As part of the Arasan Apartments development, private utilities (including sanitary sewer, water main and storm sewer) will be constructed. The private utilities connect to City of Shakopee public utilities. In an effort to protect the public infrastructure, the developer must record a Utility Facilities Easement Agreement.

The Utility Facilities Easement Agreement is a template city agreement required of all private developments and was a condition of approval for the preliminary and final plat and PUD amendment pertaining to this development, approved by the City Council on June 16, 2020. The purpose of the agreement is to protect the city from non-compliant and non-responsive property owners and provides the city rights to enter the property and maintain and/or repair the utility facilities if the property owner fails to do so. The agreement also allows the city to collect all expenses related to any such maintenance or repairs.
