SO Mr. Lincoln Mueller City of Fort Collins Stormwater Utility Department 235 Mathews Street Fort Collins, CO 80524 Re: Willow Springs P. U.D. Revised Cost Evaluation of the McClelland Channel Project No. 10-695-054 Dear Link: July 7, 1995 This letter is in response to your comments and concerns regarding the proposed Developer's repay cost estimate for the McClelland Channel. The following items correspond to your comments outlined in your letter dated July 6, 1995. The Developer now understands that the Stormwater Utility Department is unable to reimburse him for the proposed street crossings. Items associated with these street crossings have been removed from the cost estimate. Class 6 Riprap at the existing railroad culvert outlet remain, as we feel this is an item that the Stormwater Utility Department should reimburse the Developer for. 2. The Developer agrees that the unit cost per acre of land will need to be negotiated. We have kept the unit cost in the cost estimate and noted that this will need to be negotiated between the Developer and the City of Fort Collins Rights -of -Way agent. 3. The Contractor's bid price to reseed & mulch includes reseeding with an equal mix of Western Wheatgrass and Blue Grama drill seeded at a rate of 11.40 pls/ac. Mulch shall be either straw or grass hay applied at a rate of two tons per acre and is to be mechanically crimped into the soil. 4. The Developer does not plan to install any type of temporary irrigation along the channel however, he does plan to install a permanent irrigation system. The permanent irrigation system will irrigate the open spaces, including some areas of the channel. Costs associated with the maintenance of the channel have been included in the cost estimate. 5. A note has been added to the cost estimate stating that the secondary line items are for budgeting purposes only. TST INC.

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 utility plans shall supersede the standard specifications. A. 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 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 development 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; and (3) specific directives that may be given to the Developer by the City. 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.

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 does hereby indemnify and hold harmless the City from any liability whatsoever that may be imposed upon the City by any governmental authority, 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 pursuant to this development. The Developer further agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the City from any claims or actions based directly, indirectly or in any manner on any of the aforementioned environmental risks brought against the City by third parties arising as a result of the dedication of portions of the Property to the City pursuant to this development. 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 pursuant to this development. II. Special Conditions A. Water Lines 1. The Developer and the City agree that the Developer may be eligible for reimbursement for oversizing a water line in Battle Creek Drive and Keenland Drive, if done in accordance with Section 26-371 of the City Code, and may also be eligible for other reimbursements in accordance with the provisions of Section 26-372 of the City Code. The parties acknowledge and agree, however, that any such reimbursements to be paid by the City shall be the subject of a separate written agreement between the City and the Developer. 4 2. The parties acknowledge that the existing 16" diameter water line in Timberline Road along the frontage of the Property has previously been constructed by the developers of neighboring properties that are also served by said water line. In the event that the City enters into reimbursement agreements with said third party developers, the Developer will become obligated to make payment to the City for a portion of the costs of the same. Therefore, at such time, if at all, that the Developer receives a statement from the City for a portion of said costs, pursuant to any such reimbursement agreements, the Developer shall forthwith make such payment to the City, in the amount requested by the City, prior to the issuance of any additional building permits for the Property. B. Storm Drainage Lines and Appurtenances 1. The Developer and the City agree that all on -site and off -site storm drainage improvements shall be completed by the Developer in accordance with the approved plans prior to the issuance of more than 39 building permits. Completion of improvements shall include the certification by a licensed professional engineer that the drainage facilities which serve the Property have been constructed in conformance with said approved plans. Any deviations from the approved utility plans shall be the responsibility of the Developer to correct prior to the issuance of more than said 39 building permits. Said certification shall be submitted to the City at least two weeks prior to the date of application for any additional building permits after the above referenced 39 building permits have been issued. 2. The Developer agrees to provide and maintain erosion control improvements as shown on the approved utility plans 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 $83,475.00 prior to beginning construction to guarantee the proper installation and maintenance of the erosion control measures shown on the approved Plan. Said security deposit shall be made in accordance with the criteria set forth in the Storm Drainage Design Criteria and Construction Standards (Criteria). If, at any time, the Developer fails to abide by the provisions of the approved utility plans or the Criteria, 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 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. 5 3. The Developer and the City agree that the storm drainage system for this development contains some features that make it important to construct the facilities in accordance with the plans and to ensure that the facilities are maintained and kept operational throughout the buildout of this development. For this reason the following additional requirements shall be followed for building on Lots 2 through 4, 8 through 14, 30, 31, 34, 35, 49, 50, 59, 60, 73 through 76, 89, 90, 100 and 101: (a) The portions of the drainage improvement system required to be constructed on any of the above lots, and other portions not on said lots but that are necessary for the system serving said lots to properly function, shall be completed in accordance with the approved utility plans and certified as being completed in accordance with said plans by a licensed professional engineer. Said certification shall be received by the City prior to the issuance of a building permit for any of the above lots. A certification by such engineer that the drainage systems' function and adequacy to serve its purpose has not been impaired by the construction and landscaping on said lot shall be submitted to the City prior to the issuance of a certificate of occupancy for each of the above lots. (b) The Developer shall be required to file a notice with the Larimer County Clerk and Recorder describing the landscaping and fencing restrictions that exist for the drainage easements on each of said lots. Said notice shall reference the location of the specific restrictions shown on plans and notes in the approved utility plans for this development. Said notice shall be filed, in a form approved by the City, prior to the sale of any lots affected by these restrictions. 4. The parties acknowledge that Lots 1, 2, 4 through 7, 14, 15 through 22, 34 through 36, 48, 49, and 86 through 89 abut certain storm drainage facilities. It is agreed that it is of the utmost importance that no storm water from said facilities enters houses built on said lots. In order to ensure that houses built on said lots are constructed at an elevation that said storm water cannot enter, the approved utility plans contain specifications for the minimum elevation for any opening to each such house. Prior to the issuance of a certificate of occupancy for each of the houses situated on said lots, the Developer shall provide the City with certification from a licensed professional engineer that the lowest opening to each such house is at or above the minimum elevations required on said utility plans. 5. The Developer and the City agree that the Developer shall be responsible for obtaining the City's approval of any changes from the approved utility plans 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 ri withhold the issuance of building permits and/or certificates of occupancy until the City has approved such changes as being acceptable for the safe and efficient delivery of storm drainage water. 6. The Developer and the City agree that because the McClelland's Drainageway (regional channel) has been approved for landscaping different and more intense than the standards of the City, the Developer shall be responsible for the maintenance of said Drainageway. In the event that the Developer fails to maintain said Drainageway to the level required for the landscaping materials proposed for the Drainageway, the City shall take over maintenance and do so at a level equivalent to that required for native landscaping materials. C. Streets. 1. Subject to the conditions of this Agreement, the City agrees to reimburse the Developer for oversizing public street improvements along Timberline Road and Battlecreek Drive for those portions of said street abutting the Property as shown on the approved utility plans. Reimbursement for Timberline Road shall be for oversizing the street from residential standards to arterial standards. Reimbursement for Battlecreek Drive shall be for oversizing the street from residential standards to collector standards. The City shall make reimbursement to the Developer for the aforesaid oversized street improvements in accordance with Section 24-121 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 24-121 (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 2 4 -12 1 (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 24-121 (d). 7 2. It is understood that the streets to be constructed as described in this Section II(D) are "city improvements" 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 Fifteen Thousand Dollars ($15,000), 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. 3. The Developer and the City agree that no building permits shall be issued for lots 1 through 14 of Block 1 and lots 43 through 47, 50 through 52 and 56 of Block 2 (all of which lots are in close proximity to Timberline Road and, accordingly, may be impacted by improvements required on Timberline Road) until (1) the street improvements on Timberline Road have been completed with at least the construction of curb, gutter and sidewalk, and said improvements have been approved by the City; or (2) the design of Timberline Road improvements is completed, approved by the City and it is verified by the City that the construction of the Timberline Road improvements will not require entry upon said lots in order to construct said improvements. 4. The Developer and the City agree that no building permit shall be issued for lot 147 of this development until the City determines that an emergency access easement on said lot is no longer necessary for the Property and said easement has been vacated by the City. 5. The Developer and the City agree that the Developer shall not construct the required street improvements to Timberline Road adjacent to this development until 1996 at the earliest. 6. The Developer and the City agree that the Developer shall complete the construction of the required street improvements to Timberline Road prior to the issuance of any building permits in Phase 2 (Tracts "G" and "J") of this development. 7. In order to guarantee the completion of the Developer's share of the required street improvements to Timberline Road adjacent to Phase 1 of this development, the Developer and the City agree that the Developer shall pay a cash deposit to the City at the time of building permit issuance with each lot in Phase 1. The terms for said deposit are described as follows: (a) The Developer will pay the amount of $1,000 with the issuance of each building permit for each dwelling unit commencing with the first building permit issued in Phase 0 1 and all succeeding building permits in Phase 1. If any portions of said sums are paid by the Developer after the year 1996, the Developer agrees to pay the amount specified above plus an additional amount, to be calculated as described below, to recognize the effects of inflation with said amount to be increased each year until payment is completed in full. (b) The inflation factor (Inf. Fac.) for each year's payments shall be calculated using the construction cost index for Denver as published in the Engineering News Record (ENR) for July, 1996, as the base index (I -base) and the same index published in the ENR for the January in each succeeding year immediately preceding payment (I - year of payment). The formula for calculating said inflation factor shall be as follows: Inf. Fac. = (I -year of payment) -(I -base). (I -base) (c) The amount to be added to each $1,000 payment to compensate for inflation shall be equal to $1,000 times the inflation factor. Said amounts added to compensate for inflation shall not reduce the total (principal) amount due. (d) Upon the completion of said Timberline Road improvements, the amount escrowed by the developer shall be refunded to the Developer less 3% to cover the City's costs to administer the collection and administration of said funds. D. Groundwater. 1. The Developer and the City recognize that the Property is adjacent to the McClelland Drainageway and certain irrigation ditches and that seepage from said ditches may impact the ground water levels in this development. Accordingly, it is agreed that the City shall not be responsible for any damages or injuries sustained in the development as a result of groundwater seepage, whether resulting from groundwater flooding, structural damage or other damage unless such damages or injuries are sustained as a result of the City's failure to properly maintain its storm drainage facilities on the Property. 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 Director of 9
