directly or indirectly, as a result of the discharge of injurious storm drainage or seepage
waters from the Property in a manner or quantity different from that which was historically
discharged and caused by the design or construction of the storm drainage facilities,
except for (1) such claims and damages as are caused by the acts or omissions of the City
in maintenance of such facilities as have been accepted by the City for maintenance; (2)
errors, if any, in the general concept of the City's master plans (but not to include any
details of such plans, which details shall be the responsibility of the Developer); and (3)
specific written or otherwise documented directives that may be given to the Developer by
the City. The City, agrees to give notice to the Developer of any claim made against it to
which this indemnity and hold harmless agreement by the Developer could apply, and the
Developer shall have the right to defend any lawsuit based on such claim and to settle any
such claim provided Developer must obtain a complete discharge of all City liability through
such settlement. Failure of the City to give notice of any such claim to the Developer within
ninety (90) days after the City first receives a notice of such claim under the Colorado
Governmental Immunity Act for the same, shall cause this indemnity and hold harmless
agreement by the Developer to not apply to such claim and such failure shall constitute a
release of this indemnity and hold harmless agreement as to such claim. Approval of and
acceptance by the City of any storm drainage facility design or construction shall in no
manner be deemed to constitute a waiver or relinquishment by the City of the aforesaid
indemnification. The Developer shall engage a Colorado licensed professional engineer
to design the storm drainage facilities as aforesaid and it is expressly affirmed hereby that
such engagement shall be intended for the benefit of the City, and subsequent purchasers
of property in the development.
I. The Developer shall pay storm drainage basin fees in accordance with Chapter
26, Article VII of the City Code. Storm drainage improvements eligible for credit or City
repayment under the provisions of Chapter 26 are described together with the estimated

8shall include right-of-way, design and construction costs. See Section II.C, Special
Conditions, Storm Drainage Lines and Appurtenances, for specific instructions.
J. The Developer shall provide the City Engineer with certified Record Plan
Transparencies on Black Image Diazo Reverse Mylars upon completion of any phase of
the construction. Utilities will not be initially accepted prior to as -built drawings being
3
submitted to and approved by the City of Fort Collins.
K. The Developer specifically represents that to the best of its knowledge all
portions of the Property dedicated (both in fee simple and as easements) to the City
associated with this development are in compliance with all environmental protection and
anti -pollution laws, rules, regulations, orders or requirements, including solid waste
requirements, as defined by the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency Regulations at 40
C.F.R., Part 261, and that such portions of the Property as are dedicated to the City
pursuant to this development, are in compliance with all such requirements pertaining to
the disposal or existence in or on such dedicated property of any hazardous substances,
pollutants or contaminants, as defined by the Comprehensive Environmental Response
Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended, and regulations promulgated
thereunder. The Developer does hereby indemnify and hold harmless the City from any
liability whatsoever that may be imposed upon the City by any governmental authority,
pertaining to the disposal of hazardous substances, pollutants or contaminants, and
cleanup necessitated by leaking underground storage tanks, excavation and/or backfill of
hazardous substances, pollutants or contaminants, or environmental cleanup
responsibilities of any nature whatsoever on, of, or related to any property dedicated to the
City in connection with this development, provided that such disposal or cleanup is not
necessitated by circumstances arising entirely after the date of acceptance by the City of
the public improvements constructed on the dedicated property, except to the extent that
such circumstances are the result of acts or omissions of the Developer. The Developer
further agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the City from any claims or actions based
directly, indirectly or in any manner on any of the aforementioned environmental risks
brought against the City by third parties arising as a result of the dedication of portions of
the Property to the City in connection with this development. Said indemnification shall not
extend to claims, actions or other liability arising as a result of any hazardous substance,
pollutant or contaminant generated or deposited by the City, its agents or representatives,
upon portions of the Property dedicated to the City in connection with this development.

indemnity and hold harmless agreement by the Developer could apply, and the Developer
shall have the right to defend any lawsuit based on such claim and to settle any such claim
provided Developer must obtain a complete discharge of all City liability through such
settlement. Failure of the City to give notice of any such claim to the Developer within
ninety (90) days after the City first receives a notice of such claim under the Colorado
Governmental Immunity Act for the same, shall cause this indemnity and hold harmless
agreement by the Developer to not apply to such claim and such failure shall constitute a
release of this indemnity and hold harmless agreement as to such claim.

C. Storm Drainage Lines and Appurtenances
1. The Developer and the City agree that all on -site and off -site storm
drainage improvements, as shown on the approved final development plan documents,
shall be completed by the Developer in accordance with said final development plan
documents prior to the issuance of more than nine (9) building permits in this development.
Completion of improvements shall include the certification by a professional engineer
licensed in Colorado that the drainage facilities which serve this development have been
constructed in conformance with said final development plan documents. Said certification
shall be submitted to the City at least two weeks prior to the date of issuance of any more
than nine (9) building permits for the development.
2. The Developer agrees to provide and maintain erosion control
improvements as shown on the approved final development plan documents to stabilize
all over -lot grading in and adjacent to this development. The Developer shall also be
required to post a non -expiring letter of credit in the amount of $30,097 prior to beginning
construction to guarantee the proper installation and maintenance of the erosion control
measures shown on the approved final development plan documents. Said security
deposit(s) shall be made in accordance with the criteria set forth in the City's Storm
Drainage Design Criteria and Construction Standards (Criteria). If, at any time, the
Developer fails to abide by the provisions of the approved final development plan
documents or the Criteria, the City may enter upon the Property for the purpose of making
such improvements and undertaking such activities as may be necessary to ensure that
the provisions of said plans and the Criteria are properly enforced. The City may apply
such portion of the security deposit(s) as may be necessary to pay all costs incurred by the
City in undertaking the administration, construction, and/or installation of the erosion
control measures required by said plans and the Criteria. In addition, the City shall have
the option to withhold building permits and certificates of occupancy, as stated in
Paragraph III.D of this Agreement, as it deems necessary in order to ensure that the
Developer installs and maintains the erosion control measures throughout the buildout of
this development.
3. The Developer and the City agree that the storm drainage system for this
development contains some features that make it important to construct the facilities in
accordance with the plans and to ensure that the facilities are maintained and kept
operational throughout the buildout of this development and at all times thereafter. Forthis
reason the following additional requirements shall be followed for building on Lots 11
through 15, 23 through 25, and 29 through 35:
a. The Developer shall be required to file a notice with the Larimer County Clerk
and Recorder describing the landscaping and fencing restrictions that exist for the
5
drainage easements on each of said lots. Said notice shall reference the location
of the specific restrictions shown on plans and notes in the approved final
development plan documents. Said notice shall be filed in a City approved form
prior to the sale of any lots affected by such restrictions.
4. The Developer and the City agree that it is important that all lots be
graded to drain in the configuration shown on the approved final development plan
documents. For this reason the following additional requirements shall be followed for
building on all Lots:
Prior to the issuance of a certificate of occupancy for each of said lots the
Developer shall provide the City with certification that the lot has been graded
correctly (including the grading of any minor swales, if applicable); the lot corner
elevations specified on the approved final development plan documents are correct
and in accordance with the approved final development plan documents; and the
minimum floor elevation for all buildings constructed on said lot has been completed
in accordance with the approved final development plan documents. Said
certification shall be completed by a Colorado licensed professional engineer and
shall be submitted to the City at least two weeks prior to the date of issuance of the
desired certificate of occupancy.
5. Lots 6, 9 through 11, 15, 26, and 27 in this development abut certain
storm drainage facilities and it is agreed that it is of the utmost importance that no storm
water from said facilities enters structures built on said lots. In order to provide the
assurance that structures built on said lots are constructed at an elevation that said storm
water cannot enter, the approved final development plan documents contain specifications
for the minimum elevation for any opening to each structure. Prior to the issuance of a
certificate of occupancy for each of said structure, the Developer shall provide certification
from a professional engineer licensed in Colorado that the lowest opening to said structure
is at or above the minimum elevation required on the approved final development plan
documents. Said certification is in addition to, and may be done in conjunction with, the
site certification described in paragraph II.C.1. above.
6. The Developer shall obtain the City's prior approval of any changes from
the approved final development plan documents in grade elevations and/or storm drainage
facility configuration that occur as a result of the construction of houses and/or
development of lots, whether by the Developer or other parties. The City reserves the right
to withhold the issuance of building permits and certificates of occupancies for this
development until the City has approved such changes as being acceptable for the safe
and efficient delivery of storm drainage water.
7. The Developer and the City agree that the Developer is obligated to
maintain all on -site storm drainage facilities not accepted for maintenance by the City and
all off -site storm drainage facilities not accepted for maintenance by the City serving this
development and outside of the public rights -of -way.
0
8. The developer and the City agree that the channel protection behind lots
23, 25, and 26 is not to be initially installed by the developer. The developer and the City
shall monitor any potential erosion in that channel during development construction
activities and for a period of five years after the start of construction activities. If it is
determined by the City that erosion in that area is a problem, then the developer shall, at
its own cost, install the designed erosion control protection as shown on sheets 5 and 6 of
the approved project development plans.
9. The developer and the City agree that a detailed grading plan shall be
submitted to and approved by the City prior to the release of any building permits for lots
1 through 22. This detailed grading plan shall define the drainage around the building and
shall call out all proposed building finished floor elevations, all grade breaks in the terrain
around the building and shall show all needed drainage swales. A grading certification by
a licensed Professional Engineer in the State of Colorado, showing that the surveyed
grades comply with the approved grading plan for each of the said lots 1 through 22 shall
be provided and approved by the City prior to the release of a certificate of occupancy for
each of the completed buildings on these lots.
D. Streets.
1. Subject to the conditions of this Agreement, the City agrees to reimburse
the Developer for oversizing public street improvements along Seneca Street and Harmony
Road for those portions of said streets abutting the Property as shown on the approved
final development plan documents. Reimbursement for Seneca Street shall be for
oversizing the street from local (access) standards to collector standards excluding street
oversizing reimbursement for the median. Reimbursement for Harmony Road shall be for
oversizing the sidewalk from local (access) standards to arterial standards. The City shall
make reimbursement to the Developer for the aforesaid oversized street improvements in
accordance with Section 24-112 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 24-112 (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 24-112 (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
VA
Section 24-112 (d).
2. It is understood that the improvements that are to be constructed in the
public right-of-way as described in this Section II(D) are "City improvements" (as defined
below) and, as such, any contract for the construction of the same must be executed in
writing. If the cost of such improvements exceeds the sum of Thirty Thousand Dollars
($30,000), the contract for the construction of the same must be submitted to a competitive
bidding process resulting in an award to the lowest responsible bidder; and evidence must
be submitted to the City prior to the commencement of the work showing that the award
was given to the lowest responsible bidder. If the cost of such improvements exceeds Fifty
Thousand Dollars ($50,000), the contract for the construction of the improvements must
be insured by a performance bond or other equivalent security. For purposes of this
paragraph, the term "City improvements" shall mean either (1) existing improvements
owned by the City that are to be modified or reconstructed, or (2) any improvements
funded in whole or in part by the City.
3. The Developer agrees to reimburse the City the sum of $40,631, plus a
percentage added to recognize the effects of inflation, for the cost to construct Harmony
Road adjacent to the property. The inflation factor shall be calculated using the
construction cost index for Denver as published in the Engineering News Record (ENR)
of November 1998, and the same index published in the ENR in the month preceding
payment of the reimbursement. Payment shall be made to the City prior to the issuance
of the first building permit.
4. The Developer and the City agree that the Developer is responsible for
all costs for the initial installation of traffic signing and striping for this development related
to the development's local street operations. In addition the Developer is responsible for
all costs for traffic signing and striping related to directing traffic access to and from the
development (e.g., all signing and striping for a right turn lane into the development site).
E. Ground Water
1. The City shall not be responsible for, and the Developer hereby agrees
to indemnify and hold harmless the City against, any damages or injuries sustained in the
development as a result of ground water seepage or flooding, structural damage, or other
damage unless such damages or injuries are sustained as a result of the City's failure to
properly maintain its storm drainage facilities in the development. The City agrees to give
notice to the Developer of any claim made against it to which this indemnity and hold
harmless agreement by the Developer could apply, and the Developer shall have the right
to defend any lawsuit based on such claim and to settle any such claim provided Developer
must obtain a complete discharge of all City liability through such settlement. Failure of the
City to give notice of any such claim to the Developer within ninety (90) days after the City
first receives notice of such claim under the Colorado Governmental Immunity Act for the
same, shall cause! this indemnity and hold harmless agreement by the Developer to not
apply to such claim and such failure shall constitute a release of this indemnity and hold
E:?
harmless agreement as to such claim.
F. Natural Resources
1. The developer and the City agree that no grading shall occur outside of the
"limits of development", as the same are shown on attachment "C". The limits of
development shall be delineated with a construction fence and said construction fence
shall be installed prior to the commencement of any grading or construction within this
development. The Natural Resources Department shall be contacted prior to any off -site
grading that may occur on the Cathy Fromme Praire due to the sensitivity of the site.
2. Before commencement of construction on the development site, any prairie
dogs inhabiting portions of the site within the limits of development shall be relocated or
humanly eradicated by the developer by city approved methods as set forth in the Chapter
4 of the City Code, and when applicable, as reviewed and approved by the Colorado
Division of Wildlife.
III. 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 and/or other areas as deemed necessary by the City Engineer and
Traffic Engineer in accordance with the City's "Work Area Traffic Control Handbook" and
shall not remove said safety devices until the construction has been completed .
B. As required pursuant to Chapter 20, Article IV of the City Code, the Developer
shall, at all times, keep the public right-of-way free from accumulation of waste material,
rubbish, or building materials caused by the Developer's operation, or the activities of
individual builders and/or subcontractors; shall remove such rubbish as often as necessary,
but no less than daily 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 or as a result
of building activity. 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 l the problem is corrected to the satisfaction of the City Engineer. 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. The Developer also
agrees to require all contractors within the development to keep the public right-of-way
clean and free from accumulation of dirt, rubbish, and building materials.
C. The Developer hereby agrees that it will require its contractors and
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
0
