approved utility plans and said completion shall be
certified as being in accordance with said plans by
a licensed professional engineer. Said
certification shall be received by the City prior
to the issuance of a building permit for any of the
above lots. Prior to the issuance of a certificate
of occupancy for each of the above lots, a
recertification by such engineer that the drainage
system's function and adequacy to serve its purpose
has not been impaired by the construction and
landscaping on said lot, shall be required by the
City.
(b) Homes constructed on lots 17 through 28 in Phase 2
shall be constructed at, or above, the specified
minimum elevations shown on the approved utility
plans. To insure compliance with said elevation

D. Streets.
1. Subject to the conditions of this Agreement, the City
agrees to reimburse the Developer for oversizing public street
improvements along Drake Road for those portions of said street
abutting the Property as shown on the approved utility plans.
Reimbursement for Drake Road shall be for oversizing the street
from residential standards to arterial standards. The City shall
make reimbursement to the Developer for the aforesaid oversized
street improvements in accordance with Section 24-121 of the Code
of the City. The Developer agrees and understands that the City
shall have no obligation to make reimbursement payments for street
oversizing unless funds for such payments shall first have been
budgeted and appropriated from the Street Oversizing Fund by the
City Council; and the Developer further understands that to the
extent that funds are not available for such reimbursement, the
City may not, in the absence of the Developer's agreement, require
the construction, at the Developer's expense, of any oversized
portion of streets not reasonably necessary to offset the traffic
impacts of the development. The Developer does hereby agree to
construct the aforesaid oversized street improvements with the
understanding that the Developer may not be fully reimbursed by the
City for the cost of such construction. The Developer further
agrees to accept payment in accordance with Section 24-121 (d) of
the Code of the City as full and final settlement and complete
accord and satisfaction of all obligations of the City to make
reimbursements to the Developer for street oversizing expenses. It
is anticipated by the City that the City's reimbursement, in
accordance with Section 24-121 (d), would not be less than fifty
percent (50%) of the Developer's actual expenses incurred and will
be calculated in accordance with the formula as set forth in
Section 24-121 (d).
2. The Developer and the City agree that the Developer
is obligated to construct the northern one-half of the Moore Lane
crossing over• the Pleasant Valley and Lake Canal ditch. At the
time of execution of this agreement, it is not known when the
Developer will proceed with development of the property it
currently owns to the south of Fox Creek P.U.D., First Filing which
requires the construction of the ditch crossing in order to extend
Moore Lane to the south. Therefore, the Developer shall deposit
with the City, cash to be used by the City to pay for the future
construction of said ditch crossing. The amount of said cash shall
be equal to the estimated cost to construct said improvements,
which estimate shall be prepared by the Developer and approved by
the City, plus 10% to cover the cost of construction engineering,
surveying, and project management, plus an additional 10% to cover
the cost for construction contingency. Said cash shall be
►1
deposited with the City prior to the issuance of more than 60% of
the building permits in the First Filing. Any interest earned by
the City as a result of said deposit shall be the property of the
City to cover administration and inflation in order to assist the
City in making reimbursement to the party that constructs said
improvements. In the event that at some future date it is
determined and agreed to by the City that Moore Lane will not
extend to the south across the Pleasant Valley and Lake Canal
ditch, said deposit and interest shall be used for the vacation of
the right-of-way and removal of Moore Lane south of the
intersection with McKeag Drive and for the reconstruction of McKeag
Drive to create a "T" intersection with Moore Lane.
3. Since the potential exists at this time for Moore
Lane to end at McKeag Drive as described above, the Developer
hereby agrees to restrict lots 25 and 26 to access solely from
McKeag Drive as noted on the plat.
II. Miscellaneous
A. The Developer agrees to provide and install, at its
expense, adequate barricades, warning signs and similar safety
devices at all construction sites within the public right-of-way

Engineering in accordance with the City's "Work Area Traffic
Control Handbook" and shall not remove said safety devices until
the construction has been completed and approved by the Director of
Engineering.
B. The Developer shall, at all times, keep the public right-
of-way free from accumulation of waste material or rubbish caused
by the Developer's operation; shall remove such rubbish no less
than weekly and; at the completion of the work, shall remove all
such waste materials, rubbish, tools, construction equipment,
machinery, and surplus materials from the public right-of-way. The
Developer further agrees to maintain the finished street surfaces
so that they are free from dirt caused by the Developer's
operation. Any excessive accumulation of dirt and/or construction
materials shall be considered sufficient cause for the City to
withhold building permits and/or certificates of occupancy until
the problem :is corrected to the satisfaction of the Director of
Engineering. If the Developer fails to adequately clean such
streets within two (2) days after receipt of written notice, the
City may have the streets cleaned at the Developer's expense and
the Developer shall be responsible for prompt payment of all such
costs.
C. The Developer hereby agrees that it will require its
subcontractors to cooperate with the City's construction inspectors
by ceasing operations when winds are of sufficient velocity to
create blowing dust which, in the inspector's opinion, is hazardous
to the public health and welfare.
91
D. When the inspector determines that erosion (either by wind
or water) is likely to be a problem, the surface area of erodible
earth material exposed at any one time shall not exceed 200,000
square feet for earthworks operations. Temporary or permanent
erosion control shall be incorporated into the development at the
earliest practicable time. By way of explanation and without
limitation, said control may consist of seeding with approved
grasses, temporary dikes, gabions, and/or other devices.
E. The Developer shall, pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement, complete all improvements and perform all other
obligations, required herein, as such improvements or obligations
may be shown on the original plat and related documents, or any
replat as subsequently filed by the Developer, and the City may
withhold such. building permits and certificates of occupancy as it
deems necessary to ensure performance hereof.
F. Nothing herein contained shall be construed as a waiver of
any requirements of the City Code, and the Developer agrees to
comply with all requirements of the same.
G. In the event the City waives any breach of this Agreement,
no such waiver shall be held or construed to be a waiver of any
subsequent breach hereof.
H. Financial obligations of the City of Fort Collins payable
after the current fiscal year and/or not appropriated or budgeted
are contingent upon funds for that purpose being appropriated,
budgeted and otherwise made available.
I. This Agreement shall run with the Property and shall be
binding upon the parties hereto, their personal representatives,
heirs, successors, grantees and assigns. It is agreed that all
improvements required pursuant to this Agreement touch and concern
the Property regardless of whether such improvements are located on
the Property. Assignment of interest within the meaning of this
paragraph shall specifically include, but not be limited to, a
conveyance or assignment of any portion of the Developer's real or
proprietary interest in the Property, as well as any assignment of
the Developer's rights to develop the Property under the terms and
conditions of this Agreement.
J. In the event the Developer transfers title to the Property
and is thereby divested of all equitable and legal interest in the
Property, the City hereby agrees to release said Developer from
liability under this Agreement with respect to any breach of the
terms and conditions of this Agreement occurring after the date of
any such transfer of interest. In such event, the succeeding
property owner shall be bound by the terms of this Agreement.
K. Each and every term of this Agreement shall be deemed to
be a material element hereof. In the event that either party shall
