Conditions" in this document.
E. Except as otherwise herein specifically agreed, the Developer agrees to install
and pay for all water, sanitary sewer, and storm drainage facilities and appurtenances, and
all streets, curbs, gutters, sidewalks, bikeways and other public improvements required by

does hereby indernnify 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

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

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 or
any third party, 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 damages or
liability are not caused 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. 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. 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.

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 any certificate of occupancy for the 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
certificate of occupancy for the Development.

and operational functions of all drainage facilities throughout the build -out of this
Development. If at any time following certification (as required pursuant to paragraph one
(1) above) of said drainage facilities and during the construction of structures and /or lots
within this Development the City deems that said drainage facilities no longer comply with
the approved plans, the developer shall bring such facilities back up to the standards and
specifications as shown on the approved plans. Failure to maintain the structural integrity
and operational function of said drainage facilities following certification shall result in the
withholding of the issuance of additional building permits and/ or certificates of occupancy
until such drainage facilities are repaired to the operational function and structural integrity
which was approved by the City.

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 security deposit in the amount of $ 10,450 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,
notwithstanding any provisions contained in paragraph III(J) to the contrary, 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.
4. The buildings to be constructed 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 said buildings. In order to provide the assurance that said
5
buildings are constructed at an elevation that said storm water cannot enter, the approved
final development plan documents contain specifications forthe minimum elevation for any
opening to each such building. Prior to the issuance of a certificate of occupancy for each
of said buildings, the Developer shall provide certification from a professional engineer
licensed in Colorado that the lowest opening to said building 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.
5. 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

to withhold the issuance of building permits and certificates of occupancy for this
Development until the City has approved such changes as being acceptable for the safe
and efficient delivery of storm drainage water.
6. 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.
It is also agreed that the Developer shall maintain the off -site detention pond shared by the
Sunstone Village Subdivision 71" Filing and the Harmony School Shops 2nd Filing for a
period of three (3) years from the date of acceptance by the City of the Professional
Engineer certification of the Pond. At the expiration of said three (3) year period the City
shall take over the maintenance responsibility of said pond, provided the pond has been
maintained properly by the Developer, is fully functional, has a permanent stand of grass,
and is deemed acceptable by the City.
The landscaping being disturbed by the installation of the off -site sanitary and storm sewer
shall be replaced and reestablished, to an equal or better condition than existed prior to
the time of disturbance. A cash deposit totaling $ 15,000 shall be deposited with the City,
to guarantee the replacement and/or reestablishment of the landscaping. Said amount
shall be deposited with the City prior to the issuance of any building permit for this
development. Said funds shall be held for a period of three years from the date of City
approval of certification of the improvements. Within the said 3 year period of time if the
landscaping dies or fails to become established the developer shall replace and/ or
reestablish the Ilandscaping. If the developer fails to replace and/or establish the
landscaping in a timely manner the City may use the funds deposited with the City to
perform the work, and the remaining funds shall be held for three years from the date of
said work to guarantee the establishment of said work. At the end of the three year period
any remaining portion of the $15,000, not including interest (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 better assist the City in making reimbursement to the party who does
such work) shall be returned to the developer.

1. The Developer and the City agree that no street oversizing reimbursement
from the City is due the Developer for this Development.
2. The Developer agrees to reimburse the City the sum of $270,213.40, as
provided below for the cost to construct Timberline Road and Milestone Drive adjacent to
the Harmony School Shops PUD plus a percentage added to recognize the effects of
inflation. The Developer shall make reimbursement to the City as each lot is developed
based upon the proportion that such lot is to the total size of the Harmony School Shops
PUD (totaling 720,134 square feet). The inflation factor shall be calculated using the
construction cost index for Denver as published in the Engineering News Record (ENR)
of August, 1997, and the same index published in the ENR in the month preceding
payment of the reimbursement. Payment shall be made to the City for each lot prior to the
issuance of any building permit on such lot.
3. 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).
4. A Colorado State Highway Access Permit must be obtained by the
Developer prior to beginning construction of any improvements on State Highway 68
(Harmony Road). All improvements to said street shall be completed prior to the issuance
of any certificate of occupancy.
5. Following completion of all public infrastructure improvements, the
Developer shall continue to have responsibility for maintenance and repair of said
improvements in accordance with Sections 29-13 and 29-14 of the Transitional Land Use
Regulations of the City.
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
7
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 clairn and such failure shall constitute a release of this indemnity and hold
harmless agreement as to such claim.
F. Hazards and Emergency Access
1. No combustible material will be allowed on the site until a permanent
water system is installed by the Developer and approved by the City.
2. Prior to beginning any building construction, and throughout the buildout
of this Development, the Developer shall provide and maintain at all times an accessway
