THIS AGREEMENT, is made and entered into this __� I_f day of v�Y
2001, by and between the CITY OF FORT COLLINS, COLORADO, a Municipal
Corporation, hereinafter referred to as the "City"; HEWLETT-PACKARD COMPANY, a
Delaware Corporation hereinafter referred to as the "Developer."
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, the Developer -is the owner of certain real property situated in the
County of Larimer, State of Colorado, (hereafter sometimes referred to as the "Property"
or "Development") and legally described as follows, to wit:
Harmony Technology Park Second Filing, located in Section 4, Township 6 North,
Range 68 West of the 6th P.M., City of Fort Collins, County of Larimer, State of
Colorado.
WHEREAS, the Developer desires to develop the Property and has submitted to the
City all plats, plans (including utility plans), reports and other documents required for the
approval of a final plan according to the City's development application submittal
requirements master list (the final development plan documents) copies of which are on
file in the office of the City Engineer and made a part hereof by reference; and
WHEREAS, the parties hereto have agreed that the development of the Property
will require increased municipal services from the City in order to serve such area and will
further require the installation of certain improvements primarily of benefit to the lands to
be developed and not to the City of Fort Collins as a whole; and
WHEREAS, the City has approved the final development plan documents submitted
by the Developer subject to certain requirements and conditions, which involve the
installation of and construction of utilities and other municipal improvements in connection
with the Property.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises of the parties hereto and
other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby
acknowledged, it is agreed as follows:
General Conditions
A. The terms of this Agreement shall govern all development activities of the
1
7. Prior to the issuance of any building permits in Phase 2, the
Developer shall have completed construction of Cambridge Avenue from Harmony Road
to Rock Creek Drive to full -width collector roadway standards as shown on the final
development plan documents.
8. (A) The provisions contained in Sections 3.6.4, 3.3.2(E)(1)(c) and
3.7.3(E)(1)(a) of the City's Land Use Code ("LUC"), taken together, impose upon the
Developer an obligation to ensure that the Development complies with the City's traffic
"level of service" standards, specifically requiring with respect to arterial streets, that the
Developer construct such off -site street improvements as the City's Traffic Engineer
determines to be necessary, based upon traffic safety considerations and the traffic
impacts of the Development. In order to assist the Traffic Engineer in making this
determination, the Developer is required to submit a transportation impact study approved
by the Traffic Engineer, consistent with guidelines maintained by the City. As provided in
LUC Section 3.7.3(E)(1)(a), said improvements must be either fully funded or constructed
prior to the issuance of a building permit for any building in the Development which
generates the traffic impact necessitating the improvements and, pursuant to LUC Section
3.3.2(E)(1)(c), the same must be constructed prior to the issuance of any certificate of
occupancy for such building.
(B) Based upon the transportation impact study previously
submitted by the Developer, the City's Traffic Engineer has determined that the traffic
impacts generated by the occupancy of the third and subsequent buildings in the
Development will require the design and construction, with the approval of the City and the
Colorado Department of Transportation (°CDOT"), of an additional southbound to
eastbound left turn lane (the "Intersection Improvements") on Ziegler Road at its
intersection with Harmony Road (the "Intersection"). The parties acknowledge, however,
that the Intersection Improvements will be made necessary not only by the Development,
but also by other development in the same vicinity, and by the overall growth and
development of the Fort Collins community, and that said improvements will benefit the
community at large. Accordingly, the parties agree that the Developer's obligations under
the foregoing provisions of the LUC can and shall be satisfied in the following manner:
1. If the Developer wishes to construct more than two (2)
buildings in the Development, the Developer shall, no less
than six (6) months prior to applying for a building permit for
any such additional building provide to the City a new
transportation impact study prepared by a traffic engineer
of the Developer's choosing and approved by the City's
Traffic Engineer, which study shall identify the traffic
impacts generated by the construction and occupancy of
the Development.
2. Upon receipt of the foregoing information by the City, the
City Engineer, after consultation with the Traffic Engineer,
will notify the Developer of the percentage portion of the
Project Costs (hereinafter defined) to be paid by the
Developer. If the Developer believes that the City
Engineer's determination of the Developer's percentage
portion is not supported by the transportation impact study,
or is otherwise unacceptable, the Developer may, within
sixty (60) days of the City Engineer's determination, seek
review of such determination by the City Manager. The
City Manager shall make his decision regarding the
Developer's percentage portion within thirty (30) days after
receipt of notice from the Developer requesting the City
Manager's review. If the City Manager upholds the City
Engineer's percentage portion determination or otherwise
fails to modify the same to the Developer's satisfaction, the
Developer may seek further review of the percentage
portion determination by the City Council ("Council"). Any
such request for Council review must be pursued by the
Developer within sixty (60) days after the date of the notice
from the City Manager of his decision, or the date by which
the City Manager is required hereunder to provide his
determination, whichever is earlier. Such request for
Council review shall be pursued by the filing of a written
request with the City Clerk. Such request, if filed, shall be
submitted to the Council by the City Clerk within sixty (60)
days of the date of filing of the same. The Council shall, by
motion, decide whether to review the City Engineer's
determination of percentage portion. If Council does
decide to undertake such review, a hearing shall be held by
the Council for that purpose, in which event the Council's
determination shall be based upon the information relied
upon by the City Engineer, together with such additional
information, if any, that the Council considers relevant and
helpful to its determination. If no request for Council review
of the percentage portion determination is timely filed as
provided herein, or if the Council declines to undertake
such review, the City Engineer's determination of
percentage portion shall be final. If the Council does
review the matter, the Council's determination of
percentage portion shall be final.
3. Furthermore, if the Developer wishes to construct more
than two (2) buildings in the Development, no less than six
(6) months prior to applying for a building permit for any
such additional building, the Developer shall separately
11
provide to the City, in a form satisfactory to the City
Engineer and to CDOT, a design of the Intersection
Improvements, together with a cost estimate for the same.
Said cost estimate shall include the costs of design,
engineering, construction, right-of-way acquisition and
project management, plus an additional fifteen percent
(15%) to cover unanticipated additional expenses (the
"Project Costs"). Said design and estimate of Project Costs
may be provided at the same time as the traffic report
contemplated by subpart 2 hereof, or may be provided at
a later date; however, in any event, such design and
estimate of Project Costs must be provided to the City at
least six months prior to applying for a building permit for
more than the first two buildings in the Development.
Within 30 days after receipt of the estimated Project Costs
provided by the Developer, the City shall either confirm its
acceptance of the amount of Project Costs or advise the
Developer of such other amount as the City believes
represents actual Project Costs. If there is then a
disagreement regarding the amount of Project Costs, such
matter will be resolved in the same manner as is provided
in subpart 2 with respect to determination of the
Developer's percentage portion.
4. Prior to applying for a building permit for the third building
in the Development, the Developer shall pay to the City, in
cash, the full amount of that portion of the Project Costs to
be paid by the Developer, which percentage portion shall
be determined by the City in accordance with subpart 2
hereof and which Project Costs shall be -determined
pursuant to subpart 3 hereof, together with interest at the
rate of eight percent (8%) per annum from that date which
is sixty (60) days after the date that the City Engineer first
notified the Developer of the dollar amount of its share of
the Project Costs determined in accordance with subpart 3
hereof. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section
II (D)(8)(A) to the contrary, upon timely payment of said
amount, the Developer shall thereafter be relieved of any
and all further obligations relating to the Intersection
Improvements, and neither building permits nor certificates
of occupancy for the third and subsequent buildings in the
Development shall be withheld or delayed by the City by
reason of the fact that the Intersection Improvements may
not have been constructed by the City.
12
5. In the event the Intersection Improvements have already
been installed at the time the Developer applies for a
building permit for the third building in the Development,
the Developer shall reimburse the City for the Developer's
percentage portion as determined under subpart 2 hereof
of the actual Project Costs, plus 8% per annum on such
prorata share from the date the Intersection Improvements
were installed.
6. In the event that the Developer fails to make payment in full
to the City for its portion of the Intersection Improvements
as determined by the City Engineer in accordance with the
provisions of this Section, no building permit shall be issued
by the City for the third or any subsequent building in the
Development until such payment has been made.
7. In the event the Developer pays in a timely manner its
percentage portion of the Project Costs pursuant to this
Section, the City agrees to complete installation of the
Intersection Improvements no later than three (3) years
after the Developer's occupancy of the third building in the
Development. In the event the City in its sole discretion
has not installed the Intersection Improvements within said
three-year period, the City will repay the portion of the
Project Costs advanced by the Developer on the third
anniversary of the Developer's occupancy of the third
building in the Development. If the City later installs the
Intersection Improvements, upon such completion, the
Developer will pay to the City the funds previously repaid to
the Developer by the City relating to such Project Costs.
9. The landscaping located in the medians within Technology Parkway
and Cambridge Avenue adjacent to this development shall not be maintained by the City
and it is agreed that all installation, maintenance, operation, repair and reconstruction
obligations relating to the landscaping and the irrigation of said landscaping shall be those
of the Developer or the Developer's successor(s) in interest. To the extent that said
landscaping and irrigation is located on public property, all installation, maintenance,
operation, repair and reconstruction shall be conducted in such a manner that such public
property shall not be damaged, or if damaged, shall be repaired in accordance with then
existing City standards.
10. The landscaping located in the medians within Technology Parkway
and Cambridge Avenue adjacent to this development shall be "drip" and/or "micro -spray"
irrigated. Standard "spray" type irrigation is not permitted.
13
11. The Developer hereby indemnifies and holds the City harmless from
any damage caused to the roadway (concrete, asphalt, curb and gutter) when such
damage is caused, directly or indirectly, by the acts or omissions of the Developer in
irrigating the landscaping within the medians on Technology Parkway and Cambridge
Avenue adjacent to this development site. Notwithstanding any provision in this
Agreement to the contrary, this indemnity may be assigned only to a bonafide business
association which has lawfully assumed the irrigation obligation from the Developer and
only if such assignment is in writing and duly and lawfully executed by such business
association and approved in writing by the City.
12. The Developer is responsible for the maintenance and repair of all
enhanced crosswalks across driveway accesses within the public right-of-way. At the time
of execution of this Agreement a permit is not required for the maintenance and repair of
said enhanced crosswalks, however, if at some future time a permit is required by the City
for this work in the right-of-way, the Developer shall obtain said permit prior to
commencement of work.
13. 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).
14. 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 2.2.3, 3.3.1 and 3.3.2 of the Land Use Code
of the City.
E. Ground Water, Subdrains and Water Rights
1. The City shall 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 in the Development as a result of ground water seepage
or flooding, structural damage, or other damage unless such damages or injuries are
proximately caused by the City's negligent operation or maintenance of its storm drainage
facilities in the Development. However, nothing herein shall be deemed a waiver by the
City of its immunities, defenses, and limitations to liability under the Colorado
Governmental Immunity Act (Section 24-20-101 CRS, et. seq.) or under any other law.
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,
14
maintenance, repair and reconstruction obligations shall be those of the Developer or the
Developer's successor(s) in interest. Such subdrain system is likely to be located both
upon private and public property and, to the extent that it is located on public property, all
maintenance, operation, repair or reconstruction shall be conducted in such a manner that
such public property shall not be damaged, or if damaged, shall, upon completion of any
such project, be repaired in accordance with then existing City standards. The City shall
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
in the development as the result of groundwater seepage or flooding, structural damage
or other damage resulting from failure of any such subdrain system.
3. Without admitting or denying any duty to protect water rights, the
Developer, for itself and its successor(s) in interest, hereby agrees to indemnify and hold
harmless the City against any damages or injuries to water rights caused, directly or
indirectly by the construction, establishment, maintenance or operation of the
Development.
4. The City agrees to give notice to the Developer of any claim made
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
on such claim and to settle any such claim provided the 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
the forgoing indemnities and hold harmless agreements by the Developer to not apply to
such claim and such failure shall constitute a release of the foregoing indemnities and hold
harmless agreements 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 build -
out of this Development, the Developer shall provide and maintain at all times an
accessway to said building or buildings. Such accessway shall be adequate to handle any
emergency vehicles or equipment, and the accessway shall be kept open during all phases
of construction. Such accessway shall be constructed to an unobstructed width of at least
20 feet with 4 inches of aggregate base course material compacted according to city
standards and with an 80 foot diameter turnaround at the building end of said accessway.
The turnaround is not required if an exit point is provided at the end of the accessway.
Prior to the construction of said accessway, a plan for the accessway shall be submitted
to and approved by the Poudre Fire Authority and City Engineer. (Three plan sets shall be
submitted to the Poudre Fire Authority at 102 Remington Street for review and processing.)
If such accessway is at any time deemed inadequate by the Poudre Fire Authority or City
15
Engineer, the accessway shall be promptly brought into compliance and until such time
that the accessway is brought into compliance, the City and/or the Poudre Fire Authority
may issue a stop work order for all or part of the Development.
G. Footing and Foundation Permits
1. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the
Developer shall have the right to obtain a Footing and Foundation permit upon the
installation of an emergency accessway for the Phase in which the permit is being
requested. Said issuance of a Footing and Foundation permit is limited to footing and
foundation construction only and shall not include any vertical construction of either
combustible or non-combustible material. Upon the installation of a permanent water
system and a continuous emergency accessway for the Phase in which the permit is being
requested, the Developer shall have the right to receive, upon payment of applicable fees
therefor, building permits for said Phase.
H. Development Construction Permit
1. The Developer shall apply for and obtain a Development Construction
Permit for this Development, in accordance with Division 2.6 of the Land Use Code (or
Section 29-12 of the Transitional Land Use Regulations, if applicable), prior to the

and a five-year repair guarantee covering all errors or omissions in the design and/or
construction of the public ihprovements required for this Development, which guarantees
shall run concurrently and shall commence upon the date of completion of the public
improvements and acceptance thereof by the City. More specific elements of these
guarantees are noted in Exhibit "C." Security for the maintenance guarantee and the repair
guarantee shall be as provided in Section 3.3.2(C) of the Land Use Code, or Section 29-14
of the Transitional Land Use Regulations, as applicable. Notwithstanding the provisions
of paragraphs III (1) and (J) of this Agreement to the contrary, the obligations of the
Developer pursuant to this paragraph and Exhibit "C" may not be assigned or transferred
to any other person or entity unless the warranted improvements are completed by, and
a letter of acceptance of the warranted improvements is received from the City by, such
other person or entity.
J. Development Phasing

until all infrastructure improvements required to serve such phase have been completed.
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

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 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
opinion, is hazardous to the public health and welfare.
D. 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 final development plan documents, or any documents
executed in the future that are required by the City for the approval of an amendment to
a development plan, and the City may withhold (or to the extent permitted by law, revoke)
such building permits and certificates of occupancy as it deems necessary to ensure
performance in accordance with the terms of this Development Agreement. The
processing and "routing for approval" of the various development plan documents may
result in certain of said documents carrying dates of approval and/or execution that are
later than the date of execution of this Development Agreement or the Memorandum Of
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.
17
E. Nothing herein contained shall be construed as a waiver of any requirements
of the City Code or the Land Use Code, and the Developer agrees to comply with all
requirements of the same. With regard to Land Use Code Sections 3.7.3(E)(1)(a) and
3.3.2(E)(1)(c), the parties agree that compliance with the same shall be accomplished as

terms and conditions of the Vested Rights Agreement. In the event of any apparent
inconsistency between the provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of the Vested

annually appropriated, budgeted and otherwise made available by the Fort Collins City
Council, in its discretion.

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 legal or equitable 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 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.
K. Each and every term of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a material
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
