General Conditions
A. The terms of this Agreement shall govern all development activities of the
Developer pertaining to the Property. For the purposes of this Agreement,
"development activities" shall include, but not be limited to, the following: (1) the actual
construction of improvements, (2) obtaining a permit therefor, or (3) any change in
grade, contour or appearance of the Property caused by, or on behalf of, the Developer
with the intent to construct improvements thereon.
B. All modifications to, replacements of or new or additional water lines,
sanitary sewer collection lines, storm sewer lines and facilities, streets, curbs, gutters,
sidewalks, and bikepaths shown on the Final Development Plan Documents shall be
installed as shown on the Final Development Plan Documents and in full compliance
with the standards and specifications of the City on file in the office of the City Engineer
as of the date of this Agreement. In the event that the Developer commences or
performs any construction pursuant hereto after the passage of three (3) years from the
date of this Agreement, the Developer shall resubmit the utility plans to the City
Engineer for reexamination. The City may then require the Developer to comply with
the approved standards and specifications of the City on file in the office of the City
Engineer at the time of the resubmittal.
C. Except as otherwise herein specifically agreed, the Developer agrees to
install and pay for all modifications to, replacements of or new or additional water lines,
sanitary sewer collection lines, storm sewer lines and facilities, streets, curbs, gutters,
sidewalks, and bikepaths shown on the Final Development Plan Documents.
D. 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 installation in order to meet the standard City specifications
applicable to such installation. In case of conflict, the Final Development Plan
Documents shall supersede the standard City specifications, except that if the conflicts
are a result of Federal or State mandated requirements, then the Federal or State
mandated requirements shall prevail.
E. All new storm drainage facilities or alterations to the existing storm
drainage facilities shown on the Final Development Plan Documents shall be designed
and constructed by the Developer so as to protect downstream and adjacent properties
against injury and to adequately serve the Property. The Developer shall cause all new
storm drainage facilities or alterations to the existing storm drainage facilities shown on
the Final Development Plan Documents to 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 materially different from that
which was historically discharged and caused by the design or construction of the new
storm drainage facilities or alterations to the existing storm drainage facilities shown on
the Final Development Plan Documents, 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 City's Drainage
Master Plans and Design Criteria; 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
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.
F. The Developer shall provide the City Engineer with certified Record Plan
Transparencies on Black Image Diazo Reverse Mylars upon completion of the Sidewalk
Improvements. Utilities will not be initially accepted prior to as -built drawings being
submitted to and approved by the City of Fort Collins.
G. The Developer specifically represents that to its knowledge all property
dedicated (both in fee simple and as easements) to the City associated with this
Development (whether on or off -site) is 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 property as is dedicated to the City pursuant to this
Development, is 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, for itself and its successor(s) in interest, 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 backfili 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
3
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 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 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 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. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties acknowledge and
agree that no property is dedicated to the City by the Developer's execution and
delivery of this Agreement.

frontage of the property and the City or it's agents proceed with the design of the
sidewalk, the Developer agrees to provide to or obtain for the City any necessary
easements that may be needed by the City (in a form satisfactory to the City) or the

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.

build -out of this Development, the Developer shall provide and maintain at all times a
reasonable accessway to each building. 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 100 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 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any provision to the contrary contained
herein, the City hereby approves the existing construction accessways located on the
Property.

Development Plan Documents and applicable law, including, without limitation, the City
Code and the LCUA Street Standards, the City shall deliver a letter of acceptance to the
Developer not later than thirty (30) days after the completion of the Sidewalk
Improvements.

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 the problem is corrected
to the satisfaction of the City Engineer. If the Developer fails to adequately clean such
streets within two (2) business 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 or its successors in interest 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 by the Developer or its
successors in interest that are required by the City for the approval of an amendment to
a development plan. In the event the Developer is in default under this Agreement
beyond the applicable notice and cure periods set forth in Section I11.J. below, 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 Agreement. The processing and "routing for approval"
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
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 or the Land Use Code 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. All financial obligations of the City arising under this Agreement that are
payable after the current fiscal year are contingent upon funds for that purpose being
annually appropriated, budgeted and otherwise made available by the Fort Collins City
Council, in its discretion.
H. This Agreement shall run with the Property, including any subsequent
replatting of all, or a portion of the Property. This Agreement shall also 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 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.
I. 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.
J. 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
