4. The Developer and the City agree that it is important that certain lots be
graded to drain in the configuration shown on the approved plans for this development.
For this reason the following additional requirements shall be followed for building on Lots
25 through 30, 50 through 52, 63 through 76, 89 and 90:
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 plans are correct and in accordance with the
approved plans; and the minimum floor elevation for all buildings constructed on
said lot has been completed in accordance with the approved plans. 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 7 through 21 abut certain storm drainage facilities and it is agreed
that it is of the utmost importance that no storm water from said facilities enters houses
built on said lots. In order to provide the assurance that houses built on said lots are
constructed at an elevation that said storm water cannot enter, the approved utility plans
contain specifications for the minimum elevation for any opening to each such house.
Prior to the issuance of a certificate of occupancy for each of said lots the Developer shall
provide certification from a licensed professional engineer that the lowest opening to any
such house is at or above the minimum elevations required on said utility plans.
6. The Developer and the City agree that the Developer shall be responsible
to obtain the City's approval of any changes from the approved utility plans 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 until the City has approved such changes as being acceptable
for the safe and efficient delivery of storm drainage water.
D. Streets.
1. Subject to the conditions of this Agreement, the City agrees to reimburse
the Developer for oversizing public street improvements along Taft Hill Road and Harmony
Road for those portions of said streets abutting the Property as shown on the approved
utility plans. Reimbursement for Taft Hill Road shall be for oversizing the street from
residential (access) standards to arterial street standards. Reimbursement for Harmony
Road shall be for oversizing the street from residential (access) standards to major arterial
street 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
r.
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. It is understood that the streets to be constructed as described in this
Section II(D) are "city improvements" 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
Fifteen Thousand Dollars ($15,000), 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.
3. The addition of public traffic from this development to Taft Hill Road by
way of Brixton Road shall not be permitted until Harmony Road from Greengate Drive (in
this development) to the Taft Hill Road and County Road 38E intersection is completed.
Accordingly, the on -site and off -site improvements to Harmony Road from Greengate Drive
to Taft Hill Road and the intersection of Taft Hill Road, Harmony Road and County Road
38E (under design by separate plans) must be completed prior to the construction of
Brixton Road. In addition, said on -site and off -site improvements shall be completed prior
to the issuance of any building permits in Phase 2 of this development.
4. No building permits shall be issued for lots 1 through 5 (all of which lots
are in close proximity to Taft Hill Road and, accordingly, may be impacted by
improvements required on Taft Hill Road) until (1) the street improvements on Taft Hill
Road have been completed with at least the construction of curb, gutter and sidewalk, and
said improvements have been approved by the City; or (2) the design of Taft Hill Road
improvements is completed, approved by the City and the Developer has provided a
certification by a licensed professional engineer that (a) each of the above lots for which
a building permit is applied for has been graded to conform to the approved utility plans
for this development; (b) no drainage problems exist for said lot(s) due to Taft Hill Road
improvements being incomplete; and (c) the street improvements can be constructed
without the need to enter upon said lots.
5. No building permits shall be issued for lots 22 through 25, 28 and 29 (all
of which lots are in close proximity to Harmony Road and, accordingly, may be impacted
by improvements required on Harmony Road) until (1) the street improvements on
Harmony Road have been completed with at least the construction of curb, gutter and
sidewalk, and said improvements have been approved by the City, or (2) the design of
Harmony Road improvements is completed, approved by the City and the Developer has
provided a certification by a licensed professional engineer that (a) each of the above lots
for which a building permit is applied for has been graded to conform to the approved utility
plans for this development; (b) no drainage problems exist for said lot(s) due to Harmony
Road improvements being incomplete; and (c) the street improvements can be constructed
without the need to enter upon said lots.
6. No building permits shall be issued for Lots 1, 2, 30, 50, 52, 63, 76, 89
and 90 if access to such Lots is taken from deadend streets with no standard permanent
cul de sac or City approved temporary turnaround.
7. The Developer shall be responsible for all costs for the initial installation
of traffic signing and striping for this development related to the development local street
operations. In addition, the Developer shall be responsible for all costs for traffic signing
and striping related to directing traffic access to and from the development (eg. all signing
and striping for a right turn lane into the development site).
E. Phasing of this Development.
This Agreement applies only to Phase 1 of this development. Another
development agreement shall be entered into between the parties prior to the Developer
beginning construction of any improvement outside of Phase 1 of this development. In
addition, the approved utility plans are only approved for Phase 1 of this development.
Utility plans must be approved for the remainder of the Property prior to the Developer
beginning construction of any improvements outside of Phase 1 of this development.
F. Harmony Road Pedestrian Underpass.
The approved plans for this development require the construction of a
pedestrian underpass crossing under Harmony Road. The Developer and the City agree
to share the cost for said underpass (The estimated amount is shown in the attached
Exhibit "C".). The Developer's share shall be fifteen percent (15%) of the actual cost of
the construction of said underpass or $20,000, whichever is less. Reimbursement to the
Developer for the City's share of the actual cost shall be made in accordance with the City
street oversizing policies and City Code requirements as are described in Section II.D.1

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
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 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 forthe 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
cost of the improvements on the attached Exhibit "B," which improvements, if applicable,
shall include right-of-way, design and construction costs. See Section II.C, Special
Conditions, Storm Drainage Lines and Appurtenances, for specific instructions.
The Developer shall provide the City Engineer with certified Record Plan
Z�
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
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.
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.

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 security deposit in the amount of $ 22,934 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 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 in Phase 2:
Prior to the issuance of a certificate of occupancy for each of said lots the
5
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.
4. 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.
5. In addition 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 drainage easements on each of Lots 53 through 62 and 77 through 88. 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.
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.
D. Streets.
1. Subject to the conditions of this Agreement, the City agrees to reimburse
the Developer for oversizing public street improvements along Taft Hill Road for those
portions of said street abutting the Property as shown on the approved final development
plan documents. Reimbursement for Taft Hill Road shall be for oversizing the street 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
0
0�
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 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 and the City agree that no street oversizing reimbursement
from the City is due the Developer for Harmony Road for this development and the
Developer agrees to reimburse the City the sum of $36,622.71, 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 January 8, 1999, 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. Phasing of this Development
1. This agreement applies only to Phase 2 of this development. A
development agreement dated January 26, 1996 was entered intofor improvements within
Phase 1 of this Development. Said development agreement, as amended, shall apply to
construction within Phase 1 of this development.
7
2. The Developer agrees to comply with the requirements of Sections 29-12,
29-13 and 29-14 of the Transitional Land Use Regulations of the City and with the "Design
and Construction Criteria, Standards and Specifications for Streets, Sidewalks, Alleys and
Other Public Ways" of the City, as amended, which laws and regulations pertain to, without
limitation, the construction of streets, the issuance of Development Construction Permits,
Inspection Fees and Maintenance and Repair Guarantees.
F. 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
harmless agreement as to such claim.
G. 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.
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
1.1
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 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.
E. Nothing herein contained shall be construed as a waiver of any requirements of
the City Code, Land Use Code, or Transitional Land Use Regulations (as applicable) and
the Developer agrees to comply with all requirements of the same.
F. 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.
G. Financial obligations of the City of Fort Collins payable after the current fiscal
year and/or not appropriated or budgeted are contingent upon funds forthat purpose being
appropriated, budgeted and otherwise made available by the Fort Collins City Council.
H. This Agreement shall run with the Property and shall be binding upon and inure
to the benefit of the parties hereto, their respective 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
