.
CM Olsen interested in continuing dialogue about park dedication fees.
Mayor says it’s fair to increase costs for apartment buildings since residents are more likely to use parks.
Financial Management Plan
Is it OK to be outside of target? Not OK with some members of Council but others are not sure we have a
choice because of necessity. Several commented that the city will always have need and debt; always
fighting to catch up. Whole purpose of FMP is to level off cost with growth. Want to “level mountains into
the valleys.” What are our realistic options? Push out expenses? Do without? Not do parks? Not do
pavement management?
Summary Notes for Cottage Grove Council-Staff Retreat 2026 Page 10
From Mayors’ standpoint, FMP hasn’t been followed since the first day we put it in. Every time we kick the
can down the road, we wind up hurting someone and if we don’t take action only gets more expensive.
Our taxes went up, but ours are still lower than most.
Note results of polls:
Summary Notes for Cottage Grove Council-Staff Retreat 2026 Page 11
Is the FMP a commitment to hold the line or a guideline/presumption?
CM Thiede - Guideline that manages expectations for residents. Tells story of what we believe will happen
and then we respond to reality. It will fluctuate but shouldn’t do so too much. City needs to be careful.
CM Garza - it is a guideline, but to kick the can will cost us down the road. Plan is going to move because
we can’t predict future. Need to balance needs of community.
Survey results are consistent with guidance.
Items in the “Parking Lot”
Xcel and power access

Economic Development & Community Development should partner with an analytics firm
Build plan and strategy for next ICSC session
Work with MNDOT to better maintain Hwy 61 access points, move on hardscape, seek landscape

Wrestle with social media to curtail the negative/vitriolic comments on some posts
Consider use of TV or radio commercials, maybe a live cam like the eagle nest in NE
Be aware of need for SW fire station; secure land early, seek right of 1st refusal with Bailey nursery
Very open to revisiting park dedication fees, especially for multi-unit developments
Final comments
Things will work out.
Staff is receptive to guidance… give and take, giving direction.
What’s a reflection on today?
Jennifer – Staff needs and appreciates the feedback. Those nuggets are valuable to keep us on same page.
Brenda – helps with budget
Ryan – helps prioritize since so much impacts Public Works
Paul – learned a lot
Phil – very helpful see where comms fits (and doesn’t) we all have to adapt
Emily – echo Jennifer and Ryan, fantastic for gaining clarity
Zac – prioritization helps, make it all work together
Pete – ditto, appreciates feedback
Nate – very helpful, lots of detail, adapting
CM Garza – appreciation for staff and info they provide, city is growing responsibly, mutual respect
CM Thiede – likes the ideas but always concerned about cost, seen a lot of growth, no animosity,
appreciates conservative approach of finance
CM Clausen – feedback is important and useful
CM Olsen – best city staff because there is no us v. them, Jennifer has broken down walls and ensured
people coming together, this exercise reinforces values, productive, important role for our city and the
interconnectedness of its functions, this council has made it a priority to work well together and with staff
Mayor Bailey – passionate about community, want best for kids and grandkids, how can we work together
to continue high quality of life? Community/public has generally been supportive of council’s efforts even if
they have been reluctant to pay. Positive relationships on council and collaborative relationship with staff
matter. Priorities help us decide but we can still be responsive to opportunities.

Background
Park Dedication Fees
To aid in the city’s effort of providing public recreational facilities to the community, the city requires that
when land develops or is subdivided, land shall be dedicated to the City for public use; or in lieu of
dedicating land, cash shall be paid to the City for purposes of developing recreational facilities. The city
periodically reviews these park dedication requirements to ensure they are fair to development partners
while also providing adequate resources for continuous improvement and expansion of Cottage
Grove’s park and recreation system.
The current park dedication ordinance fees are as follows:
Park Dedication Fees
Single Family $4,900 per unit or 10% of the fair market
value, whichever is greater
Quad Buildings $3,600 per unit or 10% of the fair market
value, whichever is greater
Townhome $3,600 per unit or 10% of the fair market
value, whichever is greater
Multi-Family, Apartment, Independent Sr Living $2,200 per unit or 10% of the fair market
value, whichever is greater
Assisted Living, Skilled Care, Memory Care $8,400 per acre or 10% of the fair market
value, whichever is greater
Commercial $8,400 per acre or 10% of land value
Industrial $8,400 per acre or 10% of land value
The Parks and Recreation Department monitors park dedication requirements in comparable metro
communities annually. Although these comparisons help to benchmark fees, the City should be
primarily focused on the funding it needs to meet its’ own recreational service expectations. Each
community has unique park/trail service level expectations so the associated park dedication fee
structure will be unique to each community as well. Cottage Grove is a rapidly growing community that
is adding to the park system annually and thus is heavily reliant upon park dedication fees for acquiring
and developing park and open space for new homeowners’ enjoyment and wellness. When in the
midst of community growth periods, it is important to remember that each development has a single
opportunity to add to the future park system for generations of enjoyment. The choices made today
have generational impacts.
Park Dedication Impact
Electronic Check Fees (eCheck)
In alignment with the City’s commitment to fiscal stewardship and the principle of full cost
recovery, a new transaction fee of up to 1.9% will be applied to the fee table for payments
processed via electronic check (eCheck).
Historically, the City has absorbed the third-party processing charges associated with these
transactions; however, as digital payment volumes increase, this overhead could become
disproportionate and impact the general fund. By integrating this fee into the standard Fee
Table, we ensure that the direct costs of specialized payment processing are borne by the
users of the service rather than the broader taxpayer base.
Staff Recommendation
Quad Buildings $4,000 per unit per unit or 10% of the fair
market value, whichever is greater

a “first year firefighter” wages and benefits. The SAFER grant would provide $2,298,715 in
financial support over the three-year grant cycle (based on 2026 wages and benefits.) The
estimated City cost share over three years would be approximately $2,451,728. The current
three-year plan to add firefighters without a SAFER grant provides adequate local cost share
planning for a SAFER grant.

Jennifer Levitt, City Administrator
From: Ryan Burfeind, PE, Public Works Director
Date: February 10, 2026
Re: 2026 Federal Lobbying Services Agreement
Background
In 2022, the City of Cottage Grove solicited proposals for federal lobbying services, to assist in
obtaining federal transportation funding through earmarks and the $1.1 trillion infrastructure bill.
Two proposals were obtained from Aurora Strategic Advisors (ASA) and Primacy Strategy
Group. As a primary focus for these services is obtaining funding for the County 19A & 100th
Street Realignment Project (100th Street Project), and ASA’s work with Washington County,
there was a good opportunity for synergy in hiring them. Cottage Grove has continued to work
with ASA, and since that time the City has received Congressionally Directed Spending in the
amounts of $3 million for Shoppes at Cottage Grove and $5 million for the 80th Street
Rehabilitation. An additional $1.667 million has been received for the 100th Street Project.
Discussion
The city will continue to work ASA on federal lobbying in 2026. The City Attorney has drafted a
professional services agreement to cover the scope of work for the 2026 federal legislative
session. City staff have had additional discussions on the scope and cost of our federal
lobbying needs, and the proposed 2026 cost is $40,000, down from $47,200 in 2025.
Recommendation
It is recommended the City Council authorize entering into an agreement with Aurora Strategic
Advisors for federal lobbying services in 2026.

1
City of Cottage Grove Recreational Facility Use Policy
The purpose of the policy is to establish guidelines for priority use of outdoor athletic facilities in the City
of Cottage Grove.
The priority system is a listing from highest to lowest in terms of reserving specific times and facilities by
organizations or groups. Each priority details the following:
• Requirements of the organization/group
• Fees
The City of Cottage Grove reserves the right to determine if an outdoor athletic facility shall be
considered “a scheduled facility” or not. It may be in the public’s best interest to periodically not
schedule specific outdoor athletic fields. Examples for needing to rest a field might include unsafe
conditions, maintenance activity or to make a field available for non-scheduled public general use.
None of the policies herewith in apply to the Ice Arena or River Oaks Golf Course.
Activities directly organized as part of the City of Cottage Grove or directly sponsored by the City as a
cooperative program.
Use - Use will be based on the needs of the program. Needs will be established annually and typically
communicated prior to the Annual Field Scheduling Meeting.
Fees – Class 1 (see reservation forms for detailed fees)
Schools must be located within Cottage Grove and there must be an agreement in place that provides
the City with reciprocal use of the school's outdoor athletic facilities. If no agreement is in place, priority
for that school shall be placed in Priority III.
Use - Use will be limited to weekday activities and concluding prior to or at 3:30 p.m. The types of uses
allowed will be for organized school programs and physical education classes, provided there is no
disruption to the City's normal maintenance of the facilities. Permits after 3:30pm Monday – Friday or
on weekends will be considered Priority III use.
Fees – Class 2 or 3 based on event type (see reservation forms for detailed fees).
City Council Approved Policy 2-17-21

Priority III: Recognized Community Youth (18 and younger) Recreational and Traveling Programs
The twothree currently recognized Priority III organizations in Cottage Grove are the Cottage Grove
Athletic Association (CGAA), and East Ridge Athletic Association (ERAA) and Special Olympics Blazing
Stars.
Priority III recognized association requirements are detailed in Exhibit A of this policy for CGAA and
ERAA. Because of the Special Olympics Blazing Stars regional draw and specialized programming need
for the community, bullet points 1 and 2 in Exhibit A do not apply to this organization.
Recreational programs: Defined as those programs consisting of youth where travel outside of home
facilities and versus teams outside of the recreational league is less than 20%.
Competitive/Traveling programs: Defined as those programs consisting of youth where travel outside of
home facilities and versus teams outside of the recreational league is more than 20%.
Priority III status applies to in-season sports to assure efficient utilization of athletic fields and further
assure that in-season sports are given priority access to facilities over off-season sports. Off-season
permits will be Priority IV or V.
Seasons are defined as:
Spring/Summer Season (April – July)
1. Baseball
2. Softball
3. Soccer
4. Lacrosse
Fall (August – October)
1. Football
2. Fall Soccer (with all local association players and volunteer coaches)
3. Fall Softball (with all local association players and volunteer coaches)
4. Fall Baseball (with all local association players and volunteer coaches)
*Spring/Summer schedules are to be submitted prior to March 1 and Fall schedules prior to July
1. After that deadline, the City will open facilities for rent to Priority IV and V groups.
Use – Fields will be allocated based upon the number of Cottage Grove residents in each sport
requesting outdoor athletic facilities and shall not interfere with Priority I and II use. An Annual Field
Scheduling Meeting will be held to allocate fields for Priority III programs.
If there are unresolved scheduling conflicts, facilities will be allocated based upon the
percentage of Cottage Grove residents within a sport.
For example, if ERAA Baseball has 15% of the combined CGAA/ERAA Cottage Grove
residents rostered within the sport, it would have Priority III access to 15% of total
baseball fields in Cottage Grove.
Where splitting of facilities between CGAA and ERAA occurs, the goal should be to prioritize
servicing those teams that have the most Cottage Grove residents.
City Council Approved Policy 2-17-21
3
For example, if an ERAA U10 Baseball team has the largest percentage of Cottage Grove
residents in its baseball program, that team should receive a higher priority for utilizing
Cottage Grove fields as opposed to a team with very few or no Cottage Grove residents.
Fees – Class 2, 3, or 4 based on event type (see reservation forms for detailed fees).
NOTE: Class 2 fees only apply to games that involve one or more CGAA/ERAA team. If a team permits
for multiple games where two non-CGAA or non-ERAA teams are playing one another (typically as a
result of double-header league scheduling systems), Class 3 hourly field rental fees will be charged for
those specific games assuming CGAA or ERAA is providing complete oversight of the entire days use.
Priority IV: Cottage Grove Resident Groups
Cottage Grove based organizations, businesses, teams, residents not meeting requirements of Priority
III.
Use - Use shall be limited to availability of athletic facilities and shall not interfere with Priorities I-III and
will be processed after Priority I-III permits are in place.
Fees – Class 4 (see reservation forms for detailed fees).
Priority V: Non-Resident Groups
Organizations, businesses, teams, and individuals not residing in Cottage Grove
Use - Use shall be limited to availability of athletic facilities and shall not interfere with Priorities I-IV and
will be processed after Priority I-IV permits are in place.
Fees – Class 5 (see reservation forms for detailed fees).
City Council Approved Policy 2-17-21

Re: Construction Cost Share and Maintenance Agreements with Washington
County for CR 74 Improvements
Background
The City of Cottage Grove is working cooperatively with Washington County on the
County Road 74 Improvements Project. This project will reconstruct County Road 74
(65th Street) from Hastings Avenue in the City of Newport to 600 feet west of Goodview
Avenue South in the City of Cottage Grove. As part of the project, construction cost
share and maintenance agreements with Washington County will need to be executed.
Discussion
Cooperative Agreement for Construction Cost Share
This cooperative agreement for construction outlines the cost participation for the
engineering, construction, and contract administration costs. City construction costs for
the project are determined through Washington County’s construction cost participation
policy. The City’s construction cost share is estimated at $24,538, with a total project
cost estimated at $4,496,983. The City is also responsible for design engineering,
construction engineering, contract administration, and right of way cost share which is
estimated at $3,963. The total engineering, administration and right of way cost
estimate is $959,759.
These breakdowns and the cost share policy are consistent with pre vious City/County
cooperative projects. In total, the City’s cost share is estimated at $28,501. These
numbers are based on the final engineering estimate and will be updated with actual
costs once bids are received.
Cooperative Agreement for Maintenance
The cooperative agreement for maintenance outlines the agency responsibilities for
future maintenance of the improvements to be constructed as part of this project. Per
the agreement, the City will own and maintain municipal utilities and lighting, the City
will perform snow and ice clearing of trails in the project area, and maintain boulevard
areas. The County will own and maintain the pavement, curb and gutter, storm sewer
and trails in the County right of way. These conditions are consistent with past
maintenance agreements with Washington County.

Re: Approve One Year Rental Agreement with MTI for 16ft Mower
Background
In the approved 2026 budget, there are funds to rent a 16ft mower. This has been included in
the budget for the past 5 years with a 50/50 split between the Streets and Utilities divisions.
Staff is requesting to continue to rent a 16ft mower from MTI for $15,750 for one year. A new
rental agreement is needed as the Public Works Department is getting a new machine.
The rental agreement has been reviewed by the City Attorney. MTI is the area Toro vendor
which is why two quotes were not received.
Staff recommends approving the one-year rental agreement with MTI in the amount of $15,750
for 2026.
Recommendation
It is recommended that the City Council approve the one-year rental agreement with MTI for a
16ft mower for $15,750.

120-Day Review Deadline: February 26, 2026
Background
The subject site consists of two wooded, vacant parcels: Outlot D of the Everwood plat and Outlot
B of Frattalone’s Southpoint Ridge. The site contains steep grades, increasing in elevation from
East Point Douglas Road up to a vacant, city-owned parcel (Everwood Outlot C).
A conservation easement in favor of the Minnesota Land Trust was established over what are
now Outlots C and D of the Everwood addition in 1997. In 2007, in response to proposed
development on the parcel, the Everwood plat was recorded , and the conservation easement on
what is now Outlot D was partially vacated below the 860-elevation contour. No development,
including structures or grading, may occur on site above the 860 contour. A trail easement running
from the north property line to an area below the 860 contour remains in effect in favor of the Land
Trust and the City of Cottage Grove. The easement documents reference a “Farm Road” that was
originally on the property and still remains as a dirt path in some areas. The northerly 60 percent
of the Farm Road must be maintained in a natural condition in its existing location while the lower
40 percent may be amended if development occurs ; however, pedestrian access shall still be
provided to East Point Douglas Road.
Site Conditions

The existing trail easement, recorded as Document Number 3674924, is the northerly 60 percent
of the Farm Road.
Trail Easement
The 2007 development did not come to fruition; however, all future development must abide by
the amended conservation easement development restrictions. There have been other
development proposals on the property since 2007; however, none of these have been
established.
Planning Considerations
Use
The Applicant is proposing a market-rate apartment building consisting of 186 units.
There is a high demand for multi-family housing provided by this project due to limited availability
in the city. The 2024 Housing Needs Analysis completed by Maxfield Research and Consulting
identified a strong demand for multi-family rental units in Cottage Grove. A 2.7 percent vacancy
rate was documented within market-rate rental units when equilibrium is considered to be 5
percent. During Maxfield’s research period, the Norhart market -rate rental project was expected
to begin construction; therefore, the recommendation was to hold on additional market-rate units.
With the Norhart multi-family project being abandoned, those 299 proposed units are left unfilled
and there is room in the market for the proposed 186 market-rate units.
Honorable Mayor, City Council, and Jennifer Levitt
Yellow Tree Development – SP/PUD/PP/FP 2025-030
February 11, 2026
Page 4 of 18
The Maxfield study noted that three -bedroom units account for the highest proportion of market-
rate units in Cottage Grove, which is dissimilar to other communities. The unit types proposed
include studios to three bedrooms, with a majority of the units being a one-bedroom variety. The
location is ideally situated for the proposed project given its proximity to the following:
• Gateway North Shopping Center (grocery, restaurant, services, etc.)
• Park Grove Library
• Camels Hump Park
• Access to transit options
The proposed amenities include a sky lounge with roof deck, fitness center, yoga studio, work
from home stations, and community rooms with kitchen and gaming areas. Outdoor amenities will
include a pool and amenity deck with turf area for yard games, patio space, grilling stations, and
a sauna. There will also be a trail connection established on site to connect to the City -owned
property to the north within the established conservation easement.
Amenity Areas
Comprehensive Plan
As part of the comprehensive planning process, state law requires cities in the seven-county met-
ropolitan area to include standards, plans, and programs for providing adequate housing oppor -
tunities to meet existing and projected local and regional housing needs. One of the primary goals
in the Cottage Grove 2040 Comprehensive Plan is to provide a diverse mix of housing types that
are needed to serve all income levels and stages in the life cycle. The proposed development
fulfills this goal as it provides a rental housing option for the community where there is a docu -
mented need for rental housing options, particularly one- and two-bedroom varieties. The pro-
posed project also meets the following additional goals and policies found in the Comprehensive
Plan:
• The proposed development provides residential housing near economic centers.
• The proposed development provides opportunities for alternative housing types that increase
density and is responsive to the site and surrounding areas.
Honorable Mayor, City Council, and Jennifer Levitt
Yellow Tree Development – SP/PUD/PP/FP 2025-030
February 11, 2026
Page 5 of 18
• Encourages the infilling of housing in urban areas that make more efficient use of existing
infrastructure.
• Provides opportunities for alternative housing types and patterns, such as planned unit devel-
opments, mixed-uses, and other techniques that reduce development costs, increase density,
and achieve projects that are flexible and responsive to the site and surroundings.
Land Use and Zoning
The 2040 Comprehensive Plan Land Use Plan guides the subject site as Mixed Use. The permit -
ted density in this district is 20 to 40 units per acre. The proposed density of the project is in
conformance with the district standard with 30.39 units per acre. The subject site is zoned Mixed
Use, and apartment buildings are permitted uses in the district.
Preliminary and Final Plat
The submitted plat (Everwood 6th Addition) proposes to combine Everwood Outlot D (5.03 acres)
and Frattalone’s Southpoint Ridge Outlot B (1.09 acres) into one 6.12 -acre parcel. The existing
parcels are in two different plats and to combine land in different plats, a new plat must be
recorded. Outlot B of Frattalone's Southpoint Ridge is owned by the City of Cottage Grove. The
Applicant is proposing to purchase Outlot B from the City for access to the proposed apartment
building on Outlot D due to site constraints, topography, and safety of proposed access points on
the East Point Douglas curve. Staff is agreeable to the land sale provided the Applicant provides
a trail connection from the East Point Douglas sidewalk to the existing trail easement that is a part
of the existing conservation easement on Outlot D. No portions of Outlot B are within the
conservation easement.
Planned Unit Development
The Planned Unit Development (PUD) is a zoning tool that provides additional flexibility for devel -
opment that an underlying zoning district would not otherwise allow. For example, a PUD may
make exceptions to setbacks, parking requirements, building height, etc. Due to site constraints ,
including the restriction on development above the 860 contour and site topography , the Applicant
is proposing building height, building setback, parking lot setback, architectural material
percentage, and parking ratio flexibility. In return for this flexibility, the Applicant will install a
natural trail segment along the north side of the proposed parking lot creating a public pedestrian
connection from the East Point Douglas sidewalk to the area beyond the 860 contour/conservation
easement area. Additionally, architectural materials on the portions of the structure fa cing the
street will exceed the minimum 65 percent Class 1 or 2 material percentage required. The
proposed development meets or exceeds all other zoning code requirements.

Site Plan Review
The Applicant is proposing to construct a six-story apartment building with four levels of residential
and two levels of covered parking. Due to the existing trail easement and site constraints, the
Applicant has requested that building setbacks and parkin g lot setbacks be reduced using the
Planned Unit Development. The minimum setback for the building will be ten feet from the south
and east property lines. A ten-foot setback ensures the building is not located in any drainage and
utility easements. There are existing right-of-way parcels owned by the city and MnDOT that add
a distance buffer from East Point Douglas Road to the proposed building on the east and south
sides. The existing sidewalk and right-of-way width will provide an eight-foot-wide buffer from the
sidewalk on the southwest side of the project area to a proposed retaining wall along the south -
west property line.
Lot Development Performance Standards
*Proposed plans show a 77-foot building height to the top of the parapet of the proposed building. City Code
Title 11-3-3 Height Limit Modifications, allows parapet walls to extend not more than three feet above the
limiting height of the building.
Parking and Site Access
The Applicant is proposing one access to the site from East Point Douglas Road. The proposed
access crosses onto city-owned property (Outlot B of Frattalone’s Southpoint Ridge). Given the
proposed infrastructure over a city-owned lot, the Applicant shall take ownership of the additional
lot and plat the two lots into one parcel.
There will be space provided along the west side of the building for a firetruck turnaround using
mountable curbs at the hardscaped building entrance. The submittal shows two parking spaces
being used for the firetruck turnaround. This area must be marked as a designated fire lane per
the Fire Marshal, which will result in the loss of some spaces on the east side of the parking lot.

Revised Fire Truck Turnaround
City Code requires a minimum of 1.6 spaces per unit for apartment buildings or a total of 298
parking spaces for the proposed 186 dwelling units. The Applicant is requesting flexibility to re -
duce the number of parking stalls onsite via the PUD. The site plan shows 3 8 surface parking
stalls and 258 garage parking stalls for a total of 296 proposed stalls. To accommodate fire truck
turning radius on the hardscaped area along the west side of the building, t wo parking spaces
may be lost in this area to be ded icated as a fire lane. It is proposed to reduce the proposed
parking to 294 total spaces and a parking ratio of 1.58 spaces per unit. The Applicant must submit
updated parking calculations and show a fire lane prior to the issuance of a building permit.
The garage parking stalls will be on two levels of the structure. The development is primarily (85
percent) composed of one bedroom style units. The proposed reduction in the required parking
ratio is similar to the Legends of Cottage Grove and Roers Apartments , which had 1.2 and 1.5
spaces per unit respectively.
Traffic
Recent developments occurring along Hardwood Avenue (Aurilla Apartments, The View Apart -
ments, Pizza Ranch, Chase Bank, and O2B Kids Daycare) and the future construction of the
Roers Apartments at the end of East Point Douglas Road will contribute to the t raffic within this
corridor. A traffic analysis was completed indicating no additional traffic improvements required to
support full development of this corridor.
Based on the ITE Trip Generation Manual, 11th Edition, it is estimated that the Roers and Yellow
Tree projects combined would generate approximately 1,490 daily trips based on the proposed
unit count. The current daily traffic volume on East Point Douglas Road is approximately 1,100
vehicles per day. The additional trips, combined with the current traffic, will total an estimated
2,600 vehicles per day. East Point Douglas Road capacity would be further evaluated if the trip
counts were approaching 4,000-5,000 vehicles per day. In consideration of the fact that this parcel
is the last remaining developable parcel along this corridor, East Point Douglas Road will not
reach its design capacity with construction of this project. Studies of East Point Douglas Roa d
and Hardwood Avenue found both roadways have sufficient capacity to handle the additional trips
proposed.
Honorable Mayor, City Council, and Jennifer Levitt
Yellow Tree Development – SP/PUD/PP/FP 2025-030
February 11, 2026
Page 8 of 18
Additionally, the study looked at the intersection of Hardwood Avenue and East Point Douglas
Road, and upon review, the additional trips generated by these apartment buildings do not meet
the warrants for an all-way stop control at this intersection at this time. The intersection could
experience additional queuing during peak hours; however, the roadway is currently designed to
accommodate the additional queuing.
As with all areas of the community experiencing additional growth, staff continues to evaluate and
analyze intersections and roadway corridors to ensure any required upgrades or improvements
are being programmed into the City’s 5-year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) for implementation
as necessary.
Site Lighting
The Applicant is required to submit a lighting plan that identifies pole heights and lumen levels
throughout the site. The submitted photometric plan proposes four LED parking lot light poles,
four architectural downlights along the southwest sidewalk, and three wall mounted lights above
the two exterior doors and the garage entrance. Per City Code, any lighting shall be directed away
from any adjoining residential property or from the public streets and be compatible with adjacent
lighting in adjoining districts. The Applicant is required to update their photometric plan to show
lumens at all property lines and ensure all measurements are 0.5-foot candles or less at property
lines abutting residential zones and uses prior to the issuance of a building permit.
Tree Preservation and Mitigation
City code requires mitigation if more than 40 percent of the existing qualifying trees on site are
removed as part of the development process. Due to the conservation easement restriction on
tree removal above the 860 contour line, a significant number of trees will be protected on -site.
There are 4,023 qualifying tree inches on site. The Applicant has proposed to remove 906 quali-
fying inches, or 22.5 percent of all qualifying inches; therefore, mitigation is not required.

Landscaping
The Applicant has submitted a detailed landscaping plan. The City’s Zoning Code requires one
tree per 40 linear feet of site perimeter. With 1,991 linear feet of site perimeter, a total of 50 trees
is required to be planted on site. Of these 50 trees, 30 percent or 15 of them, must be coniferous
trees. Shrubs must be planted on site at a ratio of one per five linear feet of site perimeter ;
therefore, 398 shrubs are required on site. The minimum landscaping requirements are shown in
the table below.
Parking lots with more than 25 spaces shall contain interior landscaped islands making up at least
8 percent of the parking lot size area. The proposed parking lot contain s landscaped bump-outs
that equal 15.9 percent landscaped area.
Two right of way parcels owned by the City of Cottage Grove and MnDOT abut the property on
the east and south sides respectively. These parcels currently have brush and overgrowth present
with some trees of significance. To meet City Code requirements to maintain property to the back
of curb, the Applicant will be responsible for thinning the overgrowth and brush on these parcels.
The eastern parcel owned by the City will be overseeded to ensure vegetative growth due to steep
slopes where sod would not likely survive. The southern parcel owned by MnDOT must be sodded
and irrigated to the back of the sidewalk along East Point Douglas Road. The developer will be
responsible for long term maintenance of the southern parcel owned by MnDOT. As a condition
of approval, planning staff shall review and approve a final landscaping plan prior to the issuance
of a building permit.

The City’s Zoning Code requires an apartment to utilize three Class 1 materials as outlined in the
City’s Code and be composed of at least 65 percent Class 1 or 2 materials. Class 1 and 2 mate -
rials include the following:
Class 1
o Fired clay face brick.
o Natural stone, synthetic or cultured stone.
o Transparent glass, opaque or mirror window panels.
Class 2
• Concrete brick
• Masonry stucco/synthetic stucco.

The Applicant has requested flexibility in the percentage of Class 1 and 2 materials via the PUD.
The Applicant would utilize 61 percent Class 1 and 2 materials on the building. The Applicant has
given consideration to the look of the building from East Point Douglas Road by ensuring over 65
percent of materials on the street-facing portions of the building will be composed of Class 1
materials. The proposed reduction in Class 1 and 2 materials is similar to the Roers project ap -
proved in 2024, which allowed 61 percent Class 1 and 2 materials with consideration given to
ensure 65 percent of materials facing Highway 61 were Class 1 or 2.
Southeast Wall Materials (Street Facing)
Class 1 - Brick 10.9%

Class 3 – Metal Panel 1.5%
Total Class 3 25%
Title 11-1-3 of the City Code defines building height as “The vertical distance from the average
elevation of the adjoining ground level, or the established grade adjacent to the building, which -
ever is lower, to the top of the roof.” The maximum permitted height in the Mixed-Use District is
55 feet. Due to site topography, the Applicant designed the building so that the front of the building
will have more wall face exposed than the rear of the building where the structure will be con -
structed into the hillside. The building is proposed to be 77 feet tall from the lowest adjacent grade
to the top of the parapet. Three feet of parapet height may be subtracted from total height resulting
in a total height of 74 feet. Due to the changing adjacent grades around the structure, the shortest
portion of the building as measured from lowest adjacent grade will be 45 feet in height.
East Elevation
The proposed height of the building would generally be similar to the west side of the Legends of
Cottage Grove across East Point Douglas Road, which is 73 feet in height to the top of the gabled
roof. The increased height is proposed to be approved via the Planned Unit Development.

Sidewalk and Trails
An existing unpaved natural trail runs through the center of the parcel connecting East Point
Douglas Road to Aspen Cove to the north. There is an existing trail easement that is part of the
conservation easement established in favor of the City and Minnes ota Land Trust in 2007 that
cannot be amended. The intent of the easement was to facilitate a pedestrian connection from
East Point Douglas Road northwards over a historic unpaved Farm Road, up the hillside to an
overlook point established in the conservation easement. The trail continues to Aspen Cove. As
part of the development project, the Applicant is proposing to reconfigure the connection to East
Point Douglas Road to the west side of the property by installing a light -gravel trail segment along
the rear of the proposed building and parking areas. The portion of the existing trail ou tside of the
recorded easement may be reconfigured per the Land Trust. The Land Trust is aware of the
proposed reconfiguration and supports the proposal. The trail segment within the easement will
remain unpaved as recommended by the Land Trust. The Land Trust has reviewed the proposed
trail configuration proposed grading within the trail easement and did not have any issues with the
proposal. The Applicant shall place an easement over the trail corridor on the final plat and enter
into a Trail Maintenance Agreement with the City. The submitted plans also show an internal
sidewalk system that connects to the existing sidewalk on East Point Douglas Road.

Pedestrian Plan
To access areas off-site, pedestrians will utilize the existing sidewalk on East Point Douglas Road
to get to the pedestrian trail along Hardwood Avenue. There are not marked pedestrian crossings
at the East Point Douglas and Hardwood intersection nor at the Hardwood Avenue and Harkness
Avenue intersection due to sight line restrictions and safety concerns. A marked pedstrian
crossing will not be added at East Point Douglas and Hardwood because it could give pedestrians
a false sense of security that crossing there would be safe. As part of the installation of a new
traffic signal at Hardwood Avenue and Hardwood Court in 2025 the pedestrian ramps and painted
crosswalk lines were removed at Hardwood and Harkness to encourage safe crossings at the
new signal. Adding a trail behind Kohls to shorten the travel distance for pedestrians is not an
option at this time due to steep grades that would make constructing an ADA accessible pathway
difficult. Crossing East Point Douglas from the proposed development to the Kohls area is also
unsafe due to sight line distances at the curve. Staff will continue to review pedestrian patterns in
the area as development is established.

Off-Site Pedestrian Connectivity
Park Land and Open Space
A minimum of 10 percent of the developable land area shall be required to provide residents with
public recreation facilities (0.61 acres for this project), including parks and open spaces, as a part
of development projects per City Code Title 10 -4-3. The City’s Comprehensive Plan shows a
recreation trail connection across the parcel connecting East Point Douglas Road to Camels
Hump Park. The Applicant has proposed to construct a natural trail connection in compliance with
the Comprehensive Plan and conservation easement. The existing trail easement and conserva-
tion easement are credited towards 10 percent of land needed. The total area of conservation
easement plus trail easement equals 1.25 acres; therefore, park dedication requirements are met.
Utilities
The subject property is located within the Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA). The devel -
opment is planned to connect to available sanitary sewer and watermain stubs located within East
Point Douglas Road.
Grading and Stormwater
The site grading for the project is proposed to meet the requirements established by the State,
Watershed District, and the City’s Surface Water Management Plan. The development’s storm -
water management plan calls for the construction of a private undergro und stormwater manage-
ment system within the parking lot. Additionally, the Applicant is proposing to construct a
biofiltration basin along the south side of the site. The underground system and the biofilter will
be privately owned and maintained; therefore, a private maintenance agreement will be required
Honorable Mayor, City Council, and Jennifer Levitt

to be executed and recorded with the property. Treated stormwater runoff from the site will dis -
charge into existing City storm sewer infrastructure in the southwest area of the site.
Due to the nature of the site, the building will be constructed into the hillside , and retaining walls,
as high as approximately 15 feet, are proposed around the building. Staff has requested that the
Applicant provide additional details regarding retaining wall construction materials and methods.
Additional engineering analysis will be completed when those details have been provided.
Area Charges
The Applicant will be responsible for paying all associated Area Charges for Outlot D Everwood.
Area Charges for Outlot B Frattalone’s Southpoint Ridge were paid at the time of platting in 2007.
Neighborhood Meeting
A neighborhood meeting at the Legends Apartments is scheduled for February 26, 2026.
Representatives from Yellow Tree and the City will be in attendance to discuss the project and
answer questions.
Public Hearing Notices
Notices announcing the Planning Commission public hearing were published in the St. Paul
Pioneer Press and mailed to 11 property owners within 500 feet of the proposed development
property on December 3, 2025.
Planning Commission Meeting
The City’s Planning Commission reviewed and held a public hearing for the request at their
December 15, 2025, meeting. There were no residents that participated in the public hearing. The
Planning Commission asked questions about the Planned Unit Development rationale, traffic
impacts, and pedestrian connectivity and safety.
The Planning Commission voted 3-to-1 to recommend the City Council approve the requests.

Tax Abatement in Support of Housing Request
The City received a public financial assistance request from Yellow Tree Development for the
proposed development. Since the project does not qualify for Tax Increment Financing because
they are building market rate units and the site is vacant with no bli ghted buildings, it would not
qualify as a redevelopment project; therefore, they are requesting assistance in the form of an
Abatement of the City’s portion of the taxes.
Construction is anticipated to cost approximately $45,646,074 or $245,409 per unit. The
developer cited a financial gap in their financial projections for the project and requested that the
City abate 10 years of their portion of the taxes. The present value of 10 years of abatement is
$1,241,000 at 5.50%. Ehlers has reviewed the request and supports the use of tax abatement for
this project.
The proposed structure of the abatement is to have higher amounts of the gross abatement being
dedicated to the development in the earlier years and tapering off in the later years , which is
referenced in the chart below. Based on a review of the current budget, proforma, and abatement
projections, the proposed development would require 10 years of abatement with a principal or
present value of the abatement being no more than $1,241,000.
A “lookback” provision has been negotiated to ensure the public assistance was set at an
appropriate level and to right-size the Abatement Note prior to delivery. The cost-based lookback
would include a two-to-one reduction in abatement assistance principal if the actual total
development costs are below the cost presented by the developer with a $100,000 buffer.
An agreement has been drafted and signed by the developer including the lookback provision.

whatsoever an assumption by Buyer of any agreements, indebtedness, obligations or
liabilities of City which are owing with respect to the operation of the Property prior to the
Closing Date.
10.4. Mortgages. On or before the Closing Date, City shall satisfy all mortgage

petitions for the Approvals, Land Use Entitlements and any special use permits and

COMPLETE ALL SWPPP CHANGES. CHANGES INVOLVING THE USE OF A LESS STRINGENT BMP MUST INCLUDE A
JUSTIFICATION DESCRIBING HOW THE REPLACEMENT BMP IS EFFECTIVE FOR THE SITE CHARACTERISTICS.
2.PERMITTEES MUST AMEND THE SWPPP TO INCLUDE ADDITIONAL OR MODIFIED BMPS AS NECESSARY TO
CORRECT PROBLEMS IDENTIFIED OR ADDRESS SITUATIONS WHENEVER THERE IS A CHANGE IN DESIGN,
CONSTRUCTION, OPERATION, MAINTENANCE, WEATHER OR SEASONAL CONDITIONS HAVING A SIGNIFICANT
EFFECT ON THE DISCHARGE OF POLLUTANTS TO SURFACE WATERS OR GROUNDWATER.
3.PERMITTEES MUST AMEND THE SWPPP TO INCLUDE ADDITIONAL OR MODIFIED BMPS AS NECESSARY TO
CORRECT PROBLEMS IDENTIFIED OR ADDRESS SITUATIONS WHENEVER INSPECTIONS OR INVESTIGATIONS BY
THE SITE OWNER OR OPERATOR, USEPA OR MPCA OFFICIALS INDICATE THE SWPPP IS NOT EFFECTIVE IN
ELIMINATING OR SIGNIFICANTLY MINIMIZING THE DISCHARGE OF POLLUTANTS TO SURFACE WATERS OR
GROUNDWATER OR THE DISCHARGES ARE CAUSING WATER QUALITY STANDARD EXCEEDANCES (E.G.,
NUISANCE CONDITIONS AS DEFINED IN MINN. R. 7050.0210, SUBP. 2) OR THE SWPPP IS NOT CONSISTENT WITH
THE OBJECTIVES OF A USEPA APPROVED TMDL.
BMP SELECTION AND INSTALLATION (SECTION 7):
1.PERMITTEES MUST SELECT, INSTALL, AND MAINTAIN THE BMPS IDENTIFIED IN THE SWPPP AND IN THIS PERMIT
IN AN APPROPRIATE AND FUNCTIONAL MANNER AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH RELEVANT MANUFACTURER
SPECIFICATIONS AND ACCEPTED ENGINEERING PRACTICES.
EROSION PREVENTION (SECTION 8):
1.BEFORE WORK BEGINS, PERMITTEES MUST DELINEATE THE LOCATION OF AREAS NOT TO BE DISTURBED.
2.PERMITTEES MUST MINIMIZE THE NEED FOR DISTURBANCE OF PORTIONS OF THE PROJECT WITH STEEP
SLOPES. WHEN STEEP SLOPES MUST BE DISTURBED, PERMITTEES MUST USE TECHNIQUES SUCH AS PHASING
AND STABILIZATION PRACTICES DESIGNED FOR STEEP SLOPES (E.G., SLOPE DRAINING AND TERRACING).
3.PERMITTEES MUST STABILIZE ALL EXPOSED SOIL AREAS, INCLUDING STOCKPILES. STABILIZATION MUST BE
INITIATED IMMEDIATELY TO LIMIT SOIL EROSION WHEN CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITY HAS PERMANENTLY OR
TEMPORARILY CEASED ON ANY PORTION OF THE SITE AND WILL NOT RESUME FOR A PERIOD EXCEEDING 14
CALENDAR DAYS. STABILIZATION MUST BE COMPLETED NO LATER THAN 14 CALENDAR DAYS AFTER THE
CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITY HAS CEASED. STABILIZATION IS NOT REQUIRED ON CONSTRUCTED BASE
COMPONENTS OF ROADS, PARKING LOTS AND SIMILAR SURFACES. STABILIZATION IS NOT REQUIRED ON
TEMPORARY STOCKPILES WITHOUT SIGNIFICANT SILT, CLAY OR ORGANIC COMPONENTS (E.G., CLEAN
AGGREGATE STOCKPILES, DEMOLITION CONCRETE STOCKPILES, SAND STOCKPILES) BUT PERMITTEES MUST
PROVIDE SEDIMENT CONTROLS AT THE BASE OF THE STOCKPILE.
4.FOR PUBLIC WATERS THAT THE MINNESOTA DNR HAS PROMULGATED "WORK IN WATER RESTRICTIONS" DURING
SPECIFIED FISH SPAWNING TIME FRAMES, PERMITTEES MUST COMPLETE STABILIZATION OF ALL EXPOSED SOIL
AREAS WITHIN 200 FEET OF THE WATER'S EDGE, AND THAT DRAIN TO THESE WATERS, WITHIN 24 HOURS
DURING THE RESTRICTION PERIOD.
5.PERMITTEES MUST STABILIZE THE NORMAL WETTED PERIMETER OF THE LAST 200 LINEAR FEET OF
TEMPORARY OR PERMANENT DRAINAGE DITCHES OR SWALES THAT DRAIN WATER FROM THE SITE WITHIN 24
HOURS AFTER CONNECTING TO A SURFACE WATER OR PROPERTY EDGE. PERMITTEES MUST COMPLETE
STABILIZATION OF REMAINING PORTIONS OF TEMPORARY OR PERMANENT DITCHES OR SWALES WITHIN 14
CALENDAR DAYS AFTER CONNECTING TO A SURFACE WATER OR PROPERTY EDGE AND CONSTRUCTION IN
THAT PORTION OF THE DITCH TEMPORARILY OR PERMANENTLY CEASES.
6.TEMPORARY OR PERMANENT DITCHES OR SWALES BEING USED AS A SEDIMENT CONTAINMENT SYSTEM
DURING CONSTRUCTION (WITH PROPERLY DESIGNED ROCK-DITCH CHECKS, BIO ROLLS, SILT DIKES, ETC.) DO
NOT NEED TO BE STABILIZED. PERMITTEES MUST STABILIZE THESE AREAS WITHIN 24 HOURS AFTER THEIR USE
AS A SEDIMENT CONTAINMENT SYSTEM CEASES
7.PERMITTEES MUST NOT USE MULCH, HYDROMULCH, TACKIFIER, POLYACRYLAMIDE OR SIMILAR EROSION
PREVENTION PRACTICES WITHIN ANY PORTION OF THE NORMAL WETTED PERIMETER OF A TEMPORARY OR
PERMANENT DRAINAGE DITCH OR SWALE SECTION WITH A CONTINUOUS SLOPE OF GREATER THAN 2 PERCENT.
8.PERMITTEES MUST PROVIDE TEMPORARY OR PERMANENT ENERGY DISSIPATION AT ALL PIPE OUTLETS WITHIN
24 HOURS AFTER CONNECTION TO A SURFACE WATER OR PERMANENT STORMWATER TREATMENT SYSTEM.
9.PERMITTEES MUST NOT DISTURB MORE LAND (I.E., PHASING) THAN CAN BE EFFECTIVELY INSPECTED AND
MAINTAINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 11.
SEDIMENT CONTROL (SECTION 9):
1.PERMITTEES MUST ESTABLISH SEDIMENT CONTROL BMPS ON ALL DOWNGRADIENT PERIMETERS OF THE SITE
AND DOWNGRADIENT AREAS OF THE SITE THAT DRAIN TO ANY SURFACE WATER, INCLUDING CURB AND
GUTTER SYSTEMS. PERMITTEES MUST LOCATE SEDIMENT CONTROL PRACTICES UPGRADIENT OF ANY BUFFER
ZONES. PERMITTEES MUST INSTALL SEDIMENT CONTROL PRACTICES BEFORE ANY UPGRADIENT
LAND-DISTURBING ACTIVITIES BEGIN AND MUST KEEP THE SEDIMENT CONTROL PRACTICES IN PLACE UNTIL
THEY ESTABLISH PERMANENT COVER.
2.IF DOWNGRADIENT SEDIMENT CONTROLS ARE OVERLOADED, BASED ON FREQUENT FAILURE OR EXCESSIVE
MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS, PERMITTEES MUST INSTALL ADDITIONAL UPGRADIENT SEDIMENT CONTROL
PRACTICES OR REDUNDANT BMPS TO ELIMINATE THE OVERLOADING AND AMEND THE SWPPP TO IDENTIFY
THESE ADDITIONAL PRACTICES AS REQUIRED IN ITEM 6.3.
3.TEMPORARY OR PERMANENT DRAINAGE DITCHES AND SEDIMENT BASINS DESIGNED AS PART OF A SEDIMENT
CONTAINMENT SYSTEM (E.G., DITCHES WITH ROCK-CHECK DAMS) REQUIRE SEDIMENT CONTROL PRACTICES
ONLY AS APPROPRIATE FOR SITE CONDITIONS.
4.A FLOATING SILT CURTAIN PLACED IN THE WATER IS NOT A SEDIMENT CONTROL BMP TO SATISFY ITEM 9.2
EXCEPT WHEN WORKING ON A SHORELINE OR BELOW THE WATERLINE. IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE SHORT TERM
CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITY (E.G., INSTALLATION OF RIP RAP ALONG THE SHORELINE) IN THAT AREA IS
COMPLETE, PERMITTEES MUST INSTALL AN UPLAND PERIMETER CONTROL PRACTICE IF EXPOSED SOILS STILL
DRAIN TO A SURFACE WATER.
5.PERMITTEES MUST RE-INSTALL ALL SEDIMENT CONTROL PRACTICES ADJUSTED OR REMOVED TO
ACCOMMODATE SHORT-TERM ACTIVITIES SUCH AS CLEARING OR GRUBBING, OR PASSAGE OF VEHICLES,
IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE SHORT-TERM ACTIVITY IS COMPLETED. PERMITTEES MUST RE-INSTALL SEDIMENT
CONTROL PRACTICES BEFORE THE NEXT PRECIPITATION EVENT EVEN IF THE SHORT-TERM ACTIVITY IS NOT
COMPLETE.
6.PERMITTEES MUST PROTECT ALL STORM DRAIN INLETS USING APPROPRIATE BMPS DURING CONSTRUCTION
UNTIL THEY ESTABLISH PERMANENT COVER ON ALL AREAS WITH POTENTIAL FOR DISCHARGING TO THE INLET.
7.PERMITTEES MAY REMOVE INLET PROTECTION FOR A PARTICULAR INLET IF A SPECIFIC SAFETY CONCERN (E.G.
STREET FLOODING/FREEZING) IS IDENTIFIED BY THE PERMITTEES OR THE JURISDICTIONAL AUTHORITY (E.G.,
CITY/COUNTY/TOWNSHIP/MINNESOTA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION ENGINEER). PERMITTEES MUST
DOCUMENT THE NEED FOR REMOVAL IN THE SWPPP.
8.PERMITTEES MUST PROVIDE SILT FENCE OR OTHER EFFECTIVE SEDIMENT CONTROLS AT THE BASE OF
STOCKPILES ON THE DOWNGRADIENT PERIMETER.
9.PERMITTEES MUST LOCATE STOCKPILES OUTSIDE OF NATURAL BUFFERS OR SURFACE WATERS, INCLUDING
STORMWATER CONVEYANCES SUCH AS CURB AND GUTTER SYSTEMS UNLESS THERE IS A BYPASS IN PLACE
FOR THE STORMWATER.
10. PERMITTEES MUST INSTALL A VEHICLE TRACKING BMP TO MINIMIZE THE TRACK OUT OF SEDIMENT FROM THE
CONSTRUCTION SITE OR ONTO PAVED ROADS WITHIN THE SITE.
11. PERMITTEES MUST USE STREET SWEEPING IF VEHICLE TRACKING BMPS ARE NOT ADEQUATE TO PREVENT
SEDIMENT TRACKING ONTO THE STREET.
12. PERMITTEES MUST INSTALL TEMPORARY SEDIMENT BASINS AS REQUIRED IN SECTION 14.
13. IN ANY AREAS OF THE SITE WHERE FINAL VEGETATIVE STABILIZATION WILL OCCUR, PERMITTEES MUST
RESTRICT VEHICLE AND EQUIPMENT USE TO MINIMIZE SOIL COMPACTION.
14. PERMITTEES MUST PRESERVE TOPSOIL ON THE SITE, UNLESS INFEASIBLE.
15. PERMITTEES MUST DIRECT DISCHARGES FROM BMPS TO VEGETATED AREAS UNLESS INFEASIBLE.
16. PERMITTEES MUST PRESERVE A 50 FOOT NATURAL BUFFER OR, IF A BUFFER IS INFEASIBLE ON THE SITE,
PROVIDE REDUNDANT (DOUBLE) PERIMETER SEDIMENT CONTROLS WHEN A SURFACE WATER IS LOCATED
WITHIN 50 FEET OF THE PROJECT'S EARTH DISTURBANCES AND STORMWATER FLOWS TO THE SURFACE

FACILITY MANAGEMENT SCHEDULE
1.ALL STORMWATER RETENTION, DETENTION AND TREATMENT BASINS MUST BE INSPECTED AT LEAST ONCE A YEAR TO DETERMINE
THAT BASIN RETENTION AND TREATMENT CHARACTERISTICS ARE ADEQUATE. A STORAGE TREATMENT BASIN WILL BE
CONSIDERED INADEQUATE IF SEDIMENT HAS DECREASED THE WET STORAGE VOLUME BY 50 PERCENT OR DRY STORAGE VOLUME
BY 25 PERCENT OF ITS ORIGINAL DESIGN VOLUME. BASED ON THIS INSPECTION, IF A STORMWATER BASIN REQUIRES SEDIMENT
CLEANOUT, THE BASIN WILL BE RESTORED TO ITS ORIGINAL DESIGN CONTOURS AND VEGETATED STATE WITHIN ONE YEAR OF THE
INSPECTION DATE.
2.ALL GRIT CHAMBERS, SUMP CATCH BASINS, SUMP MANHOLES, OUTLET STRUCTURES, CULVERTS, OUTFALL STRUCTURES AND
OTHER STORMWATER FACILITIES FOR WHICH MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS ARE NOT OTHERWISE SPECIFIED HEREIN MUST BE
INSPECTED IN THE SPRING, SUMMER AND FALL OF EACH YEAR. WITHIN 30 DAYS OF THE INSPECTION DATE, ALL ACCUMULATED
SEDIMENT AND DEBRIS MUST BE REMOVED SUCH THAT EACH STORMWATER FACILITY OPERATES AS DESIGNED AND PERMITTED.
CONTRIBUTING DRAINAGE AREAS MUST BE KEPT CLEAR OF LITTER AND VEGETATIVE DEBRIS, INFLOW PIPES AND OVERFLOW
SPILLWAYS KEPT CLEAR, INLET AREAS KEPT CLEAN, AND UNDESIRABLE VEGETATION REMOVED. EROSION IMPAIRING THE FUNCTION
OR INTEGRITY OF THE FACILITIES, IF ANY, WILL BE CORRECTED, AND ANY STRUCTURAL DAMAGE IMPAIRING OR THREATENING TO
IMPAIR THE FUNCTION OF THE FACILITIES MUST BE REPAIRED.
3.VOLUME CONTROL FACILITIES AND CONTRIBUTING DRAINAGE AREAS MUST BE INSPECTED EVERY THREE MONTHS DURING THE
OPERATIONAL PERIOD (BETWEEN SPRING SNOWMELT AND FIRST SUBSTANTIAL SNOWFALL) AND MONITORED AFTER RAINFALL
EVENTS OF 1 INCH OR MORE TO ENSURE THAT THE CONTRIBUTING DRAINAGE AREA IS CLEAR OF LITTER AND DEBRIS, INFLOW
PIPES AND OVERFLOW SPILLWAYS ARE CLEAR, INLET AREAS ARE CLEAN, UNDESIRABLE VEGETATION IS REMOVED AND THERE IS NO
EROSION IMPAIRING OR THREATENING TO IMPAIR THE FUNCTION OF A FACILITY. IF SEDIMENT HAS ACCUMULATED IN A
INFILTRATION FEATURE, WITHIN 30 DAYS OF INSPECTION DEPOSITED SEDIMENTS MUST BE REMOVED, THE INFILTRATION CAPACITY
OF THE UNDERLYING SOILS MUST BE RESTORED, AND ANY SURFACE DISTURBANCE MUST BE STABILIZED. INSPECTION MUST
ENSURE THAT SEDIMENT TRAPS AND FOREBAYS ARE TRAPPING SEDIMENT AND THAT MORE THAN 50 PERCENT OF THE STORAGE
VOLUME REMAINS, THE CONTRIBUTING DRAINAGE AREA IS STABLE (I.E., NO EROSION IS OBSERVED), AND INLETS AND
OUTLET/OVERFLOW SPILLWAYS ARE IN GOOD CONDITIONS WITH NO EROSION. MAINTENANCE TECHNIQUES USED MUST PROTECT
THE INFILTRATION CAPACITY OF THE PRACTICE BY LIMITING SOIL COMPACTION TO THE GREATEST EXTENT POSSIBLE (E.G., BY
USING LOW-IMPACT EARTH-MOVING EQUIPMENT).
4.UNDERGROUND STORAGE CHAMBERS MUST BE INSPECTED AT LEAST ONCE A YEAR TO ENSURE THAT ADEQUATE STORAGE
CAPACITY REMAINS. CAPACITY WILL BE CONSIDERED INADEQUATE IF SEDIMENT HAS DECREASED THE STORAGE VOLUME BY 50
PERCENT OF ITS ORIGINAL DESIGN VOLUME. ACCUMULATED DEBRIS AND SEDIMENT WILL BE REMOVED, AND INLET AND OUTLET
STRUCTURES WILL BE CLEARED OF ANY FLOW IMPEDIMENTS.

RE: Douglas Road market-rate housing proposal
Project Description:
The proposed project is located on an undeveloped hillside on Douglas Drive.
The building proposed will be four stories, with two levels of below grade parking. The building will contain
a total of 186 market rate units, with a mix of studio, alcoves, 1-,1 bedroom den, 2-, and 3-bedroom units
per the mix below. Note: Alcove units are a hybrid between a one bedroom and a studio where the units
have a bed alcove area inside the unit. The range of units will provide for a diverse mix of household types,
and different levels of rent. Although each unit type would attract a mix of tenants, we have found that
some general trends do exist for the make-up of the residents. The residents in the smaller units would
generally be a traditional younger renter starting out that wants to be in the community. The larger one-
bedroom units and the one-bedroom units with dens tend to appeal to a more established single person,
sometimes with part-time children, often working from home, especially with the dens. There are two-
bedroom units that would appeal equally to young couples, or roommates. The three-bedroom units would
generally appeal to young families. We have also included some upscale penthouse-style units on the fourth
floor.
The resident mix and type is intended to meet the market with reasonable rents for the level of amenities,
on this great site in a great community. Building amenities include a sky lounge with a roof deck, fitness
center, yoga studio, package center, work from home stations, and community rooms with a kitchen and
gaming areas. Potential outdoor amenities include a pool and amenity deck with turf area for yard games
and volleyball, patio spaces, grilling stations, and a sauna.

Building Metrics:
PROPOSED
Front yard setback at Douglas drive 25’
REVERSE Side yard setback at 71st 21’-4”"
Rear yard setback GREATER THAN 50’
Floor Area Ratio .77 (residential area)
Floor Area Ratio 1.24 total area.
Maximum Height 77’-7”
Building Design and Materials:
The site sits in a prominent area at the base of a large hill. The hill has approximately 40’ of grade change
from the front (street side of the building to the back of the building (hill side). The design accommodates
the hill and wraps around the base. The structure with a two-story parking area helps to mitigate the grade
change and acts as a retaining wall. Aesthetically this creates a base for the building. The base around the
building is articulated with masonry construction. The upper portion of the building highlights the two
corners in a symmetrical pattern with a courtyard in the middle. The courtyard provides an amenity for the
residents, and it also breaks up the mass of the building and provides a greater setback along Douglas Drive.
The front entry is located on the north portion of the site and will be a two-story element to help reduce
the scale and create an entry identity for the project. This area is an amenity for the residents and provides
easy access for visitors. A canopy will highlight the entry.
The building is four stories of wood frame construction over two stories of concrete construction. The
building is four stories tall on the hill side. On the street side the grade changes to expose one to two
stories of the parking area.
Building materials will consist primarily of brick, and burnished block at the lower stories. Cultured stone,
cement board in a lap siding profile, along with flat panel cement board, composite widows, and
prefinished aluminum trim, Brick is located at the front of the building facing Douglas Drive. See elevations.
Height: The proposed project is four stories tall, over two levels of underground parking. The above ground
portion of the building is generally 48'-0" above the parking. Most of the parking is below grade on the
hillside. However, the below grade parking levels are exposed on the street sides. The average height is
approximately 44'-8" above average site grade. There is also an elevator overrun, and a parapet that helps
to screen mechanical units that is an additional 5' above the roof deck. From the building’s entry to the top
of the parapet, the height is 68’-7” (55’ allowed per zoning). The project site has steep existing grade
making the north side building height at 45’-7” at the highest grade along the building. Grade is at its
lowest in the south side of the east wall where the building height appears 77’-7”. Retaining walls are
Page 3 of 4
required to keep the existing higher grades, these could be as tall as 19’ along the north side. These walls
are held off the building 15’ to allow for views and light into the units and provide a wide walking
path. Grade is modified around the building to manage stormwater and provide egress and access. Please
see sheet 2.1, Site Diagrams for grade related to building height.
VARIANCE REQUEST:
We are requesting a height variance for the project. This is necessary due to the extreme slopes of the site.
On a typical flat site, the building would be less than 55’ from typical grade. However, on this site the drop
in grade is exposing an additional 12-16’ of the building. Additionally, the site is irregular in shape. The site
is further restricted by the curve along Douglas Drive and the limitations for safe vehicular access points
along Douglas.
Therefore: The variance request is based on the conditions of the site, and is unique to the site, and not
caused by the owner, and is not for financial reasons.
Site Access and Parking:
The site has one access point at the east end. This location is selected as it mitigates the grade differences
on the site. The enclosed parking is accessed from the east side. There is an internal ramp that allows
access to both levels of parking.
There are a total of 293 parking stalls proposed. 258 stalls are enclosed in two levels of underground
parking These stalls are for residents only. The surface area consists of 35 parking stalls. These stalls would
be a mix of visitor parking as well as resident parking.
In suburban areas we have found that the appropriate level of parking is measured by the number of
bedrooms. Typical parking ratios do not account for differences in unit sizes, thus a studio apartment would
have the same parking requirement as a three bedroom apartment when looking at a per unit parking
requirement. We have also found that when most parking requirement standards were implemented, the
typical market for apartments was predominately two- and three-bedroom apartments (roughly 2/3 of the
total). The current market for apartments, and this proposal is for smaller units. The proposed plan has
67% studio and one-bedroom units, and 33% two- and three-bedroom units. This proposed development
has a total of 219 bedrooms.
The proposed plan provides 258 enclosed parking stalls for 219 bedrooms. Every unit will have an enclosed
stall for every bedroom in their unit. We have proposed a few less as two- and three-bedroom units often
have children, and to account for a standard vacancy rate of about 3%. We do recognize that some of the
units will have multiple drivers, while some of the units will have multiple drivers that share a car.
Additionally, there are 35 on-site parking stalls. This brings the overall parking ratio to 1.39 stalls per unit,
and 1.18 stalls per bedroom.
We believe this parking ratio is more than sufficient to meet the needs of the development. Parking is not
only expensive, but additional parking would take up valuable greenspace. Meeting the parking need or
Page 4 of 4
our residents is of critical importance to us as not having enough would be a detriment to leasing, and
therefore we need to make sure that there is enough parking while conserving greenspace. Based on our
own properties, and evaluation of the overall market, resident demands, and parking use we know that a
ratio of one stall per bedroom is sufficient.
The ITE parking generation Manual 2023 suggests the multi-family ratio for areas outside of transit service
should be 1 stall per bedroom, and / or 1.7 stalls per unit. The proposed ITE standard for 219 bedrooms
would be 219 parking stalls. We exceed this number by 74 parking stalls with the proposed plan. Based on
unit count ITE would suggest 316 parking stalls, or 23 stalls more than provided. If we were to average the
two we have excess stalls of 48. We also believe the per bedroom ratio is a more accurate means to
determine true parking demand as this project is skewed to many more one-bedroom units.

MEMORANDUM
Date: 11/18/2025
To: Paul Sponholz, PE
From: Mike Boex, PE
Subject: Yellowtree Apartments
City of Cottage Grove, MN
Project No.: 24X141027000
This memo summarizes the review of site plan documents submitted by Civil Site Group., dated
10/29/25.
ALTA Survey:
1. The ALTA survey does not depict a trail easement that shows up in Washington County mapping
(document no. 3674924). Please review the presence of easements on this site.
a. It appears the proposed building may encroach into the existing easement. The Land
Trust will need to be engaged to determine the feasibility of amending the easement.
Civil Plans:
Sheet C0.0:
2. For clarity, please identify the horizontal and vertical datums for the project on the title sheet.
Sheet C0.1:
3. There is a note within a box regarding “adjacent roadway and utility work…”; it appears this
note is from a prior project and should be removed.
Sheet C1.0:
4. Clarify removals and restoration along the south and eastern sides of the property up to the
back of the sidewalk within public right-of-way. The City expectation is shown in the image
below:
a. There are two notes on Sheet C0.1 that indicate the site will be irrigated into the right-
of-way to the back of curb (in this case sidewalk), which is required per city code.
Currently, no clearing in this area is depicted within the plans.
Yellowtree Apartments Plan Review

Page: 3
Sheet C2.0:
5. Site Access:
a. Prepare a sight-line analysis for the proposed drive location. Proper sight distance shall
be provided per the AASHTO Green Book:
i. West of access: 335-lf needed, measured along vehicle path on East Point
Douglas Rd
ii. East of access: 290-lf needed, measured along vehicle path on East Point
Douglas Rd
b. There is little context depicted on the opposite side of East Point Douglas Road; depict
driveways and curb lines on the opposite side of the street.
6. The access drive crosses a city-owned parcel. It is understood both parcel 0702721440020 and
0802721330053 will be incorporated into a new plat. 10-ft perimeter drainage and utility
easement shall be provided.
7. The new drive connection to the existing street shall conform to city standard detail STR-21.
The mill-overlay to center of roadway should be depicted and this detail referenced on the plan.
8. For the natural trail on the north side of the building, this sheet states “restore pathway
material in-kind.” City prefers this trail to be graded with a 2% cross slope and resurfaced with
an aggregate base (class 5). Minnesota Land Trust may have a different opinion on the trail
surface material. Coordinate final trail surface with City and Minnesota Land Trust staff.
9. Identify the temporary location planned for trash pickup.
10. Stairs/sidewalk on the east side of the building: an encroachment agreement will be necessary
for encroachment into the city parcel and public right-of-way. City will draft this agreement and
will provide it to the developer to review.
11. Provide truncated domes and pedestrian ramps for the public sidewalk at the concrete apron.
12. Retaining walls:
a. Ensure all private walls are located on private property. It appears the wall on the
eastern side of the building may be located in the city-owned parcel.
b. Provide the anticipated wall designs for the various areas of the site, including areas of
sandstone.
c. Clarify how drainage is anticipated to be handled in areas of retaining wall (over wall?).
13. Identify areas of fencing on the plans. The city-standard Ameristar Montage Plus fence (style:
Majestic) should be considered in the following areas:
a. Adjacent to the retaining wall along the natural pathway
b. Adjacent to the retaining wall adjacent to the parking lot and sidewalk
Sheet C2.1:
14. Identify where the exterior Fire Department Connection (FDC) is anticipated.
Sheet C3.0:
15. The access drive shall not exceed a 10% grade.
Yellowtree Apartments Plan Review
Page: 4
16. It appears there may be a 1.5H:1V slope proposed north of the building and garage entrance.
a. 3H:1V slopes or retaining wall should be provided or describe the plan for slope
stability; no erosion control blanket or other measure is depicted on sheet SW1.1.
Similarly, a 2H:1V slope is proposed on the northeast side of the building; turf
maintenance is a concern with that slope.
17. The grading intent should be clarified along the northern portions of the building, for example
near AD-53 and AD-52. Add additional spot elevations and/or tie-in locations as appropriate.
a. 2% minimum greenspace grades are desired for drainage.
18. Clarify if tip-out curb is proposed anywhere.
19. Freeboard Standards: Please label all pond and local drainage EOF locations and elevations
throughout the site.
a. The grading legend depicts a large arrow for an emergency overflow, yet no arrows are
visible on the plan (the EOF of the aboveground bio-filtration basin is difficult to spot).
Other local drainage EOFs are not labeled (curb overflow by CB 30, drainage across
sidewalk/stairs to East Point Douglas Rd, etc.).
b. Below are the EOF standards for reference:
i. For stormwater facilities with emergency overflows, the low adjacent grade
elevation for all new structures must be a minimum of 3 feet above both the
peak surface water elevation for the 100-year precipitation event and 2 feet
above the emergency overflow elevation of any immediately adjacent new
stormwater basin.
ii. For backyard and side-yard conveyance and temporary ponding areas, there
must be at least 1 foot between the overland overflow elevation and the low
adjacent grade elevation of the adjacent structure.
Sheet C4.0:
20. The storm sewer in East Point Douglas Road appears incorrect and a storm service pipe was
provided to this site. It is preferred to use this existing service versus connect to a new structure
in the street. Attached are record plans for reference.
21. Any patching of East Point Douglas Road for utility connections will require 3.5” bituminous
pavement and 8” class 5 aggregate base.
Sheet C5.0:
22. On a future submittal, fill out the proposed pavement thicknesses in detail #1.
23. Clarify where the proposed valley gutter (detail #3) is within the site. To conform with the
proposed drainage areas, it may make sense to place one across the entrance drive as it
connects to the parking lot – please review.
24. Clarify where the proposed ribbon curb (detail #4) is within the site. It appears all on-site curb is
B612 per sheet C2.0.
Sheet L1.0:
Yellowtree Apartments Plan Review
Page: 5
25. List the following planting restrictions on the plan such that they can be adhered to during
installation. Please review and revise the plan for conformance. For example, the tree next to
the existing water service pipe should be moved.
a. Deciduous trees should be located a minimum of 5’ off any utility pipe.
b. Coniferous trees should be located a minimum of 15’ off any utility pipe.
c. No tree should be located within 10’ of a hydrant or 15’ from a streetlight.
d. No trees should be located within a storm pond HWL.
e. No trees should be located within a storm pond’s 20-ft access route, and no coniferous
trees within 5’ of the 20’ pond access route.
f. No coniferous trees within 20’ of a proposed sidewalk/trail.
g. No deciduous trees within 5’ of sidewalk/trail/driveways.
h. Trees should not be planted within drainage and utility easements.
26. Add a note to the plans directing that trees are staked prior to installation such that they can be
reviewed for conformance to the planting restrictions.
27. In conjunction with the brush clearing comment on Sheet C1.0, restoration should be identified
in areas up to the existing sidewalk adjacent to this property. Where possible, sod should be
provided.
28. Irrigation limits:
a. Clarify what is intended to be irrigated. Sheet C0.1 states “Entire site shall be fully
irrigated” which is likely not the intent. It is assumed sod and planting areas will be
irrigated at a minimum.
29. Please provide the parking lot percentage of interior landscaped islands or other landscaped
traffic controls or natural stormwater management features. City Code Title 11-3-12 requires a
minimum of at least 8%.
30. A note references Sheet LT1.0 for exterior lighting, please provide with a future submittal.
a. A photometrics submittal will be required.
Stormwater Comments:
31. The City will require an executed stormwater maintenance agreement for the proposed
stormwater features on the site.
32. Plan revisions:
a. Please revise the plans (Sheet C4.0 and Details on C5.3) to be consistent with the outlet
structures for the underground and above ground filtration systems in HydroCAD.
i. Detail 1 C5.3 lists inverts of 951.60’ and a weir wall top elevation of 973.00’ with
pipe sizes of 15.0”. Please adjust inverts, weir wall elevations and pipe sizes to
match HydroCAD. HydroCAD lists the primary outlet pipe as a 12.0” round
culvert with invert elevation of 802.00’, and weir wall top elevation as 810.00’.
Yellowtree Apartments Plan Review
Page: 6
ii. Sheet C4.0 lists a 4” orifice opening at elevation 806.7 in the OCS 20. This
opening is not simulated in the HydroCAD model. Please be consistent between
the plans and models.
iii. Sheet C4.0 lists a custom weir wall for OCS 02. Please include the weir wall
detail in the plans and be consistent with the models.
iv. Please correct outlet invert (12” OUTLET, IE=805.00’) from Underground
filtration basin on C4.0 to match HydroCAD (Primary outlet 12.0” round culvert
with invert elevation of 802.00’).
v. Please include an impervious liner in the underground filtration system.
vi. Please provide a detail for the aboveground bio-filtration basin including the
proposed filtration media and the impervious liner that will be installed.
b. Swales and Overland Flow Routes:
i. Sheets C3.0 and C4.0 show a swale extending along the walking path from FES
50 to CB 30. This swale has a slope of about 9% (15 feet of fall in 140 feet).
Please compute the design flows, depths and velocities in the swale and explain
the proposed erosion protection.
ii. Sheets C3.0 and C4.0 show a surface drainage route between the NE building
corner and the retaining wall. This overland flow route has a slope of about 37%
(30 feet of fall in 80 feet). Please compute the design flows, depths and
velocities in this overland flow route and explain the proposed erosion
protection.
c. As previously mentioned, the preference is for the pathway to be an aggregate surface
and will therefore add to the proposed site impervious surfaces.
d. Please label the 100-year HWL for the above-ground bio-filtration basin on Sheet C3.0.
33. HydroCAD:
a. Please edit the curve numbers listed in Tables 2.2 and 2.3 of the stormwater report to
match the HydroCAD model. The report tables indicate CN=55, the HydroCAD and P8
models include CN=58.
b. Please include the proposed EOF spillway of the above ground filtration basin within the
proposed condition HydroCAD model.
c. Please model CB 30 and the 12” RCP storm drain as a storage node to determine
proposed conditions high water levels in the northwest portion of the site.
d. The Stormwater Rate Summary table in the Stormwater Management Report sums the
peak flows from reaches 1R, 2R and 3R as 19.2 cfs. This value exceeds the target unit
flow rate of 17.3 cfs. Please sum the Hydrographs within HydroCAD for reaches 1R, 2R
and 3R for comparison of the proposed condition flow from the whole site to the target
unit flow of 17.3 cfs (6.65 acre at 2.6 cfs/acre).
34. Water Quality – P8:
a. The P8 model is incorrectly simulating the filtration basins as though they were
infiltration basins. The filtration basins selections within the “Devices Tab” should be
adjusted so the Infiltration is directed to the Outlet Pipe instead of “Out”. In this
Yellowtree Apartments Plan Review
Page: 7
manner, the dissolved phosphorus load will be routed downstream rather than
discarded. The MPCA explains this approach:
“If the infiltration device is assigned as “*OUT*” (the default entry), P8 will model the
device as an infiltration BMP (i.e., dissolved pollutants associated with infiltration are
“removed”). If a downstream device is assigned, the device is modeled as a filtration
BMP (i.e., filtration efficiencies assigned in the “Particle Parameters” dialog box are used
to calculate particulate and pollutant removal [3]).”1
b. Please update the existing P8 model to reflect the total site area of 5.0 acres. Currently,
it has 4.8 acres listed.
c. A TP mitigation fee is available if reductions are unable to be met.
35. Rational Storm Sewer Design: Please provide rational storm sewer design table with the
following documentation:
a. On-site storm sewer should be sized to a 5-year rational method design. Submit design
calculations for the storm sewer system and a drainage area map showing each
catchment with manholes and catch basins labeled. Include individual pipe segment
velocities with calculations for review. Trunk facilities should be analyzed and designed
to accommodate the 100-year ponded discharges plus 5-year rational flows from areas
that enter the trunk to be carried to the next storage area downstream.
b. Pipe sizes and slopes should be selected to provide a minimum open channel velocity of
3 feet per second.
c. Maximum storm sewer velocities should be kept at 10 feet per second or less.
d. When changing pipe sizes in structure, match crown of pipe elevations instead of
inverts.
e. Please show storm catch basin IDs, pipe sizes, grades, elevations, and drainage areas on
the plans consistent with the rational design tables.
f. Pipe outlets to wet ponds should be placed at the NWL and have design velocities of 6
fps or less. Pipe outlets into filtration basins or other overland discharge should have
design velocities of 4 fps or less.
36. Existing and future emergency overflows of approximately 60 cfs along Hardwood Avenue and
East Point Douglas Road will need to be conveyed through the existing stormwater BMPs along
Hardwood Avenue and East Point Douglas Road (built during the Everwood 4th Addition). This
may require a culvert crossing of approximate 48” diameter under the proposed sidewalk from
East Point Douglas Road S. Potential future conditions highwater levels of approximately 808
feet should be planned and considered for the drainage & utility easements and freeboard in
the southeastern corner of the parcel downstream of the proposed sidewalk from East Point
Douglas Road.
37. Models: Please note that digital copies of the final version stormwater models and shapefiles or
CAD drawings of existing and proposed drainage areas are to be submitted to the city once the
review and revision process is complete.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Nate Carlson – Economic Development Manager
FROM: Schane Rudlang & Stacie Kvilvang – Ehlers
DATE: February 10, 2026
SUBJECT: Yellowtree Housing Development - Analysis of Financial Request
The City of Cottage Grove received a tax abatement request from Yellowtree Development (“Developer”) for
their proposed redevelopment at East Point Douglas Road South and Hardwood Avenue South (PID:
802721330053). The project does not qualify for Tax Increment Financing (“TIF”), as it does not include
affordable housing units (Housing TIF District) and the site is vacant with no blighted buildings (Redevelopment
TIF District). The Developer requested 15 years of abatement of the City’s portion of property taxes
(“Abatement”) to fill their financing gap.
Project Background
In November of 2024, the Developer submitted a plan with 160 units and a similar assistance request. Ehlers
issued a memo on March 12, 2025 with a recommendation for 10 years of abatement to support the project
which was heard by the City Council on March 19, 2025. The Developer currently proposes to construct a
186‑unit, market‑rate, multifamily apartment project with a unit mix as shown in the table below.
The Project would be financed by a standard equity and debt model as outlined below. The Abatement subsidy
is not listed independently from the sources below because it is included with the First Mortgage amount.

TOTAL SOURCES 45,646,074 100%245,409
Financial Review and Performance
The Developer submitted a Proforma that Ehlers analyzed using its financial model. The review included
comparing assumptions to market standards, stress‑testing key variables, and calculating the Project's
abatement capacity using assessor data. Ehlers evaluated three core performance metrics: Yield on Cost,
Cash on Cash, and Internal Rate of Return, which incorporates a projected year‑10 sale. Both the current
analysis and the March 12, 2025 memo reached the same conclusion. Despite updates to the project’s
financials, the development still requires 10 years of Abatement to be feasible, with the revised Abatement
amount of $1,241,000 reflecting changes in unit count and estimated value. With Ehlers' adjustments and the
recommended assistance, the Project's performance is considered acceptable and would not occur without the
support. The Abatement would be provided on a pay‑as‑you‑go (“PAYGO”) basis using annual percentages,
meaning payments depend on actual abatement levels and full repayment of the principal amount is not
guaranteed by the City.
Lookback on Actual Development Cost
Ehlers recommends, and the Developer has agreed to, a lookback on actual total development costs. Upon
completion of the Project, the Developer will submit all costs and supporting invoices to the City. If the
difference between the actual total development cost and the estimated total development cost exceeds
$100,000, the Abatement principal amount will be reduced by 50% of the cost savings. If the Project costs less
than estimated, the level of public assistance should be reduced accordingly. This sharing of savings
incentivizes the Developer to pursue cost efficiencies, allowing both parties to benefit from any cost underruns.

Summary
Based on the review, the Project would not reasonably be expected to proceed without Abatement assistance
in the principal amount of $1,241,000. The assistance should be provided on a PAYGO basis financed at
5.5%, based on the annual percentages above, and contain a lookback on actual cost.

acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
2
1. Construction and Maintenance of Stormwater Management Facilities. The
Landowner agrees to construct the Stormwater Management Facilities according to the Plans and
repair and maintain the Stormwater Management Facilities at its sole cost and expense.
Maintenance of the Stormwater Management Facilities shall mean an annual inspection, and
certification, by a qualified individual or company acceptable to the City that the stormwater
system is functioning in accordance with the approved Plans. If, as a result of an inspection by a
qualified individual or company acceptable to the City or City staff, it is determined that the
Stormwater Management Facilities (1) has not been maintained; or (2) is not functioning as
originally designed and intended; or (3) is in need of repair, the Landowner agrees to restore the
Stormwater Management Facilities so that it functions as it was designed and intended. Subject to
Section 5 below, Landowner shall be solely responsible for the repair and maintenance of the
Stormwater Management System and shall provide a copy of the required annual inspection report
to the City. If the required annual inspection report is not submitted to the City by September 30th
of each year, the Landowner shall provide the City with the right to enter onto the property to
conduct the annual inspection.
2. Landowner’s Default. In the event of default by the Landowner as to any of the
work to be performed by it hereunder, following at least thirty (30) days prior written notice and
Landowner’s failure to cure such default within such time-frame or commence and diligently
pursue curing such cure if Landowner is unable to cure within such thirty (30) day period and
Landowner is diligently pursuing and can demonstrate progress toward curing the default, except
in an emergency as determined by the City, the City may, at its option, perform the work and the
Landowner shall promptly, following receipt of an invoice and reasonable substantiation of such
costs, reimburse the City for any reasonable out-of-pocket expense incurred by the City. This
Agreement is a license for the City to act when so authorized under this Agreement, and it shall
not be necessary for the City to seek a Court order for permission to enter the Properties. When
the City does any such work, the City may, in addition to its other remedies, assess the reasonable
out-of-pocket cost in whole or in part.
3. Future City Policy. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the
contrary, in the event the City shall in the future establish a policy for repair and maintenance by
the City of Stormwater Management Facilities owned by private parties located elsewhere in the
City under which policy the costs of such repair and maintenance are to be paid either out of
general City revenues or by collection of utility or service fees or charges, then any Landowner of
any portion of the Properties shall be entitled to petition the City for the inclusion of the
Stormwater Management Facilities under such repair and maintenance program. The recording of
a certified copy of the Resolution of the City Council of the City which sets forth the consent and
authorization described in the foregoing sentence shall serve to terminate this Agreement, without
further action on the part of any party hereto.
4. Changes to Site Configuration or Stormwater Management Facilities. If site
configurations or Stormwater Management Facilities change, causing decreased effectiveness of
Stormwater Management Facilities, new or improved Stormwater Management Facilities must be
implemented to ensure the conditions for post-construction stormwater management continue to
be met.

or replacing any improvements or adding future City improvements in the Encroachment Area.
If the Landowner does not perform such tasks, the City may perform such tasks and in such
case the Landowner shall reimburse the City for the City’s costs and expenses. Prior to
commencing such tasks, the City shall send a notice to the Landowner and allow the Landowner
twenty (20) days from the date of the written notice to perform the tasks. If the Landowner has
not completed the work within the twenty (20) days, then the City may proceed to perform the
tasks. Once the City’s costs and expenses have been determined by the City, the City shall send
an invoice for such costs and expenses to the Landowner. The Landowner must pay the invoice
within thirty (30) days after the date of the invoice. Such costs and expenses include, but are not

then the City may avail itself of any remedy afforded by law or in equity and any of the following
non-exclusive remedies:
(a) The City may specifically enforce this Agreement.
(b) If Landowner fails to make payments under Section 3.6 or 3.7, then the City may
certify to Washington County the amounts due as payable with the real estate taxes
for Landowner Property in the next calendar year; such certifications may be made
under Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 444 in a manner similar to certifications for
unpaid utility bills. The Landowner waives any and all procedural and substantive
objections to the imposition of such usual and customary charges on the Landowner
Property.
Further, as an alternate means of collection, if the written billing is not paid by the
Landowner, the City, without notice and without hearing, may specially assess the
Landowner Property for the costs and expenses incurred by the City. The
Landowner hereby waives any and all procedural and substantive objections to
special assessments for the costs including, but not limited to, notice and hearing
requirements and any claims that the charges or special assessments exceed the
benefit to the Landowner Property. The Landowner waives any appeal rights
otherwise available pursuant to Minnesota Statute §429.081. The Landowner
acknowledges that the benefit from the performance of tasks by the City equals or
exceeds the amount of the charges and assessments for the costs that are being
imposed hereunder upon the Landowner Property.
No remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the City shall be exclusive of any
other available remedy or remedies, but each and every such remedy shall be
cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given under this
Agreement or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute. No delay
or omission to exercise any right or power accruing upon any default shall impair
any such right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver thereof, but any such
right and power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed
expedient.
3.9. Indemnification. With the exception of events arising from negligence or willful
misconduct by the City, its officer, agents, employees and volunteers, the Landowner shall
indemnify, defend and hold the City, its council, agents, consultants, attorneys, employees and
representatives harmless against and in respect of any and all claims, demands, actions, suits,

466, governs the Parties’ liability. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to waive or limit the
provisions of the Tort Claims Act. The total liability of all third-party claims arising out of a single
occurrence shall not exceed the limit set forth for each Party. The limits of liability for the
undersigned Parties may not be added together to determine the maximum amount of liability for
any one party. The intent of this paragraph is to impose on each party a limited duty to defend and
indemnify each other subject to the limits of liability under Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 466.

under this Agreement.

amend this Agreement in any respect. Any party hereto may extend the time for the performance
of any of the obligations of another, waive any inaccuracies in representations by another contained
in this Agreement or in any document delivered pursuant hereto which inaccuracies would
otherwise constitute a breach of this Agreement, waive compliance by another with any of the
covenants contained in this Agreement and performance of any obligations by the other or waive
the fulfillment of any condition that is precedent to the performance by the party so waiving of any
of its obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement on the part of any party for any such
amendment, extension or waiver must be in writing. No waiver of any of the provisions of this
Agreement shall be deemed, or shall constitute, a waiver of any other provisions, whether or not
similar, nor shall any waiver constitute a continuing waiver.

with the laws of the State of Minnesota.

each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same

CITY OF COTTAGE GROVE
RESOLUTION NO. 2026-028
RESOLUTION GRANTING A PROPERTY TAX ABATEMENT
BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council (the “Council”) of the City of Cottage Grove, Minnesota
(the “City”) as follows:
Section 1. Recitals.
1.01. East Point Apartments LLC, a limited liability company under the laws of Minnesota, (the
“Developer”), has or intends to acquire in fee the real property located at East Point Douglas Road South
and Hardwood Avenue South, currently, legally described on Exhibit A attached hereto (the “Abatement
Property”).
1.02. The Property is currently undeveloped. The Developer proposes to construct a multi-
family apartment building with 186 units and 258 enclosed and 36 surface parking stalls on the Abatement
Property (the “Project”). On February 18, 2026, the City approved the preliminary plat, final plat, planned
unit development (PUD), and site plan regarding the Project (collectively, the “City Approvals” for the
Project.
1.03. Pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, sections 469.1812 through 469.1815, as amended, (the
“Tax Abatement Act”) and a tax abatement agreement, the form of which has been submitted to the City
Council for its consideration and approval (the "Tax Abatement Agreement"), the City has determined a
need to grant a property tax abatement on the Abatement Property (the “Abatement”) to the Developer to
assist in financing a portion of the costs of the Project. The term of the Abatement will be for 10 years.
The Abatement will apply to the City’s share of real estate taxes on the Abatement Property above the pay
2026 base value of the property.
1.04. The Tax Abatement Agreement sets forth in greater detail the terms of the Abatement
provided by the City.
1.05. On the date hereof, the City Council conducted a duly noticed public hearing on the
proposed Abatement for the Project. The views of all interested persons were heard and considered at the
public hearing.
Section 2. Findings.
2.01. The recitals set forth above are incorporated into this resolution.
2.02. It is hereby found and determined that the benefits to the City from the Abatement will be
at least equal to the costs to the City of the Abatement because (a) based on representations of the
Developer, the City believes that the Project is not reasonably likely to occur absent the Abatement; (b) the
Project will provide market rate rental housing needed to alleviate the current low vacancy rate in the
community; (c) development of the Project will likely encourage additional development and jobs within
the City and surrounding area; and (d) the long-term taxes collected from the Abatement Property after
termination of the Abatement will exceed the amount of the Abatement returned to the Developer.
CT165-60-1021855.v3
2.03. It is hereby found and determined that the Abatement is in the public interest because such
action will increase the City’s tax base, facilitate construction of needed housing and provide additional
employment opportunities in the City and the State.
2.04. It is further specifically found and determined that the Abatement is expected to result in
the following public benefits:
(a) An estimated $43,700,000 increase in market value for property tax purposes attributable
to the Project. All of that value will be available to the County, school district and other taxing
jurisdictions during the full term of the Abatement. That full value will also be available to the
City after termination of the Abatement, subject to the specific terms of the Abatement; and
(b) Creation of new jobs in the City and the State; and
(c) Provision of needed multi-family rental housing.
2.05. The City has concluded, based on its estimates and as more fully set forth in the Tax
Abatement Agreement, that the present value aggregate principal amount of Abatement which will be paid
to the Developer during the Abatement Period is no more than $1,241,000. The City finds that the
Abatement does not constitute a business subsidy within the meaning of Minnesota Statutes, sections
116J.993 to 116J.995, as amended (the “Business Subsidy Act”) because the assistance is for housing.
Section 3. Actions Ratified; Abatement and Tax Abatement Agreement Approved
3.01. The City Council hereby ratifies all actions of the City’s staff and consultants regarding
approval of this Abatement Resolution and the Tax Abatement Agreement in accordance with the Tax
Abatement Act.
3.02. Subject to the provisions of the Tax Abatement Act and the Tax Abatement Agreement,
the Abatement is hereby approved and adopted subject to the following terms and conditions:
(a) The City will pay the Abatement in the estimated amounts, at the time, and in accordance
with the terms and conditions set forth in the Tax Abatement Agreement.

Section 3.1 The Project. The Project consist of a market rate multi-family apartment
building with 186 units and 258 enclosed and 36 surface parking stalls. The City has approved the
Land Use Entitlements for the Project.
Section 3.2 Transfer of the Project and Assignment of Agreement. The Developer
represents and agrees that prior to the expiration of the Abatement Period or earlier termination of
this Agreement, the Developer shall not assign this Agreement in conjunction with a transfer of
the Abatement Property or any part thereof or any interest therein without the prior written consent
of the City, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided,
however, that any such transfer or assignment to an affiliate of the Developer shall not require the
prior written consent of the City. In the case of a transfer occurring after commencement of
construction but prior to completion of the Project, the City shall be entitled to reasonably require
as a condition to any such consent required hereunder that any proposed transferee have the
financial ability (either itself or with the assistance of one or more guarantors), in the reasonable
judgment of the City, necessary and adequate to complete the construction of the Project as and to
the extent required under this Agreement. The City shall also be entitled to require that any
proposed transferee, by instrument in writing reasonably satisfactory to the City, expressly assume
this Agreement and agree to be subject to all the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
Section 3.3 Real Property Taxes.
(a) The Developer agrees that during the Abatement Period it will not cause a reduction
in the real property taxes paid in respect of the Abatement Property through willful destruction of
the Project or any part thereof. The Developer also agrees that it will not, during the Abatement
Period, transfer or permit transfer of the Abatement Property to any entity whose ownership or
operation of the property would result in the Abatement Property being exempt from real property
taxes under State law.
(b) The Developer shall notify the City within 30 days of filing any Tax Appeal. If as
of any Payment Date, any Tax Appeal is then pending, the City will continue to pay any Abatement
due but only to the extent that the Abatement relates to property taxes paid with respect to the
market value of the Abatement Property not being challenged as part of the Tax Appeal as
determined by the City in its sole discretion. The City will withhold any Abatement otherwise due
related to property taxes paid with respect to the market value of the Abatement Property being
challenged as part of the Tax Appeal as determined by the City in its sole discretion. The City will
pay to the Developer any withheld Abatement to the extent not reduced as a result of the Tax
Appeal after the Tax Appeal is fully resolved and the amount of Abatement attributable to the
disputed tax payments is finalized.
Section 3.4 Abatement Amount. The City agrees to pay the Developer the Abatement on
the Payment Dates based on the annual percentages as provided in Exhibit B, subject to the
5
CT165-60-1020458.v4
adjusted provided for in Section 6.1 of this Agreement and up to the total principal Abatement
amount stated in Section 4.1.
Section 3.5 Abatement Period. The Abatement Period shall exist for a period of 10 years
beginning with the Initial Year. On each Payment Date to and including the Final Payment Date,
the City shall pay the Developer the Abatement from Available Tax received by the City in the
previous 6 months, if any, as provided for herein.
Section 3.6 Limitations on Undertaking of the City. The City shall have no obligation to
pay any Abatement to the Developer for the Project, if the City, at the time or times such payment
is to be made, is entitled under Section 5.2 to exercise any of the remedies set forth therein as a
result of an Event of Default by the Developer which has not been cured.
Section 3.7 Additional Limitations. (a) The pledge of Abatements is subject to all the
terms and conditions of the Abatement Resolution approved by the City on February 18, 2026.
The City makes no warranties or representations as to the amount of any Abatement which may
or will be available to the Developer. Any estimates of Abatement amounts prepared by the City
or the City’s financial consultants are for the benefit of the City only, and the Developer is not
entitled to rely on such estimates. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the
City agrees that the Abatement may be pledged as security for primary financing on the Project.
(b) The Developer further acknowledges that the Abatement payable by the City under
this Agreement is subject to the Abatement Cap. The City does not warrant or represent that any
Abatement otherwise payable under this Agreement will be within the Abatement Cap. The City
has granted other abatements prior to the Abatement to the Developer. Payment of previously
approved abatements takes priority over this Abatement in any year in which the City’s total
abatement obligations exceed the Abatement Cap.
ARTICLE IV
ABATEMENT AMOUNT; NO BUSINESS SUBSIDY
Section 4.1 Calculation of Abatement. The present value of total principal Abatement
amount is $1,241,000 and shall be paid by the City in accordance with the declining amounts shown
on Exhibit B, subject to the adjustments which may occur in accordance with the lookback provisions
in Section 6.1 of this Agreement. In no year shall the Abatement plus all other abatements paid by
the City exceed the Abatement Cap. The City will also pay simple, non-compounding interest on the
unpaid principal amount of the Abatement at the lesser of (a) 5.5 percent, or (b) the rate of interest on
the Developer’s primary financing for the Project. The Developer agrees to provide the City with
evidence of the interest rate on its primary financing for the Project.
Section 4.2 No Business Subsidy. The Abatement provides assistance for housing and,
accordingly, the Abatement does not constitute a business subsidy within the meaning of Minnesota
Statutes, sections 116J.993 through 116J.995, as amended.

this Agreement and the term “Event of Default” shall mean whenever it is used in this Agreement
any one or more of the following events:
(a) The failure by the Developer to cause the Project to be constructed pursuant to the
terms, conditions and limitations of the Land Use Entitlements and this Agreement;
(b) Except with regard to any amount subject to a Tax Appeal or the payment of which

Section 5.1 occurs and is continuing, the non-defaulting party may take any one or more of the
following actions after the giving of written notice to the defaulting party citing with specificity
the item or items of default and notifying the defaulting party that it has 30 days within which to
cure said Event of Default or commence and diligently pursue curing such Event of Default if the
defaulting party is unable to cure within such 30 day period and defaulting party is diligently
pursuing and can demonstrate progress toward curing the default. If the defaulting party is unable
to cure or commence a cure for the Event of Default within said 30 days as required above, the
non-defaulting party may:
(a) Suspend its performance under this Agreement until it receives assurances from the
defaulting party, deemed reasonably adequate by the non-defaulting party, that the defaulting party
will cure its default and continue its performance under this Agreement; and
(b) take such action as the non-defaulting party deems necessary to secure its rights
under this Agreement.
7
CT165-60-1020458.v4
Section 5.3 No Remedy Exclusive. No remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the
non-defaulting party is intended to be exclusive of any other available remedy or remedies, but
each and
Section 5.4 every such remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other
remedy given solely under this Agreement. No delay or omission to exercise any right or power
accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or power or shall be construed to
be a waiver thereof but any such right and power may be exercised from time to time and as often
as may be deemed expedient.
Section 5.5 No Implied Waiver. In the event any covenant contained in this Agreement
should be breached by either party and thereafter waived by the other party, such waiver shall be
limited to the particular breach so waived and shall not be deemed to waive any other concurrent,
previous or subsequent breach hereunder.
Section 5.6 No Personal Obligations. All covenants, stipulations, promises, agreements
and obligations of the City or the Developer contained herein shall be deemed to be the covenants,
stipulations, promises, agreements and obligations of the City or the Developer, as applicable, and
not of any governing body member, officer, agent, servant or employee of the City or the
Developer, as applicable, in their individual capacity.
Section 5.6 Release and Indemnification Covenants. Except for any negligent act of the
following named parties, the Developer hereby releases from and covenants and agrees that the
City and its governing body members, officers, agents, servants, and employees (the “Indemnified
Parties ”) shall not be liable for, and hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnified
Parties against any loss or damage to property or any injury to or death of any person occurring at
or about or resulting from any defect in the Project. The aforesaid indemnification shall not apply
to willful misrepresentation or any willful or wanton misconduct or negligence of the City.
ARTICLE VI
LOOKBACK PROVISIONS
Section 6.1 Lookback Provisions. The Abatement amount has been calculated based on
estimated Total Development Costs of $45,646,074. After completion of the Project, the
Developer agrees to provide the City with documentation to verify the actual Total Development
Costs of the Project. If the actual Total Development Costs are less than the estimated Total
Development Costs, the Abatement amount will be decreased by 50 percent of the amount by
which estimated Total Development Costs exceed actual Total Development Costs if that amount
is $100,000 or more and will be paid in accordance with a revised payment schedule using the
same annual payment percentage of Available Tax specified in Exhibit B. By way of illustration,
if estimated Total Development Costs exceed actual Total Development Costs by $99,999, there
will be no reduction in Abatement. If estimated Total Development Costs exceed actual Total
Development Costs by $100,000, the Abatement will be reduced by $50,000. No payments of
8
CT165-60-1020458.v4
Abatement shall be made until the Developer provides evidence of the actual Total Development
Costs.
ARTICLE VII

the City shall participate in any decision relating to this Agreement which affects his or her
personal interests or the interests of any corporation, partnership or association in which he or she
