hydrants, electrical lines, sanitary sewer lines and stubs to each lot, and public streets
(including curb, gutter, sidewalk, and pavement with at least the base course
completed) serving such structure have been completed and accepted by the City. No
building permits shall be issued for any structure located in excess of six hundred and
sixty feet (660') from a single point of access, unless the structures contain sprinkler
systems that are approved by the Poudre Fire Authority.
D. Any water lines, sanitary sewer lines, storm drainage lines, electrical lines,
and/or streets described on Exhibit 'A" attached hereto, shall be installed within the
time and/or sequence required on Exhibit "A." If the City Engineer has determined that

Developer within the time as established under "Special Conditions" in this Agreement.
E. Except as otherwise herein specifically agreed, the Developer agrees to
install and pay for all water, sanitary sewer, and storm drainage facilities and
appurtenances, and all streets, curbs, gutters, sidewalks, bikeways and other public
improvements required by this Development as shown on the Final Development Plan
Documents and other approved documents pertaining to this Development on file with

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.

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

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.
1. 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.
J. 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.
K. 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.
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.
M. 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.

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.

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

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.

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

the Land Use Code, it must establish at least 0.0045 acres (200 square feet) of
wetlands in order to mitigate the loss of 0.0045 acres of wetlands located in the
Development. To meet this requirement, the Developer has requested that the City
mitigate for said 0.0045 acre by establishing mitigation wetlands as part of a City project
within the Gardens on Spring Creek, conditioned upon the payment by the Developer to
the City of the amount of $5,000 prior to the issuance of a Development Construction
Permit. The City will inform the Developer of the location and boundary of such
mitigation wetlands after they have been determined by the City.
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
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
seepage or flooding, structural damage or other damage resulting from failure of any
such subdrain system.
3. Without admitting or denying any duty to protect water rights, the
Developer, for itself and its successor(s) in interest, hereby agrees to indemnify and
hold harmless the City against any damages or injuries to water rights caused, directly
8
or indirectly by the construction, establishment, maintenance or operation of the
Development.
4. The City agrees to give notice to the Developer of any claim made
against it to which the foregoing indemnities and hold harmless agreements by the
Developer could apply, and the Developer shall have the right to defend any lawsuit
based on such claim and to settle any such claim provided the Developer must obtain a
complete discharge of all City liability through such settlement. Failure of the City to
give notice of any such claim to the Developer within ninety (90) days after the City first
receives notice of such claim under the Colorado Governmental Immunity Act for the
same, shall cause the forgoing indemnities and hold harmless agreements by the
Developer to not apply to such claim and such failure shall constitute a release of the
foregoing indemnities and hold harmless agreements as to such claim.
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.
Footing and Foundation Permits
1. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the
Developer shall have the right to obtain Footing and Foundation permits 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 site as shown on the Final Development Plan Documents.
