upon an engineer's estimate of the cost of the installation of the sidewalk which
estimate shall be provided by the Developer to the City. The Developer shall provide
revised Development Construction Plan Documents identifying the change in sidewalk
to the City prior to beginning installation.
G. Soil Amendment

completed. This certification shall be submitted to the City at least two (2) weeks prior
to the date of issuance of any certificate of occupancy in this Development.
H. 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
the City's 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,
12
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.
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

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
13
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.

appurtenances for the phase as shown on the Final Development Plan Documents.
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, prior to the Developer commencing construction. The Developer shall pay
the required fees for said Permit and construction inspection, and post security to

completion of the public improvements and acceptance thereof by the City. More
specific elements of these guarantees are noted in Exhibit "D." Security for the
maintenance guarantee and the repair guarantee shall be as provided in Section
3.3.2(C) of the Land Use Code. Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs III (H)
and (1) of this Agreement to the contrary, the obligations of the Developer pursuant to

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) 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
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 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.
15

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.

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

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.
1. 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
been declared in default hereof, such defaulting party shall be given written notice
specifying such default and shall be allowed a period of ten (10) days within which to
cure said default. In the event the default remains uncorrected, the party declaring
default may elect to: (a) terminate the Agreement and seek damages; (b) treat the
Agreement as continuing and require specific performance or; (c) avail itself of any
other remedy at law or equity.
K. In the event of the default of any of the provisions hereof by either party
which shall require the party not in default to commence legal or equitable action
against said defaulting party, the defaulting party shall be liable to the non -defaulting
party for the non -defaulting party's reasonable attorney's fees and costs incurred by
reason of the default. Nothing herein shall be construed to prevent or interfere with the
City's rights and remedies specified in Paragraph III.D of this Agreement.
L. Except as may be otherwise expressly provided herein, this Agreement
shall not be construed as or deemed to be an agreement for the benefit of any third
party or parties, and no third party or parties shall have any right of action hereunder for
any cause whatsoever.

EXHIBIT "B"
STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURES (SOPs)
A. Purpose
In order for physical stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs) to be effective, proper
maintenance is essential. Maintenance includes both routinely scheduled activities, as well as
non -routine repairs that may be required after large storms, or as a result of other unforeseen
problems. Standard Operating Procedures (SOPS) should clearly identify BMP maintenance
responsibility. BMP maintenance is typically the responsibility of the entity owning the BMP.
Identifying who is responsible for maintenance of BMPs and ensuring that an adequate budget
is allocated for maintenance is critical to the long-term success of BMPs. Maintenance
responsibility maybe assigned either publicly or privately. For this project, the privately owned
BMPs shown in Section B below are to be maintained by the property owner, homeowner's
association (HOA), or property manager.
B. Site -Specific SOPs
The following stormwater facilities contained within Bucking Horse - Filing Two are subject to
SOP requirements:
- Vegetated Swales
- Vegetated Filter Strips (i.e., Grass Buffers)
- Water Quality Pond
The location of said facilities can be found on the Utility Plans and Landscape Plans for Bucking
Horse - Second Filing. Inspection and maintenance procedure and frequencies, specific
maintenance requirements and activities, as well as BMP-specific constraints and considerations
shall followthe guidelines outlined in Volume 3 of the Urban Drainage and Flood Control District
(UDFCD) Urban Storm Drainage Criteria Manual.

EXHIBIT "C
1.0 General Approach —Wetlands and Native Upland Habitat Areas
The compensatory wetland and Native Upland Habitat Areas to be created will be
monitored for a minimum of three years, as typically required by the City of Fort Collins
(City), to track the development of the planted vegetation communities and to determine
if the mitigation and enhancement objectives have been achieved. Monitoring will occur
on a bi-monthly basis during the growing season beginning on or about June 1 and
ending on or about October 1 for a total of three yearly monitoring visits.
The first two monitoring visits will consist of qualitative evaluations to determine the
relative success of plant species establishment, the stability of the planted areas, and
the incidence of weed species invasion. The results of these evaluations will be
summarized in a brief report electronically submitted to the City and Bellisimo, Inc.
2.0_Wetland (0.80 Acres) Monitorinq Plan
The third annual monitoring visit of each year will consist of a detailed quantitative
evaluation to determine the overall success of the wetland mitigation project. Mitigation
and revegetation success will be judged based on four criteria. These criteria include
the size of the wetland mitigation area successfully established, the wetland soil
moisture regime created, the percent ground cover of wetland -classed species present
in the wetland mitigation area, the success rate of the shrubs and trees planted, and the
suppression of weed species.
The mitigation size criterion will be met if that portion of the mitigation site qualifying
as vegetated wetlands totals 0.80 acres. The soil moisture regime criteria will be met if
the wetland mitigation site surface dedicated to the establishment of hydric species
exhibits saturated conditions in the upper 12.0 inches of the soil profile and/or shallow
flooding throughout the majority of the growing season as evidenced either by soil
characteristics or the presence of sufficient wetland indicator species. Small ridges and
potholes that enhance species diversity will be acceptable so long as these features do
not compromise the overall integrity of the vegetated wetlands to be created. The
24
average depth of free water over the mitigation site will be reported as will an estimate
of the percent of the mitigation site overlain by free surface water. Surface water
occurring in a mosaic with wetland species and representing a typical marsh community
will not be included in the estimate of percent of open water present.
The wetland ground cover criterion will be met if, after three growing seasons, the
total ground cover contributed by all vegetation species (including willow plantings)
present in the wetland mitigation site is equal to or greater than 80 percent, on average,
and wetland -classed species (FAC, FACW, and OBL) are dominant (70 percent relative
cover) as compared to upland -classed (FACU and UPL) species. In addition, there will
be no evidence of erosion detrimental to vegetation establishment or site stability. The
percent of open water occurring over the surface of the mitigation site will be considered
a "null set' when calculating percent herbaceous ground cover, so long as such surface
water does not indicate the formation of an 'open water" system.
Shrub and tree plantings will be considered successful where 90 percent of the
number planted are present on site. Volunteer plants of all native shrub and tree
species will be included in the tally and counted toward the success criteria. Any
indications of insect or animal damage will be noted as will any indications of nutrient
deficiencies
The weed suppression criteria will be met if, after three growing seasons, the total
cover provided by weed -classed species does not exceed 10 percent across the
mitigation site.
Any actions deemed necessary to enhance mitigation success and / or site stability
will be taken as a result of each annual monitoring assessment. Monitoring will
continue on an annual basis until the City judges this compensatory mitigation program
to be successful.
Soil and Plant Cover Sampling Technique Specifics
The boundaries of the compensatory wetland site will be staked with metal fence
Posts to facilitate the field survey evaluations.
25
To determine the depth to which non -inundated soils are saturated, soil sample pits
will be dug at four locations corresponding with the vegetation analysis plots described
below. Each pit will be dug to a depth of approximately 12.0 to 14.0 inches. The depth
to saturation, if occurring, will be recorded. Soil matrix colors will be recorded to assess
soil moisture regime characteristics. The presence of mottles or gleying will be noted
and the color, abundance, and contrast of mottles recorded, if present. A sulfidic (H2S)
odor will also be noted, if observed.
Ocular estimates of vegetation cover and composition (dominant species) in the
created wetlands will be made at four representative plots employing a plot size of 10
feet x 10 feet. A photo will be taken of each plot at the time of each quantitative
monitoring visit. The corners of the plots will be permanently marked in the field with
metal fence posts, metal stakes, or similar to facilitate repeatable, non-destructive
evaluations. Plots will be sited to represent the vegetation conditions common within
the mitigation site. The locations of the plots will be reviewed and approved by the
City's Environmental Planner prior to initiating the field sampling. The percent of
invasive weeds present will be calculated and averaged from the plots evaluated.
Shrub (excluding willow cuttings, if any, that will be evaluated as a part of ground
cover) and tree species planted as a part of wetland mitigation construction will be
tallied by a simple count of viable species present at the time of monitoring fieldwork.
Any indications of insect or animal damage will be noted, as will any indications of
nutrient deficiencies.
That portion of the compensatory mitigation site supporting wetlands at the time of
the third end -of -season monitoring visit will be surveyed to calculate the acreage of
wetlands successfully created. A map depicting the results of the survey will be
included with the annual report.
A detailed monitoring report will be submitted to the City and Bellisimo, Inc. on or
before December 31 of each monitoring year. Information and showings to be
submitted with each annual quantitative monitoring report include a project location
map, project history summary, a discussion of the conditions of the compensatory
mitigation site, a summary of the data collected, copies of all data sheets completed in
26
the field, recommendations for corrective actions (if any) and a continuation of the
photographic record submitted with the first annual report.
Observation wells are not planned for the monitoring program since the wetland is
designed to be wet throughout the growing season. Wells excavated to a depth of 6.0
feet could be added to the program if the anticipated soil moisture regime varies from
that planned.
Note
Should the data from the monitoring plan show that the hydrology regime of the
wetland is no longer adequate to support wetland communities, appropriate actions will
be taken to ensure that the overall objectives of upland habitat creation and
enhancement will be achieved. Such actions include, as necessary, seedbed
preparation techniques, fertilization, reseeding and planting, and mulching.
3.0 Native Upland Habitat Areas (31.12 Acres) Monitoring Plan
At the end of each of the first three full growing seasons following initial planting,
the Native Upland Habitat Areas will be monitored quantitatively to determine the overall
level of site stability and vegetation establishment.
Revegetation success will be judged based on three criteria. These criteria include
the percent total ground cover of native grass, forb, and shrub species present in the
project area, the percent success of the shrub and tree plantings and the suppression of
weed species.
The total ground cover criterion will be met if, after three growing seasons, the total
ground cover contributed by all grass, forb, and shrub, species present in the project
area is equal to or greater than 65 percent. In addition, there will be no evidence of
erosion detrimental to vegetation establishment or site stability.
Shrub and tree plantings will be considered successful where 90 percent of the
number planted are present on site. Volunteer plants of all native shrub and tree
species will be included in the tally and counted toward the success criteria.
27
The weed suppression criteria will be met if, after three growing seasons, the total
cover provided by weed -classed species does not exceed 10 percent across the Native
Upland Habitat Areas.
In terms of surficial stability, the presence of rills and gullies, if any, will be noted.
All gullies will be repaired at the first opportunity and reseeded / mulched at the next
recognized planting season. All rills determined to be detrimental to the establishment
of a stable, self-perpetuating vegetation community will be obliterated by surficial
manipulation or repaired as noted for identified gullies.
Vegetation Sampling Technique Specifics
Plant cover will be evaluated at the end of each growing season using the point -
intercept method. A 100-foot tape will be laid out along the surface at a maximum of ten
locations in the planted uplands. Transects will be sited to represent the vegetation
conditions common within the project area. At each one -foot interval along each
transect, a "hit" will be recorded. A hit will consist of vegetation (by species), bare
ground, rock, or litter. The percent total plant cover will then be calculated for each
transect. The percent of invasive weeds present will be calculated and averaged from
the tansects run.
Shrub and tree species planted will be tallied at the end of each growing season by
a simple count of viable species present at the time of monitoring fieldwork. Any
indications of insect or animal damage will be noted as will any indications of nutrient
deficiencies.
The results of this assessment will be submitted to the City of Fort Collins in a
report on or about December 31 of each monitoring year. Information and showings to
be submitted with each annual quantitative monitoring report include a project location
map, project history summary, a discussion of the conditions of the mitigation sites, a
summary of the data collected, copies of all data sheets completed in the field, and a
continuation of the photographic record submitted with the first annual report. As
appropriate, recommendations will be made with respect to the continued maintenance
and monitoring of the mitigation area.

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
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
engineering techniques and due caution in the construction of cross drains, drives,
structures or buildings, the changing of courses of streams and rivers, flooding from
natural creeks and rivers, and any other matter whatsoever on private property. Any
and all monetary liability occurring under this paragraph shall be the liability of the
Developer.
The obligations of the Developer pursuant to the "maintenance guarantee" and `repair
guarantee" provisions set forth above may not be assigned or transferred to any other

for the benefit of the City, and subsequent purchasers of property in the Development.
J. 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.
K. 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.
L. 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

Special Conditions
A. Water Lines
Not applicable.
B. Sewer Lines
Not Applicable
C. Storm Drainage Lines and Appurtenances
1. All on -site and off -site storm drainage improvements associated
with this Development, as shown on the Final Development Plan Documents, shall be
completed by the Developer in accordance with said Documents prior to the issuance of
more than 17 building permits in this Development. Completion of improvements shall
include the certification by a professional engineer licensed in Colorado that the
drainage facilities which serve the Development have been constructed in conformance
with said Final Development Plan Documents. Additionally on -site certification shall
provide documentation that the open space areas that are part of this Development
have been graded in a manner consistent with the approved Final Development Plan
Documents with no slopes greater than 3:1. All lot corner elevations for lots adjacent to
open space areas shall be certified to be in conformance with the approved Final
Development Plan documents. This certification shall be submitted to the City at least
two weeks prior to the date of issuance of additional building permits.
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
paragraph one (1) above) of said drainage facilities and during the construction of
structures and /or lots within this Development the City reasonably decides that said
drainage facilities no longer comply with the Final Development Plan Documents, the
City shall give written notice to the Developer of all items which do not comply with the
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
and/ or certificates of occupancy until such drainage facilities are repaired to the
operational function and structural integrity which was approved by the City.
3. The Developer agrees to provide and maintain erosion control
improvements as shown on the 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 $88,680.00 prior to beginning construction to
guarantee the proper installation and maintenance of the erosion control measures
shown on the 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 erosion control provisions of the Final Development Plan Documents or the
erosion control provisions of the Criteria after receiving notice of the same or an
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
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
build -out of this Development.
4. It is important that all lots be graded to drain in the configuration
shown on the Final Development Plan Documents. For this reason the following
additional requirements shall be followed for all buildings/structures on all lots:
Prior to the issuance of a certificate of occupancy for any lot or building the Developer
shall provide the City with certification that the lot and or the building has been graded
correctly. This grading certification shall demonstrate that the lot or building finish floor
elevation has been built in accordance with the elevation specified on the Final
Development Plan Documents. The certification shall also show that the minimum floor
elevation or minimum opening elevation for any building constructed is in compliance
with the minimum elevation as required on the Final Development Plan Documents.
The certification shall demonstrate as well that any minor swales adjacent to the
building or on the lot have been graded correctly and in accordance with the grades
shown on the Final Development Plan Documents. The certification shall also show that
the elevations of all corners of the lot are in accordance with the elevations shown on
the 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.
5. The Developer shall obtain the City's prior approval of any changes
from the 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 occupancy for this
Development until the City has deemed such changes as being acceptable for the safe
and efficient delivery of storm drainage water.
6. The Developer shall limit the construction of the off -site storm
drainage improvement lines to the limits of construction as shown on the Final
Development Plan Documents. The contractor shall re -seed and restore all areas that
are disturbed during construction of the off -site storm drainage improvements in
accordance with the Final Development Plan Documents promptly following
construction. The Developer shall ensure that no negative impact occurs to the
adjoining during the construction of the detention pond facilities. No grading shall be
done outside of the approved areas as shown on the Final Development Plan
Documents.
7. The drainage design for this Development provides for the
evacuation of storm drainage runoff in a reasonable amount of time out of the water
quality and detention facilities and into the drainage outfall system. The water quality
and detention facilities have been designed to discharge stormwater runoff from
frequent storms over a 40 hour period through a small diameter outlet. Under the
intended operation of the water quality and detention pond, there will not be standing
water in the pond more than 48 hours after the end of a rainfall event. If surfacing or
standing water conditions persist in these facilities; and if such conditions are beyond
what can be expected in accordance with the approved stormwater design, the
Developer shall promptly, upon such discovery, install an adequate de -watering system
in the detention facilities. Such a system shall be reviewed and approved by the City
prior to installation.
8. The Developer shall be responsible for maintenance of all storm
drainage facilities that are constructed outside of the public right-of-way. These facilities
shall be maintained per the Drainage Infrastructure Standard Operating Procedures
attached as Exhibit B to this Development Agreement.
9. In accordance with the City's Foothill's master drainage plan and
the applicable Final Development Plan Documents, the 100-year developed stormwater
flow from the Development shall be detained, and these developed flows shall be
released into the Fossil Creek Reservoir Inlet Ditch at a rate not to exceed 20 cfs for the
100-year design storm.
10. Except as expressly permitted in a subsequent approved plan of
development or other written agreement from the City, all active or passive use by
livestock, pets, horses, and the like within Tract D shall be prohibited.
D. Streets.
1. Subject to the conditions of this Agreement, the City agrees to
reimburse the Developer for oversizing public street improvements along Nancy Gray
Avenue and Mile House Avenue for those portions of said street abutting the Property
as shown on the Final Development Plan Documents. Reimbursement for Nancy Gray
Avenue and Miles House Avenue shall be for oversizing the street from local (access)
standards to collector standards. The City shall make reimbursement to the Developer
for the aforesaid oversized street improvements in the manner provided in and 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 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.
Reimbursements for sidewalk widths greater than 5 feet along Miles House Avenue
adjacent to the Future City Park are not eligible for street oversizing reimbursement.
See section F (Parks and Recreation) for provisions regarding sidewalk reimbursement
along Miles House Avenue adjacent to the Future City Park.
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 agrees that the connection of Nancy Gray Avenue
to Sharp Pointe Drive is required for connectivity and circulation for this Development.
In accordance with Section 24-95 of the City Code the Developer is responsible for
constructing the portion of Nancy Gray Avenue adjacent to the site prior to the first
building permit. Because of the existing grades on the adjacent railroad property the
roadway cannot be constructed to the property line at this time. Therefore,
notwithstanding the foregoing, the Developer shall provide to the City a payment in lieu
of construction for the portion of the roadway not being constructed as shown on the
Final Development Plan Documents. The amount of said funds shall be the estimated
cost of the design and local street portion of the pavement, subgrade, fill, curb, gutter,
4.5 feet (in width) of sidewalk, (2) street trees, the waterline extension (station 13+46.00
to station 14+95.00) and for the remaining portion of the street which is not to be
constructed at this time (centerline station 28+19.99 to centerline station 29+20.33) The
estimate shall be prepared by the Developer and approved by the City, and shall
include an additional 25% of the estimate to cover any contingencies and unexpected
costs. Said amount shall be estimated and deposited with the City prior to the issuance
of any building permit for this Development.
Since moneys have been collected by the City for the portion of Nancy Gray Avenue
within the boundaries of this Development, in lieu of payment by the Developer, the City
shall retain a portion of these funds equal to the amount estimated and approved above.
The improvements to Nancy Gray Avenue shall be constructed at such time that the
City deems the improvements to be necessary or at such time as improvements are
made to adjacent portions of Nancy Gray Avenue or Sharp Point Drive, whichever shall
first occur.
Any interest earned by the City as a result of said deposit shall be the property of the
City.
If the Developer is the party that constructs said improvements, upon completion of said
improvements and acceptance of them by the City, the City shall return to the
Developer the amount deposited, less 3% of the total amount remaining, to be kept by
the City to cover its costs for administration of said deposits.
