required coverage the following fall not later than October 1. Areas seeded at any other
time shall be inspected the following two summers not later than August 1. The required

with no bare spot larger than 1000 square centimeters. At the time of the second growing
season inspection, there shall be seventy-five percent (75%) foliage cover of the specified
species planted as measured from five (6) directly overhead. No more than ten percent
(10%) of the species noted on the site may be weedy species as defined by Article III,
Section 20-41 of the Code of the City of Fort Collins. Determination of required coverage
will be based on fixed transects each ten meters in length, randomly placed in
representative portions of the seeded areas, with plant species or bare ground/rock/litter
being noted every ten (10) centimeters along each transect. The Developer shall warrant
all seeded areas for two growing seasons from the date of completion. The Developer

directly flow, seep, runoff, or be washed into a body of water, wetland or drainageway.
F. Ground Water, Subdrains and Water Rights
1. The City shall not be responsible for, and the Developer, for itself and its
iPA
successor(s) in interest, 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.
2. If the development includes a subdrain system, any such subdrain
system, whether located within private property or within public property such as street
rights -of -way or utility or other easements, shall not be owned, operated, maintained,
repaired or reconstructed by the City and it is agreed that all ownership, operation,
maintenance, repair and reconstruction obligations shall be those of the Developer or the

not be responsible for, and the Developer, for itself and its successor(s) in interest, hereby
agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the City against any damages or injuries sustained

against it to which the foregoing indemnities and hold harmless agreements by the
Developer could apply, and the Developer shall have the right to defend any lawsuit based

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

Agreement (if any) recorded to give record notice of this Agreement. The developer
hereby waives any right to object to any such discrepancy in dates.

assignment of the Developer's rights to develop the Property under the terms and
conditions of this Agreement.

divested of all equitable and legal interest in the Property, the Developer shall be released
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.

element hereof. In the event that either party shall fail to perform according to the terms
of this Agreement, such party may be declared in default. In the event that a party has
been declared in default hereof, such defaulting party shall be given written notice

said default. In the event the default remains uncorrected, the party declaring default may
elect to: (a) terminate the Agreement and seek damages; (b) treat the Agreement as
continuing and require specific performance or; (c) avail itself of any other remedy at law

therein have been completely installed, including all individual lot service lines leading in
and from the main to the property line.
G. The installation of all utilities shown on the final development plan documents
shall be inspected by the Engineering Department of the City and shall be subject to such
department's approval. The Developer agrees to correct any deficiencies in such
installations in order to meet the requirements of the plans and/or specifications applicable
to such installation. In case of conflict, the final development plan documents shall
supersede the standard specifications.
H. All storm drainage facilities shall be so designed and constructed by the
Developer as to protect downstream and adjacent properties against injury and to
adequately serve the Property (and other lands as may be required, if any). The Developer
shall meet or exceed the minimum requirements for storm drainage facilities as have been
established by the; City in its Drainage Master Plans and Design Criteria. The Developer,
for itself and its successor(s) in interest, does hereby indemnify and hold harmless the City
from any and all claims that might arise, 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 agreernent 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
