remove all such waste materials, rubbish, tools, construction equipment, machinery,
and surplus materials from the public right-of-way. The Developer further agrees to

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

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

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
Development Agreement. The processing and "routing for approval" of the various
development plan documents may result in certain of said documents carrying dates of
approval and/or execution that are later than the date of execution of this Development
Agreement or the Memorandum Of Agreement (if any) recorded to give record notice of
this Agreement. The Developer hereby waives any right to object to any such
discrepancy in dates.

laws of the State of Colorado. Except as is otherwise permitted pursuant to C.R.S. 24-
68-105, the City agrees that it shall impose no additional standards or requirements
beyond those set forth in the Final Development Plan Documents, and the Developer

improvements which are not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, including but
not limited to, obtaining a development construction permit, posting of collateral,
provision of applicable construction warranties and guarantees, inspections, issuance of
building permits and certificates of occupancy and payment of all applicable City fees.

annually appropriated, budgeted and otherwise made available by the Fort Collins City
Council, in its discretion.

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,
14
as well as any assignment of the Developer's rights to develop the Property under the
terms and conditions of this Agreement.
I. In the event the Developer transfers title to the Property and is thereby
divested of all equitable and legal interest in the Property, the Developer shall be
released from liability under this Agreement with respect to any breach of the terms and
conditions of this Agreement occurring after the date of any such transfer of interest. In
such event, the succeeding property owner shall be bound by the terms of this
Agreement.
J. Each and every term of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a material
element hereof. In the event that either party shall fail to perform according to the terms
of this Agreement, such party may be declared in default. In the event that a party has
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.

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 IV.D of this Agreement.

STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURES (SOPs)
Mail Creek Crossing, Fort Collins, CO
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
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. Site -Specific SOPS
The following stormwater facilities contained within the Mail Creek Crossing project are subject to
SOP requirements:
- Extended Detention Basin
- Storm Drains and Tree Roots
The location of said facilities can be found on the Utility Plans and Landscape Plans for Mail Creek
Crossing. Site specific features are listed below:
Extended Detention Basin

Inspection and maintenance procedures and frequencies, specific maintenance requirements and
activities, as well as BMP-specific constraints and considerations shall follow the guidelines outlined
in Volume 3 of the Urban Drainage and Flood Control District (UDFCD) Urban Storm Drainage
Criteria Manual.

H. 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
3
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 storm drainage basin fees in accordance with
Chapter 26, Article VII of the City Code. This is fee 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 any phase of
the construction. Utilities will not be initially accepted prior to as -built drawings being
submitted to and approved by the City of Fort Collins.
K. The Developer specifically represents that to the best of its knowledge all
portions of the Property dedicated (both in fee simple and as easements) to the County
or to the City associated with this Development (whether on or off -site) are in
compliance with all environmental protection and anti -pollution laws, rules, regulations,
orders or requirements, including solid waste requirements, as defined by the U. S.
Environmental Protection Agency Regulations at 40 C.F.R., Part 261, and that such
portions of the Property as are dedicated to the City pursuant to this Development, are
in compliance with all such requirements pertaining to the disposal or existence in or on
such dedicated property of any hazardous substances, pollutants or contaminants, as
defined by the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability
Act of 1980, as amended, and regulations promulgated thereunder. The Developer, 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 portions of the
Property dedicated to the City in connection with this Development. The City agrees to
give notice to the Developer of any claim made against it to which this indemnity and
hold harmless agreement by the Developer could apply, and the Developer shall have
the right to defend any lawsuit based on such claim and to settle any such claim
provided Developer must obtain a complete discharge of all City liability through such
settlement. Failure of the City to give notice of any such claim to the Developer within
ninety (90) days after the City first receives a notice of such claim under the Colorado
Governmental Immunity Act for the same, shall cause this indemnity and hold harmless
agreement by the Developer to not apply to such claim and such failure shall constitute
a release of this indemnity and hold harmless agreement as to such claim.
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
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.
Ill. Special Conditions
A. Water Lines
1. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the

C. Storm Drainage Lines and Appurtenances
1. The Final Development Plan Documents for this Development call
for the phasing of the construction of storm drainage improvements. The Developer
shall complete these improvements sequentially in accordance with said Final
Development Plan Documents starting with Phase 1 and ending with Phase 2. The
sequential completion of these improvements shall necessitate that the required overall
5
site drainage certification be done in phases in accordance with the following
requirements:
a) All on -site and off -site storm drainage improvements associated with Phase 1 of 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 of more than 23 building permits in Phase 1.
Phase 1 construction shall include the overlot grading of the entire development site.
Following the overlot grading of the entire site, all the disturbed areas in Phases 2
that are slated for future development shall be temporarily seeded and mulched.
b) All on -site and off -site storm drainage improvements associated with Phase 2 of 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 of more than 12 single family building permits in
Phase 2 of the Development.
c) In all cases, completion of improvements shall include the certification by a
professional engineer licensed in Colorado that the drainage facilities 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
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 $76,220.63 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
6
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 IV.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 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 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
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 per the
Standard Operating Procedures located in Exhibit "D".
D. Streets.
1. No street oversizing reimbursement from the City is due the
Developer for this Development.
2. Prior to construction of the precast box/ bridge structure ("Bridge")
for the crossing of the Mail Creek Ditch for Tilden Street the Developer shall submit to
the City Engineering Department for review and approval a full plan set containing the
design of this structure signed and sealed by a Colorado licensed professional
engineer. The Bridge shall be designed to the most current AASHTO LRFD Bridge
Design Specifications, which at the date of this agreement is the 6th Edition with 2013
Interim Revisions, shall have a 6 foot wide attached sidewalks, parapet walls, and shall
also be designed to meet the CDOT Bridge Rating Manual requirements, LRFR rating
method, Inventory z 36 tons and Operating z 46 tons. No construction on the Bridge
shall occur until the Bridge plan set has been approved by the City.
3. At least two weeks prior to the acceptance of the Bridge on Tilden
Street the Developer shall provide the City with "as constructed" drawings for the bridge
structure, a load rating summary sheet (CDOT rating sheet), and calculations with a
cover letter signed and stamped by a Colorado licensed professional engineer. The
submittal shall show that the load ratings meet the requirements identified in Paragraph
2 above. The City will not accept a bridge structure that does not meet the design and
loading requirements. If the Bridge does not meet the design and/or loading
8
requirements it shall be reconstructed or structural changes made so that the Bridge will
meet the design and loading requirements. A bridge load rating can be done prior to
construction of the structure and it is recommended that this be done to verify that the
design that was submitted and approved meets these requirements.
4. In accordance with Section 24-95 of the City Code the Developer is
responsible for constructing the portion of Spruce Creek Drive within the site prior to the
issuance of the first building permit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Developer shall
have the option to postpone the Spruce Creek Drive construction from centerline station
32+54.08 to the east property line (11 feet), by delivering to the City a cash deposit
sufficient to guarantee completion of the construction of the improvements. The amount
of said funds shall be the City adopted `Local Street Cost' for the year in which the
payment is made. The Local Street Cost is a per linear foot cost estimate prepared
yearly and approved by the City for the cost to install the local street portion of a
roadway. The estimate includes but is not limited to the cost of the pavement and
subgrade, curb, gutter and 4.5 feet (in width) of sidewalk, and the parkway landscaping.
The total Local Street Cost shall be deposited with the City prior to the issuance of any
building permit for this Development.
The improvements to Spruce Creek Drive 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 Spruce Creek Drive, whichever shall first occur; provided, however,
that the City shall not withhold building permits or certificates of occupancy on account
of such 11 feet of improvements not having been completed so long as the Developer
timely commences and completes the construction of the remaining street portion as
provided herein and has made the substitutionary payment described above.
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, or causes the construction of, 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, (which includes said amount deposited plus any interest earned by
the City) to be kept by the City to cover its costs for administration of said deposits.
5. The phasing shall be constructed in order and later phases cannot
be constructed prior to an earlier phase, although the phases can be constructed
concurrently.
6. A temporary emergency access connection is required through
Outlot D if Phase 2 construction occurs prior to the development of the adjacent eastern
property and prior to the extension of Spruce Creek Drive through this adjacent property
currently known as Kechter Farm. In order to accommodate this connection a curb
opening shall be constructed in the vertical curb along Tilden Street as a part of Phase
2 construction. This curb opening, if needed, shall be installed prior to the issuance of
