WHEREAS, the Declarant desires to subject the Property to certain conditions and restrictions imposed by the MCWD as a condition to issuance of Permit # 24-310 for the mutual benefit of the MCWD and the owners of the Property. NOW, THEREFORE, Declarant makes this Declaration and hereby declares that this Declaration shall constitute covenants to run with the Property in perpetuity, and further declares that the Property shall be owned, used, occupied and conveyed subject to the covenants, restrictions, easements, charges and liens set forth in this Declaration, all of which shall be binding on all persons owning or acquiring any right, title or interest in the Property, and their heirs, successors, personal representatives and assigns. All features requiring maintenance identified on the scaled site plan for the Property attached hereto and incorporated herein as Exhibit C will be maintained in perpetuity in accordance with as follows: a. Buffer vegetation will not be cultivated, cropped, pastured, mowed, fertilized, subject to the placement of mulch or yard waste, or otherwise disturbed, except for periodic cutting or burning that promotes the health of the buffer, actions to address disease or invasive species, mowing for purposes of public safety, temporary disturbance for placement or repair of buried utilities, or other actions to maintain or improve buffer quality, each as approved by MCWD staff in writing. Pesticides and herbicides may be used in accordance with Minnesota Department of Agriculture rules and guidelines. No new structure or hard surface will be placed within a buffer, except that construction of a trail or path of no more than 4 feet in width to provide riparian access through the buffer is acceptable. No fill, debris or other material will be excavated from or placed within a buffer. b. Permanent wetland buffer monuments will be maintained in the locations shown on the approved site plan. Language shall indicate the purpose of the buffer, restrictions, and the name and phone number of the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District. 2. STORMWATER FACILITIES a. Stormwater retention and treatment basin(s). Stormwater retention and treatment basin(s) must be inspected at least once a year to determine if the basin's retention and treatment characteristics are adequate and continue to perform per design. Culverts and outfall structures must be inspected at least annually and kept clear of any obstructions or sediment accumulation. Sediment accumulation must be measured by a method accurate to within one vertical foot. A storage treatment basin will be considered inadequate if sediment has decreased the wet storage volume by 50 percent of its original design volume. Based on this inspection, if the stormwater basin(s) is identified for sediment cleanout, the basin(s) will be restored to its original design contours and vegetation in
