Developer is responsible for all permits relating to cleaning and dredging of ponds, including permits 12 required by the Department of Natural Resources and the Army Corps of Engineers. (d)Buffer Area Adjacent to Ponds. All ponds servicing the Development Property whether such ponds are located on City owned property, easements running in favor of the City or on private property must maintain a minimum of an 8 foot natural buffer from the high water mark. Notwithstanding the above, one access to each pond may be created by the City in a location determined by the City in its sole discretion. Developer shall be responsible for the cost of signage around said buffer areas indicating that the buffer is part of a wetland restoration project which may not be distributed without the written permission of the City. Said signs shall be posted in locations reasonably determined by the City. 6.16Storm Water. The Developer shall pay for storm water and drainage improvements on the current development phase the greater of either (a) $.20 per square foot of the “Net Developable property”, or (b) the actual cost (labor and materials) plus related engineering cost for storm water improvements. “Net Developable Property” is defined as the gross land area minus street right- of-way and other land area dedicated to the public. The Developer shall pay $_____________ based upon Net Developable Property of _________ square feet. “Storm Water Improvements” are defined as all storm sewer pipe, catch basins, manholes, riprap, and holding ponds installed by the Developer’s Contractor. If the Developer does not expend at least $.20 per square foot of Net Developable Property on storm water improvements, Developer shall remit the difference between the amount actually spent on storm water improvements and the $.20 per square foot to the City. This cost differential will be used for downstream storm water improvement costs which may have been, or will be, incurred by the City. Developer shall provide the City with a schedule of values for storm sewer improvements when the project is substantially compete. Upon approval by the City of the schedule of values, the City will invoice the Developer for the amount due. Payment is due within two weeks of the date of the invoice. 6.17Monuments.

Developer shall also reimburse the City for any add-to-construction costs related to the installation of street lighting or private utilities within the Development. Developer shall also be responsible for the cost of acquiring and installing street signage consistent with that used in other recent developments within the City. Such reimbursement shall be made within 14 days of the date of mailing the City's notice of costs. If such reimbursement is not made, the City may place a hold on all construction or other work related to the Development, or refuse the issuance of building permits until all costs are paid in full. The City may further declare a default and collect its costs from the security deposited in accordance with Section 3.10 of this Agreement. 6.19Renewal of Security. If any escrow account or bond deposited with the City in accordance with this Agreement shall have an expiration date prior to the Developer's obligations hereunder being complete, the Developer shall renew such security or deposit substitute security of equal value meeting the approval of the City at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of such security. Failure to post such alternate security or renew such security shall constitute a default and the City may place a moratorium on all construction or other work related to the Development, refuse the issuance of building permits, and declare the entire amount thereof due and payable to the City in cash. Such cash shall thereafter be held by the City as a security deposit in the same manner as the security theretofore held by the City. 6.20Platting.
