such structure have been completed and accepted by the City. No building permits
shall be issued for any structure located in excess of six hundred and sixty feet (660')
from a single point of access, unless the structures contain sprinkler systems that are

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, except that if the conflicts
are a result of Federal or State mandated requirements, then the Federal or State
mandated requirements shall prevail.

Developer so 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

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
for the benefit of the City, and subsequent purchasers of property in the Development.
I. The developer shall pay the applicable "stormwater plant investment fee"
in accordance with Chapter 26, Article VII of the City Code. This fee is included with
building permit fees and shall be paid prior to the issuance of each building permit.
J. The Developer shall provide the City Engineer with certified Record Plan
Transparencies on Black Image Diazo Reverse Mylars upon completion of each 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 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 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 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.
L. The Developer acknowledges and agrees that the City, as the owner of
any adjacent property (the "City Property") on which off -site improvements may be
constructed, or that may be damaged by the Developer's activities hereunder, expressly
retains (and does not by this Agreement waive) its rights as property owner. The City's
4
rights as owner may include without limitation those rights associated with the
protection of the City Property from damage, and/or the enforcement of restrictions,
limitations and requirements associated with activities on the City Property by the
Developer as an easement recipient.
M. If the Developer or Contractor or any agent or representative thereof
causes damage to any public infrastructure (including without limitation, any surface
pavers, flagstones, or other stone or concrete surfaces, planters, street and decorative
lights, or canopies) such damage shall be promptly repaired with the same kind, quality,
color, serviceability and material composition aspects as was possessed by the
infrastructure damaged, unless otherwise expressly agreed to by the City in writing.

which serve any particular phase of 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 additional
building permits in each phase.
2. The Developer shall be responsible for maintaining the structural
integrity and operational functions of all drainage facilities throughout the build -out of
this Development. If at any time following certification (as required pursuant to

Final Development Plan Documents. Unless the Developer successfully appeals the
decision of non-compliance, it shall bring such facilities back up to the standards and
specifications as shown on the Final Development Plan Documents. 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

emergency situation exists which would reasonably require immediate mitigation
measures, then, in either event, and 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

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 ill.D of this Agreement, as it deems necessary in order to ensure
that the Developer installs and maintains the erosion control measures throughout the
build -out of this Development.
