RE: __________________________________________ (Project Name)

To: the City of Duluth Mayor and City Council

This letter is to guarantee the plantings and landscape material required by the City of Duluth Unified
Development Code at the said project for a period of twelve (12) months from the date installation is
completed and approved by the City of Duluth Director of Planning and Development or other representative
of the City of Duluth Mayor and City Council . Said City approval of installation shall be evidenced by the
signature of such authorized representative on the date shown, below. Failure to obtain such City approval
shall automatically extend the beginning of this warranty period until such approval is granted.

I understand and agree that the City’s Development Inspector or other representative of the City of Duluth
Mayor and City Council will perform an inspection of the plantings and landscape material by the end of the
twelve (12) month guarantee period. Thereafter, the Owner either will be notified of compliance with the
Buffer and Landscaping requirements of the City of Duluth Unified Development Code, or will be notified in
writing of any replacements or restorations that must be made to maintain such compliance.

I understand and agree that I am required to replace any plantings that are found to be dead or near death,
and to replace or restore any landscape material that is damaged or missing, in accordance with the
notification of such replacements or restorations made by the City to the Owner. Replacement must be
completed within thirty (30) calendar days from said written notification to the Owner from the City or a
Performance Surety must be posted with the City for such period as necessary to guarantee replacement
or restoration of the plantings or the landscape material.
