Box 510 2875 - 14�5th St. W. Rosemount. MN 55068 Re: Pine Bend Development Co. - Amended Grading Permit Dear Mr. Wozniak: As you know this firm represents the Richard Schuh Company which has an interest in the material staekpiled on the land owned by M.G. �stlefora Campany and Pine Bend Develogment Co. and for wl�ich a grading permit has been issued to Pine Benr� Develapment Co. Fine Bend Develapment Ca. had a�plied for an extension f4r that permit into 1990 which was reeamznended as modified by the Pianning Cammission and was denied b�r the City Cauncii at its meeting on November 5, 1988. Mr. Jon Astleford, the attorney for Pine Bend Develapment Co. , the undersigned, Richard Sehuh, Marty Timmons of Pine Bend Development Co. and Fran Davies of Bituminous Materials, Tnc. (BMT) ► met in►ith you anc� the City Attorney, Roger Knutsan in your offices on ,Tanuary 11, 1989. At that time we outlir�ed for you the reasons w� thcaught that the denial of the permit was illegal and waulc3 be averturned by a court upon review. We talked about ways in whicY� all parties could avaid litigation. Thereafter Pine 8�nd IIevel4pment Co. , BMI and Richard Schuh Company agreed to make the fallowing affer tn the City, which if aecepted, woutd eliminate the need for litigatian. Obuiously, if we are correct in our legal analysis, we will prevail in any sueh litigation and will not b� 5ubject to the onerous restrictions that they have authorized me � � • • Mr. Mike Wozniak January 23, 1989 Page 2 to comu�unicate to yau in this letter. The parties agree to offer a settlement to the City to incorpQrate the following general terms: ].. 5chuh will restore the site tQ contours, with use o€ existing topsai,l on site, and seeded, in ce+nformance with an amended site restoration plan which fir�t must be ap�roved by Schuh, the Gity ancl Pine Bend Development Cn. I understand that Richard Bchuh has mek� with yc�u and that yau will be ��nding to him such an amended contour plan. 2. Schuh will file a performance bond with the City in an amount requested by the City, not to exceed �25,p00. 3. BMI wi11 be released fram any restoration obl�.gations by the City and BMI wi11 obta�n its bond fro�n the City when Schuh po�ts his band. 4- 'The permit that had been issued to Pine Bena DevelQpment Co. should be amended to include Pine Bend Develapment Ga. and the Richard Sehuh Company. 5. The permit wi11 be extended to October 15, 1989. 6. If the site is not restared by October 1, 1989, th�n the City may cash the bond, but Schuh, at his option, may �scrow �25,000 cash wi�h the City by detober 1, 1989 and the City wi11 zc�kurn the bQnd. The City then has cash instead af bond, ar has 25 da�s to collect on the br�nd, and can afford to wait until (3ct€�ber 25, i989 to re�tore the site if it is not aiready restored. In th� interim, from October 1 ar before, the City can advertise far bids and reserve to itself the right to award the contract until October 25, 1989. Schuh ir� the interim can complete restoratiQn, and if he cloes, receive baek the $25,OOQ from the City. The City agrees not to cammence restoratian until October 25, 1989. If restoration is co�nmenced by the City on or about 4ct4ber 25, 1989, there will be adequate time ta grade the site and ta plant the seed which will probably germinate still that Fall, and if it does not, it will certainly germinate in the Spring. This is a common practice that is followed by many in the planting af seed. In any event, even if the Gity wanted to wait until the Spring to plant the seed, that is af no cansequence since thP u��ea�a so�.�. will be no different from the thousands of acres af crop Iand that remains uns�eded throughaut the Winter each year. ` � � • Mr. Mike Wozniak January 23, 1989 Page 3 7. The Richard 5chuh Company and Pine Bend Develapm�nt Co. will each waive its right t4 appiy for a further extension of the permit. 8. In the event that the City does not approue the above permit and amended restoration plan by March 1, 1989, all of the above terms and offer of settlement are withdrawn and each party is free to proceed as it deems appropriate. Nothing in this letter should be deemed by the City to imply that W8 d0 not believe the parties proposing this settlea�ent have a strong legal case in the event that we proceed to trial, which we fully intend ta do to proteet our rights in the event this settlement compromise is not fina2ized or that aMs�nt such an agreement, that the parties waive any of the3r rights related to this matter. I understand that City Staff will review this proposal and you will inform me �.f you recommend approval thereof. Further, this matter will be heard by the City Counci�i on Tuesday, February 7, 1989. If the Council approves it, subject to �ity Staff's approval of the final Settlement Agreem�nt, thereafter we or the City Attorney can submit a detailed Settlement Agreement incorporating these terms and the parties can sign that Agreement without the need for further appearances before the Council.

Napper, Councilmember Joseph Walsh, Councilmember John oxborough, Councilmember Dennis Wippermann, Couneilmember : RE. Pine Bend Development Co. Grading Permit Dear Mayor and Councilmembers: Bruce Malkerson's letter of January 23, 1989, proposes a settlement of the dispute with Pine Bend. i recommend approval. � 2here is currently about 50,000 cubic yards of material stoekpiled on the site. The estimated cost of restoring the site is $25,004, The bond that has been posted is far $10,q00. If the City does the work, the City would I�ave t4 advance the $15,000 defici.ency and sue the developer for payment. Before we couZd do the wark we would have to start a lawsuit to get permission to go on the property. The work could nat be done until Spring. Pine IIend ciaims that the request for extension was denied withaut a iegal basis. They argue that if the initial permit didn' t eause a health, welfare, or saf�ty �roblem, then t13e extens�on won't cause any problems. Although we have some reasanably gaod arguments about the difference between a one year permit and a permazysnt business, their arguments may trave some merit.
