61
improvements as shown on the approved 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 $1,424.00 prior to beginning
construction to guarantee the proper installation and maintenance of the erosion control
measures shown on the approved 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 provisions of the approved final development plan
documents or the Criteria, 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

the approved final development plan documents. To ensure performance, the following
additional requirements shall be followed for all buildings in this Development :
a. Prior to the issuance of a certificate of occupancy for any unit or building in
this Development the Developer shall provide the City with an individual
grading certification. Such certification shall verify that the finished floor
elevation of that building and all adjacent grades to that building have
been graded correctly - including the grading of any minor swales, when
applicable. That certification shall also certify that the minimum -floor
elevation (when applicable) for the building constructed; has been
completed in accordance with the approved 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.
This certification can be done in conjunction with the one required in
paragraph C.1. above.
5. The Developer shall obtain the City's prior approval of any changes
from the approved final development plan documents in grade elevations and/or storm
drainage facility configuration that occur as a result of the construction of structures,
whether by the Developer or other parties. The City reserves the right to withhold the
issuance of building permits and/or certificates of occupancy for this Development until
the City has approved such changes as being acceptable for the safe and efficient
delivery of storm drainage water.
M
6. The Developer is obligated to maintain all on -site storm drainage
facilities not accepted for maintenance by the City and all off -site storm drainage
facilities not accepted for maintenance by the City serving this Development and outside
of the public right-of-way.
7. The drainage design for this Development provides for the
evacuation of storm drainage runoff in a reasonable amount of time out of the detention
facilities and into the drainage outfall system. If, during or within 2 years 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 limit the construction of the storm drainage
improvements 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 storm drainage improvements in accordance with the Final

activities associated with this Development.
D. Streets.
1. Subject to the conditions of this Agreement, the City agrees to
reimburse the Developer for oversizing public street improvements along Mason Street

sidewalk from local (access) standards to connector standards The City shall make
reimbursement to the Developer for the aforesaid oversized street improvements in

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. 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.
4. Following completion of all public infrastructure improvements, the

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 its
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

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

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
