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.

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

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.
H. Hazards and Emergency Access
1. No combustible materials 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

accessway to said building or buildings in compliance with the City Code. 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.) The accessway shall be constructed in a manner consistent with the Final
Development Plan Documents. If any accessway is at any time deemed inadequate or
noncompliant with the Final Development Plan Documents 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.

or the Developer's successor, including the OA, shall ensure that the fire lanes are
reasonably free of obstructions at all times, including ice and snow.
4. The Development requires construction of fire lanes for emergency
services, of which portions of the various fire lanes are part of the parking structures,
are above ground surface, and are structurally supported. Said fire lanes are indicated
as emergency access easements on the plat. The following items are required to be
addressed as a result of the fire lanes' configuration:
a. Prior to any certificate of occupancy for each phase of the
Development, the Developer shall submit to the City three signed &
stamped copies of a report by a licensed professional engineer in the state

Development, the Developer shall post signage at the entrances off of
Mason Street, Maple Street, Howes Street, and Cherry Street (as
appropriate per each phase), outside of public right-of-way, indicating
weight restrictions as recommended in the above referenced report,
paragraph a. The Developer shall be responsible for maintaining clear
ingress/egress at all times for emergency service vehicles. The Developer
hereby acknowledges that Poudre Fire Authority and other emergency
services will enforce to the fullest extent of the law any blockage of the fire
lane, including vehicles.
Footing and Foundation Permits
1. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the
Developer shall have the right to obtain a Footing and Foundation permit upon the
installation of all underground water, sanitary sewer, and storm sewer facilities, and an
emergency accessway for the Phase in which the permit is being requested. Facilities
shall include but not be limited to all mains, lines, services, fire hydrants and
appurtenances for the Phase as shown on the Final Development Plan Documents.
J. 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 (or Section 29-12 of the Transitional Land Use Regulations, if applicable),
prior to the Developer commencing construction. The Developer shall pay the required
fees for said Permit and construction inspection, and post security to guarantee
completion of the public improvements required for this Development, prior to issuance
of the Development Construction Permit.
K. Maintenance and Repair Guarantees
1. The Developer agrees to provide a two-year maintenance
guarantee and a five-year repair guarantee for public improvements completed as part
of a given phase covering all errors or omissions in the design and/or construction of the
public improvements required for this Development, which guarantees shall run
concurrently and shall commence upon the date of completion of the public
improvements for such phase and acceptance thereof by the City, which acceptance
shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. More specific elements of
these guarantees are noted in Exhibit "C." Security for the maintenance guarantee and
the repair guarantee shall be as provided in Section 3.3.2(C) of the Land Use Code, or
Section 29-14 of the Transitional Land Use Regulations, as applicable. Notwithstanding
the provisions of paragraphs III (H) and (1) of this Agreement to the contrary, the
obligations of the Developer pursuant to this paragraph and Exhibit "C may not be
assigned or transferred to any other person or entity unless the warranted
improvements are completed by, and a letter of acceptance of the warranted
13
improvements is received from the City by, such other person or entity. No warranty
provided hereunder shall be deemed extended, renewed or created by any repairs or
maintenance undertaken by the Developer in response to any warranty claims
hereunder. To the extent of any inconsistency between this paragraph and the plat, this
paragraph shall control.
III. Miscellaneous
A. The Developer agrees to provide and install, at its expense, adequate
barricades, warning signs and similar safety devices at all construction sites within the
public right-of-way and/or other areas as deemed necessary by the City Engineer and
Traffic Engineer in accordance with the City's "Work Area Traffic Control Handbook"
and shall not remove said safety devices until the construction has been completed.
B. As required pursuant to Chapter 20, Article IV of the City Code, the
Developer shall, at all times, keep the public right-of-way free from accumulation of
waste material, rubbish, or building materials caused by the Developer's operation, or
the activities of individual builders and/or subcontractors; shall remove such rubbish as
often as necessary, but not 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties
acknowledge that the Development is a large construction site and the generation of
noise, dust, dirt, debris and other material on the construction site is to be expected as a
reasonable part of the construction process.
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
14
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.
E. Nothing herein contained shall be construed as a waiver of any
requirements of the City Code, Land Use Code, or Transitional Land Use Regulations
(as applicable) and the Developer agrees to comply with all requirements of the same.
F. In the event either party hereto 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 and shall 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. Notwithstanding any other provision herein to the contrary, 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 further obligations hereunder or 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
15
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 substantially defaulting party shall be liable to the
substantially non -defaulting party for the non -defaulting party's reasonable legal 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.

that this Agreement shall be governed by and its terms construed under the laws of the

grantees or assigns, wishes to change the person, entity or address to which notices
under this Agreement are to be sent as provided above, such party shall do so by giving
the other parties to this Agreement written notice of such change.
O. When used in this Agreement, words of the masculine gender shall
include the feminine and neuter gender, and when the sentence so indicates, words of
the neuter gender shall refer to any gender; and words in the singular shall include the
plural and vice versa. This Agreement shall be construed according to its fair meaning,
and as if prepared by all parties hereto, and shall be deemed to be and contain the
entire understanding and agreement between the parties hereto pertaining to the
matters addressed in this Agreement. There shall be deemed to be no other terms,
conditions, promises, understandings, statements, representations, expressed or
implied, concerning this Agreement, unless set forth in writing signed by all of the
parties hereto. Further, paragraph headings used herein are for convenience of
reference and shall in no way define, limit, or prescribe the scope or intent of any
provision under this Agreement.
P. The City and the Developer expressly acknowledge and agree that the
City as owner of the Property shall not be liable for any obligations of the Developer
under this Agreement, unless the City were to exercise any of the rights of the
Developer in which event the obligations of the Developer shall become those of the
City.
Q. This Agreement is executed in conjunction with a contract for the sale of
real estate between the parties dated February 24, 2006, (the "Contract") and the
parties hereto agree that the Contract contains development specific rights and
obligations which survive such contract and are deemed incorporated herein to the
extent not expressly inconsistent with the terms hereof, including the provision and
reservation of certain easements, temporary construction easements, rights of way,
rights of first refusal, and covenants to be recorded with respect to the Property.
R. The Developer shall have no obligation to develop all or any portion of the
Property and shall have no liability under this Agreement to the City or to any other
party for its failure to develop all or any part of the Development. The Developer and
the City contemplate that the Development will be developed in phases. The Developer
shall have no obligation to develop all or any portion of any phase, notwithstanding the
development or non -development of any other phase, and the Developer shall have no
liability under this Agreement to the City or any other party for its failure to develop all or
any portion of any phase of the Development.
S. The Developer shall have the right, without the consent of any other party
to this Agreement, to assign or transfer all or any portion of its interests, rights or
obligations under this Agreement to any Affiliate of the Developer or all of its interests,
obligations or rights under this Agreement to any third party acquiring an interest or
17
estate in the Development, including, but not limited to, purchasers or long-term ground
lessees of individual lots, parcels or of any improvements now or hereafter located
within the Development, provided any such assigned shall expressly assume
Developer's obligations hereunder. The express assumption of any of the Developer's
obligations under this Agreement by its assignee or transferee shall thereby relieve the
Developer of any further obligations under this Agreement with respect to the matter so
assumed. The Developer shall give the City written notice of any such assignment or
assumption. No assignment of a portion of Seller's interest, obligations or rights
hereunder shall be permitted unless (i) as to a completed Phase of the Project, all
requirements hereunder related to such Phase have been completed and (A) such
Phase's engineering, infrastructure, access and other requisite real property rights (such
as necessary easements) are completed and fully "stand-alone/independent" of other
phases contemplated hereunder, or (B) to the extent such engineering, infrastructure,
access and other requisite real property rights are not "stand-alone/independent" of
other phases, then the interdependent engineering, infrastructure, access and other
requisite real property rights on the other phase or phases must have been completed
prior to such transfer. The parties acknowledge that upon completion of a given phase
and upon sale of a certain number of units therein by the Developer, the Developer is
required to transfer control of the real property related to such phase to an owners
association under CCIOA, and therefore, no consent of the City to any such transfer
shall be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
T. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein or any exhibit hereto, the
compliance and performance of, and the exercise of discretion by, either party to this
Agreement shall be governed by the standards of reasonableness.
U. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, except to the extent
the same may be modified by contract, nothing herein shall be construed as a waiver of
any limitations or defenses of the City under the Colorado Governmental Immunity Act
of the Constitution of the State of Colorado. Further, no indemnity or hold harmless
provided by one party to another hereunder shall be deemed an indemnification or hold
harmless of a party for that parties own negligent, willful, or intentional acts or
omissions, or those of such parties' employees, agents or contractors.
V. The parties acknowledge that, pursuant to the Purchase and Sale
Agreement, the Project is intended to be and will be completed in phases consistent
with the Final Development Plan Documents. Further, it is acknowledged that upon
completion of a given Phase, the improvements in that Phase may be sold in whole or
in part to third parties prior to commencement or completion of succeeding Phases.
Such Phases may be constructed in succession as provided herein, may be
commenced before completion of a preceding Phase, or two or more Phases may be
constructed simultaneously; provided, however, the sequence of construction shall be in
the following order:
19
Phase 1: Parcel A as described in the Purchase and Sale Agreement and

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; provided, however, that
construction of the same consistent with the approved Final Development Plan
Documents shall constitute compliance hereunder.
1. All storm drainage facilities shall be so designed and constructed by the
Developer 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
3
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 storm drainage basin fees in accordance with
Chapter 26, Article VII of the City Code. Storm drainage improvements eligible for
credit or City repayment under the provisions of Chapter 26 are described together with
the estimated cost of the improvements on the attached Exhibit "B," which
improvements, if applicable, shall include right-of-way, design and construction costs.
See Section II.C, Special Conditions, Storm Drainage Lines and Appurtenances, for
specific instructions. Such fees shall be paid pursuant to the phasing schedule for each
Phase.
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 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 Development 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.

against any claims that may be brought against the City by the PUC and/or the
Burlington Northern Railway Company for failure to comply with said order.
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 4, as set
forth in Paragraph III.V, below. The sequential completion of these improvements shall
necessitate that the required overall site drainage certification be done in phases in
accordance with the following requirements:
5
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 any certificate of
occupancy in Phase 1.
b. Similarly, all on -site and off -site storm drainage
improvements associated with each of Phases 2, 3, and 4 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 any certificate of occupancy in each
of said Phases 2, 3, and 4 respectively of this Development.
It is understood and agreed that each of the four Phases
may be completed at separate times, or in combination with
any other phase.
C. In all cases, completion of improvements shall include the
certification by a professional engineer licensed in Colorado
(and who may be selected by the Developer), that the
drainage facilities which sere any particular phase of
Development have been constructed in conformance with
said Final Development Plan Documents, as the same may
related to such Phase. Said certification shall be submitted
to the City at least two weeks prior to the issuance of any
certificate of occupancy for each phase.
2. The Developer has agreed to a payment -in -lieu option for water
quality mitigation required for this development. A total payment of $40,000 dollars will
be paid to the City of Fort Collins Stormwater Utility. The payment must be received
prior to the issuance of the Development Construction Permit ("DCP") for each phase.
The payments can be broken into three segments as follows, or may be paid in whole or
in part in advance of such schedule:
a. A payment of $16,000 prior to the issuance of the DCP for
Phase 1.
b. A payment of $12,000 prior to the issuance of the DCP for
Phase 2.
C. A payment of $12,000 prior to the issuance of the DCP for
Phase 3.
3. The Developer shall be responsible for maintaining the structural
integrity and operational functions of all drainage facilities throughout the build -out of
ri
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 determines 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 for the warranty period therefor (as the same commences on the completion
of the applicable Phase), 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.
4. 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 $9,574.00 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 if 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.
5. 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 (who may be
selected by Developer) and shall be submitted to the City at least two
weeks prior to the date of issuance of the desired certificate of occupancy.
6. 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 acting on behalf of the
Developer. 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.
7. 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 Developer 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. No
grading shall be done outside of the approved areas as shown on the Final
Development Plan Documents.
8. The Developer shall be responsible for maintenance of all storm
drainage facilities that are constructed outside of the public right-of-way. The Developer
shall also be responsible for the installation and maintenance of all the roof drain piping
that serves this property, even though some of this piping is located within the public
right of way. The Developer shall ensure that the roof drain piping network remains in a
good operational condition at all times.
9. The Developer shall first obtain permission from the City for any
landscape changes within the drainage easement located within this Development. The
City will only maintain the Howes Street Outfall box culvert within this drainage
easement.
10. The Developer shall obtain a Floodplain Use Permit from the City of
Fort Collins prior to commencing any construction activity within the Old Town
Floodplain Limits as delineated on the Final Development Plan Documents for this
Development.
M
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,
Cherry Street, and Howes Street for those portions of said street abutting the Property
as shown on the Final Development Plan Documents. Reimbursement for Howes
Street and Mason Street shall be for oversizing the sidewalk from local (access)
standards to minor arterial standards. Reimbursement for Cherry Street shall be for
oversizing the sidewalk from local (access) standards to collector standards. The City
shall make reimbursement to the Developer for the aforesaid oversized street
improvements 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. It is anticipated
by the City that the City's reimbursement, in accordance with Section 24-112 (d), would
not be less than fifty percent (50%) of the Developer's actual expenses incurred and will
be calculated in accordance with the formula as set forth in Section 24-112 (d).
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. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the Developer
shall be responsible for all costs for the initial installation of traffic signing and striping
