DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
THIS DEVELOPMEN AGREEMENT (the "Agreement"), is made and entered
into this lgday of 2013, by and between the CITY OF FORT
COLLINS, COLORADO, a Municipal Corporation, hereinafter referred to as the "City";
and Ft. Collins Student Housing, LLC, a Colorado limited liability company hereinafter
referred to as the "Developer."
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, the Developer is the owner of certain real property situated in the
County of Larimer, State of Colorado (hereafter sometimes referred to as the "Property"
or "Development") and legally described as follows, to wit:
The District at Campus West located in Section 15, Township 7 North, Range 69
West of the 6th P.M., City of Fort Collins, County of Larimer, State of Colorado.
WHEREAS, the Developer desires to develop the Property and has submitted to
the City all plats, plans (including utility plans), reports and other documents required for
the approval of a final plan according to the City's development application submittal
requirements master list (the "Final Development Plan Documents") copies of which are
on file in the office of the City Engineer and made a part hereof by reference; and
WHEREAS, the parties hereto have agreed that the development of the Property
will require increased municipal services from the City in order to serve such area and
will further require the installation of certain improvements primarily of benefit to the
Property and not to the City of Fort Collins as a whole; and
WHEREAS, the City has approved the Final Development Plan Documents
submitted by the Developer, subject to certain requirements and conditions, which
involve the installation of and construction of utilities and other municipal improvements
in connection with the development of the Property.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises of the parties hereto and
other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby
acknowledged, it is agreed as follows:
✓City Clerk's Office, Fort Collins, Colorado
Developer in accordance with Section 3.8.21 of the Land Use Code prior to the
issuance of any certificate of occupancy in this Development. Completion of soil
amendments shall include certification by the Developer that the work has been
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.
G. 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,
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

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
10
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.
H. Hazards and Emergency Access
1. No combustible material will be allowed on the site until a
permanent water system is installed by the Developer and approved by the City.
2. Prior to beginning any building construction, and throughout the
build -out of this Development, the Developer shall provide and maintain at all times 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.

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
12
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.
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,
including, without limitation, any liability under this Agreement with respect to
indemnification for any such claims, damages, injuries or other liability arising after the
date of such transfer. In such event, the succeeding property owner shall be bound by
the terms of this Agreement.
13
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

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 stoma, 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 may be 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. St6rSpecific SOPS
The following stormwater facilities contained within The District at Campus West are subject to SOP
requirements:
Directly Connected Downspouts

Directly Connected Downspouts
Many of the downspouts connect directly to the storm drain system. The following SOP generally applies to all direct
downspout connections, and more specifically to those which drain directly to the reservoir areas beneath the Modular
Block Pavers. At each of these connections, the downspout discharges to a grated sump area and outlet pipe. The outlet
pipe discharges directly to the MBP reservoir. The grate and sumps are designed to prevent debris and sediment from
entering the MBP reservoir area. Debris and sediment compromise the functionality and effectiveness of the system.

Permeable Modular Block Pawrs (MBPs)
There are several MBP sections throughout the project serving a critical role in the drainage system. These systems
provide storage and important water quality benefits.
Proper mairrtenance is critical to ensure lasting performance and integrity of the system. The more frequent and diligent
the routine maintenance procedures are, the more likely it is to avoid and/or postpone significant repair and replacement
actions. Such major remedies would include removal of the surface pavers to access (and potentially replace) the

Sand Flit
The Sand Fitter (SF) is located on the ground floor inside of the parking garage (i.e_, Building 2). It receives developed
runoff from the uppermost level of the parking structure as well as minor volumes of runoff from a sump area on the
ground level. This sump receives runoff from several area inlets within the enclosed ground level parking area_
Sand Filters have relatively low routine maintenance requirements. Maintenance frequency depends on pollutant loads

11.0 Permeable Pavement Systems
The key maintenance objective for any permeable pavement system is to know when runoff is no longer
rapidly infiltrating into the surface, which is typically due to void spaces becoming clogged and requiring
sediment removal. This section identifies key maintenance considerations for various types of permeable
pavement BMPs.
11.1 Inspection
Inspect pavement condition and observe infiltration at least annually, either during a rain event or with a
garden hose to ensure that water infiltrates into the surface. Video, photographs, or notes can be helpful
in measuring loss of infiltration over time. Systematic measurement of surface infiltration of pervious
concrete, Permeable Interiockmg Concrete Pavers (PICP), concrete grid pavement, and porous asphalt'
can be accomplished using ASTM C 1701 Standard Test Method for infiltration Rate of In Place Pervious
Concrete.

BMP Maintenance
11.2 Debris Removal, Sweeping, and Vacuuming
Chapter 6
All Pavements: Debris should be removed, routinely, as a source control measure_ Typically, sites
that require frequent sweeping already plan for this activity as part of their ongoing maintenance
program For example, a grocery store may sweep weekly or monthly. Depending on the season, city
streets also may have a monthly plan for sweeping_ Ilus is frequently performed with a broom
sweeper such as the one shown in Photo 6-4. Although this type of sweeper can be effective at
removing solids and debris from the surface, it will not remove solids from the void space of a
permeable pavement. Use a vacuum or regenerative air sweeper to help maintain or restore
infiltration. If the pavement has not been property maintained, a vacuum sweeper will likely be
needed_
PICP, Concrete Grid Pavements (tvith aggregate in11ll), Pentous Concrete, and Porous
Asphalt': Use a regenerative air or vacuum sweeper after any significant site work (e.g.,
landscaping) and approximately twice per year to maintain infiltration rates. Ibis should be done on
a warm dry day for best results_ Do not use water with the sweeper. The frequency is site specific
and inspections of the pavement may show that biannual vacuuming is more frequent than necessary.
After vacuuming PICP and Concrete Grid Pavers, replace infill aggregate as needed
11.3 Snow Removal
In general, permeable pavements do not form ice to the same extent as conventional pavements.
Additionally, conventional liquid treatments (deicers) will not stay at the surface of a permeable
pavement as needed for the treatment to be effective. Sand should not be applied to a permeable
pavement as it can reduce infiltration. Plowing is the recommended snow removal process. Conventional
plowing operations should not cause damage to the pavements.
■ PICP and Concrete Grid: Deicers muy be used on PICP and grid pavers-, however, it may not be
effective far the reason stated above. Sand should not be used. If sand is accidently used, use a
vacuum sweeper to remove the sand. Mechanical snow and ice removal should be used.
• Pentons Concrete: Do not use liquid or solid deicers or sand on pervious concrete_ Deicers can
damage the concrete and sand will reduce infiltration. Mechanical snow and ice removal should be
used_
• Porous Asphalt': Use liquid or solid deicers sparingly, mechanical snow and ice removal is
preferred_ Do not apply sand to porous asphalt_
11.4 Fall and Partial Replacement of the Pavement or Infill Material
• PICP and Concrete Grid: Concrete pavers, when installed correctly, should have a long service
life. If a repair is required, it is fiequently due to poor placement of the paver blocks. Follow
industry guidelines for installation and replacement after underground repairs -
If surface is completely dogged and rendering a minimal surface infiltration rate, restoration of
surface infiltration can be achieved by removing the fast % to I inch of soiled aggregate infill

material with a vacuum sweeper. After cleaning the openings in the PICP will need to be refilled
with clean aggregate infill materials. Replacement of the infill is best accomplished with push
brooms.
Porous Gravel: Remove and replace areas of excessive wear or reduced infiltration as needed.. The
frequency is dependent on site characteristics including site uses, vegetation, and materials.
12.0 Underground BMPs
Maintenance requirements of underground BMPs can vary greatly depending on the type of BMP.
Frequent inspections (approximately every three months) are recommended in the first two years in order
to determine the appropriate interval of maintenance for a given BUF This section provides general
recommendations for assorted underground BMPs. For proprietary devices, the manufacturer should
provide detailed maintenance requirements specific for the BMP.
12.1 Inspection
• All Underground BMPs: Inspect underground BMPs at least quarterly for the first two years of
operation and then twice a year for the life of the BMP, if a reduced inspection schedule is warranted
based on the initial two years. Specifically look for debris that could cause the structure to bypass
water quality flows. Strong odors may also indicate that the facdlity is not draining Ply
Inspection should be perfor med by a person who is fairlih with the operation and configuration of
the BMP_
• Inlet Inserts: Inspect inlet inserts frequently; at a minimum, inspect after every storm event
exceeding 0.6 inches. Removal of flow blocking debris is critical for flood control_
12.2 Debris Removal, Cartridge Replacement, and Vacuuming
All Underground BMPs: Follow the manufacturees recommended maintenance requirements and
remove any flow blocking debris as soon as possible following inspection-

8.0 Sand Filters
Sand filters have relatively low routine maintenance requirements. Maintenance frrquency depends on
pollutant loads in nunof� the amount of construction activity within the tributary watershed, the erosion
control measures implemented, the size of the watershed, and the design of the facility.
8.1 Inspection
Inspect the detention area once or twice annually following precipitation events to determine if the sand
filter is providing acceptable infiltration. Also cheek for erosion and repair as necessary.

acceptance of the warranted improvements is received from the City by, such other
person or entity.
29
F. Street improvements shall not be installed until all utility lines to be placed
therein have been completely installed, including all individual lot service lines (water
and sewer) leading in and from the main to the property line and all electrical lines.
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.
H. Public easements shall be provided for access, utilities and drainage as
required by the design and location of such infrastructure and as reflected on the plans.
Alignment and grades on privately maintained streets and drives shall allow for safe
access, ingress and egress by owners, visitors, the general public and public safety
officials and equipment, as approved by the City Engineer.
I. All storm drainage facilities shall be designed and constructed by the
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
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
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
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.
M. 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
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.
N. 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.
Paver repair and replacement in Downtown alleys shall comply with the City's specific
requirements for pavers.
II. 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 Final Development Plan
Documents prior to the issuance any certificate of occupancy. Completion of
improvements shall include the certification by a professional engineer licensed in
Colorado that the drainage facilities which serve this 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 issuance of any
certificate of occupancy in this Development.
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 $18,163.13 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
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 improvements to the limits of construction as shown on the Final Development
Plan Documents. The contractor shall re -seed and/or 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 properties during
the construction of these 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 storm water runoff from
frequent storms through a small diameter outlet. Under the intended operation of the
water quality and detention area, there will not be standing water in the underground
detention area more than 48 hours after the end of a rainfall event. If after construction
and acceptance of the detention facilities associated with this Development, surfacing or
standing water conditions persist in these facilities; and if such conditions are beyond
what can be expected in accordance with the approved storm water design, the
Developer shall promptly, upon such discovery, bring the drainage facilities to
compliance with the City's Storm Water Criteria Manual. 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 in accordance
with the Standard Operating Procedures attached to this document as Exhibit B.
9. The Developer shall be responsible for maintenance of the custom
chase grates for the public sidewalk as shown on the Final Development Plan
Documents.
D. Streets.
1. Subject to the conditions of this Agreement, the City agrees to
reimburse the Developer for oversizing public street improvements along Plum Street
for those portions of said street abutting the Property as shown on the Final
Development Plan Documents. Reimbursement for Plum Street shall be for oversizing
the sidewalk from local (access) standards to collector standards, for the area along
Plum Street between Aster Street and Bluebell Street where sidewalk does not (or has
not previously) existed. This amount of linear frontage along Plum Street between Aster
Street and Bluebell Street eligible for reimbursement has been determined to be 160
feet. Construction of sidewalk beyond the collector width of 5 feet is not eligible for
reimbursement and is limited to oversizing the sidewalk from 4.5 feet local (access)
standards to 5 feet 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.
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. As shown on the Final Development Plan Documents, Columbine
Street and Daisy Street are to be abandoned and removed with the Development.
Ordinance No. 106, 2012 approved by City Council vacates the City's interest in right-
of-way for Columbine Street and Daisy Street but retains easements for access,
emergency access, drainage, and utilities. A request by the Developer to vacate these
easements (upon the Developer's completion of the abandonment of the Columbine
Street and Daisy Street roadways and associated utilities) requires payment to the City
of costs to vacate such easements, which include the City's Transportation
Development Review Fee of $400 and Larimer County recording fees for the resolution
approving the vacation. In addition, a legal description and exhibit acceptable to the City
for the area to be vacated shall be provided. The City reserves the right to withhold the
vacation of said easements until the above described costs and materials are provided
to the City.
4. The pavement design and construction standards for privately
maintained streets shall be the same as the standards for public streets. Grades,
alignments, and widths may be modified in accordance with accepted design principles,
only on the condition that safe access is maintained for all future owners, visitors, the
general public and public safety officials and equipment. Such modifications from public
street standards may be made only if approved by the City Engineer. Easements for
access, utilities and drainage shall be dedicated to the public and clearly shown on the
plat.
5. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the Developer
shall be responsible for all costs for the initial installation of traffic signing and striping
for this Development, including both signing and striping related to the Developer's
internal street operations and the signing and striping of any adjacent or adjoining local,
collector or arterial streets that is made necessary because of the Development.
6. Following completion of all public infrastructure improvements, the
Developer shall continue to have responsibility for maintenance and repair of said
improvements in accordance with Sections 2.2.3, 3.3.1 and 3.3.2 of the Land Use Code
of the City.
E. Natural Resources
Not Applicable
F. Soil Amendment
1. In all areas associated with this Development that are to be
landscaped or planted in accordance with the Final Development Plan Documents, and
do not require a building permit, the soils shall be loosened and amended by the
