Open space may be deeded to an established land trust, a government agency, or non-profit organization. Management shall be the responsibility of the land trust or non-profit organization. Maintenance may be performed by the neighborhood homeowner association, through written agreement between the association and the land trust or non-profit organization. i. Open space may be protected by establishing conservation easements in perpetuity in favor of an established land trust or non-profit organization as provided in Minnesota Statutes 84.64 — 84.65.

The form and content of the deed or other instrument establishing the restrictions must be approved by the City prior to the execution and delivery thereof. Notwithstanding any provision of this Ordinance to the contrary, the City may, in cases where conservation restrictions are utilized to meet open space dedication requirements of this Ordinance, waive the requirement that the area subject to the restrictions be platted as a separate outlot. ii. Stormwater drainage systems located within open spaces or the residential lots shall be covered by utility and drainage easements dedicated on the final plat to the City. d.

Management and maintenance of the public recreational areas shall be the responsibility of the City. 3. Staging. When a PUD provides for common or public open space, the total area of common or public open space or land escrow security in any stage of development, shall, at a minimum, bear the same relationship to the total open space to be provided in the entire PUD as the stages or units completed or under development bear to the entire PUD.
