BACKGROUND
The property owner at 2823 125th Court W (Wilde Lake Estates) has requested the ability to

is managed in this area via a ditch section with a culvert crossing at each driveway. The lots are large rural
lots with a rural road section.
The owner has agreed to maintain this culvert extension and should the culvert interfere with drainage or
affect other proper use of the City’s right of way, the property owner will remove it. This agreement
terminates upon the conveyance or sale of the property to a third party and will be removed at the
property owner’s expense. The owner also agrees to notify the City within 10 days of the intended
conveyance.
The attached agreement was drafted by the City Attorney and the property owner has agreed to the terms
as well. Once the owner has signed the agreement, they will be responsible for it to be recorded at Dakota
County.
