WETHERILLE May 10, 2006 Judy Cox, City Clerk Shakopee City Hall 129 South Holmes St. Shakopee, MN 55379 RE: City Council Meeting of May 16. 2006 Dear Ms. Cox, The undersigned represents various Brittany Village 5th Addition Homeowner's Associations. Please consider this a fonnal request by the residents of Brittany Village to have the issues addressed in this correspondence put on the regular agenda for the City Council meeting on May 16,2006. \ Brittany Village would like to bring to the attention of the City Council the failure by Tollefson Development to adequately complete the common recreation area (CRA) in Brittany Village 5th Addition. Please forward this timeline, as well as the enclosed documentation to the council members prior to the meeting. eRA. Timeline December 20, 2002 Developer's Agreement 2003 Construction of Brittany Village 5th begins September 2004 Bruce Watson, President of Brittany Village 5th, Block I contacts MW Johnson Builders and Tollefson Development regarding deficient construction and preparation of CRA. Watson is told that construction of CRA is responsibility of Tollefson. Watson speaks with Gary Wollschlager, Vice President of Tollefson Development regarding wood chip trail, basketball court, shelter and green areas. Wollschlager denies responsibility. Spring 200S Brittany Village Sth begins contacting city staff, Mark Themig. May 9, 2005 Andrea Weber with City makes several attempts to contact project manager at Tollefson, receives no response. Weber and Themig 206 SCOTT STREET · SHAKOPEE, MINNESOTA 55379 TELEPHONE (952) 445-2817 I FAX (952) 445-0812 E-MAIL: dmoriarty@jmwlaw.com Ivickerman@jmwlaw,com swalburg@jmw1aw.com kwetherille@jmwlaw,com ~. indicate they will try and contact upper level management at Tollefson. Themig indicates that the CRA is not completed in accordance with developer's agreement and City intentions regarding park spaces. Themig indicates that if necessary, matter will be brought to City Council. June 1, 2005 Weber indicates Tollefson's refusal to cure CRA problems and that Tollefson threatens to bring the matter before City Council for approval of resolution leaving CRA as is. July 15, 2005 Meeting at Jaspers, Moriarty & Walburg, P.A. with members of Brittany Village 5th, Mark Themig and Andrea Weber to discuss CRA issues. Late Summer! Wood chip trail replaced with blacktop. Two basketball hoops Fall 2005 installed. Concerns of Brittanv VdIaJ!e sd' While the trail and basketball hoops were finally completed, the CRA is still in shambles. City staff has indicated that the green space should have been seeded with a prairie-type seed. Currently the open space is overgrown with noxious weeds and thistle bushes that make the space uninviting for use. Green space is also cluttered with left over construction debris and large boulders. While maintenance of the CRA is the responsibility of Brittany Village 5th, the area was never fully completed and thus cannot be mowed as it currently sits. When the wood chip trail was removed, excess wood chips were dumped in a pile on the edge of the CRA. The shelter platform sits several inches above-grade, creating a hazard for children, strollers, the elderly and the handicapped. Request for Action Brittany Village 5th respectfully requests that the City require Tollefson Development to remove all of the noxious weeds that have overgrown the CRA, debris and any other hazards in the green space. The area needs to be re-graded (all of the topsoil was stripped away during development leaving only sand and rock) and seeded with a suitable low maintenance prairie-mix seed. The area around the shelter should be re-graded to be level with the shelter and exposed weed blanket replaced or installed properly. This has been a problem area for over 2 years. Yet another growing season has begun, and the CRA is an unattractive, unusable space. Brittany Village 5th respectfully requests the assistance of the City Council on this matter. . I look forward to addressing these issues before the Council on May 16, 2006. If you have any questions regarding this letter, please feel free to contact the undersigned.

Wetherille -Atty.' Cc: Mark Noble; Michael Leek; Mark McNeill; Judy Cox SUbject: Brittany Village 5th Follow-Up Hi Bruce and Kevin - I communicated with Gary Wollschlager from Tollefson Development that you will be attending tonight's City Council meeting. He will be present for tonight's meeting for the discussion. He also met with Mark Noble and I at the site today. According to Gary, he assumed that the contractor that Tollefson had hired finished the work with the trail installation last year. After visiting the site, it sounds like he agreed to the following: 1. Open Space Cleanup and Seeding He will have a contractor work up the open space area, remove the debris, and reseed the area. We walked most of the open space and found some construction material,buta lot of the debris appears to have blown into the site. Also found a couple christmas trees that appear to have been disposed of back there. One of the answers we need from you is what kind of seed would you like planted. I know Andrea was working on this with Bruce, but not sure what the final outcome was. There are two options: A. Hardy Turf Seeding: This will require fairly regular mowing to maintain the weeds, but would allow the area to be used for general recreation. The area directly east of the shelter is a good example of what this would look like, and it would fill in over time with regular mowing. Obviously, without irrigation, it isn't going to be like the irrigated turf areas around the buildings, and will brown during dry seasons. B. Native Seed Mix: This seeding is more natural and is more similar to what might be found along 169. It's usually a mix of hardy grasses (it doesn't typically contain the flowering. prairie plants that one might see in native prairies). It does need to be maintained by mowing periodically, and wouldn't be as conducive for recreation uses. Whichever option you want, the key in preventing weeds that have grown up is to mow the area as there are un-mowed areas further west that will continue to spread plant seeds. 2. Trail Turf Establishment The contractor will re-establish turf along the trail. This will either be sodded or seeded. 3. Basketball Court Lines will be painted on the basketball court, per the approved plans. 4. Landscaping Around the Basketball Court and Shelter Still in discussion, but I suggested that they remove the woodchips around the shelter and the basketball court, regrade this area to eliminate the lip around the shelter, and plant grass. We have found that woodchips require regular maintenance (replacement) and look bad over time. Turf should be a better long-term solution, although you'll need to mow it regularly. If you prefer that the woodchips stay, let me know and I'll pass that along. The only other item that Kevin and I talked about was the topsoil. I did see some areas where there wasn't 1 much top soil, but I don't know what the site was like before development. It would be pretty difficult to haul in anything at this point, as there are no access points large enough for trucks. Let me know your preference regarding the seed mix and the wood chips, and anything else. Mark 952-233-9514 2 Message Pagelof2 Bruce: In answer to your request on the improvements for Brittany Village 5th Addition, Joe Swentek advised me sometime in December, 2004 that the improvements were done and that the security may be released. Subsequently, Andrea Weber advised that I retain about $30,000 for the construction of an 8 foot trail leading to the basketball court and shelter along the north property line; and, construction ofa basektball court and shelter in the NE comer of the plat, as outlined in the Developer's Agreement. I did reduce the LOC to $30,000 on 2/2/05. . The maintenance bond for the Brittany Village 5th Addition - utility and street construction in the amount of $612,634.00 was good for one year beginning October 28, 2004. According to a letter from Mark Noble to M.W. Johnson, dated July 20,2005, the Letters of Credit for landscaping improvements were reduced as follows: 1st to $4,500 4th to $2,500 5th to $3,000 Judy 5/16/200~
