SECURITY FOR SUBDIVISION IMPROVEMENTS. a. Subdivision Improvements Security and Substitute Collateral. As security for Owner's obligation to complete the Subdivision Improvements, Owner shall deliver to the BOCC, on or before the date of recording of the Final Plat of the Subdivision, a form of security deemed adequate by the BOCC and payable to the County, attached to and incorporated in this SIA by reference as Exhibit "D" ("Security"). The Security shall be in an amount equal to the estimate of the cost to complete the Subdivision Improvements, plus an additional ten percent (10%) of the total for contingencies, as set forth and certified by Owner's professional engineer licensed in the State of Colorado on the attached Exhibit "E" (collectively, the "Cost Estimate"). The Security shall be valid for a minimum of three (3) months beyond the Completion Date (the "Expiration Date"). Notwithstanding the foregoing and anything to the contrary contained in this SIA, the costs associated with the Third Party Improvements shall not be included in the Cost Estimate; the Parties acknowledge and agree that construction of the Third Party Improvements is otherwise secured pursuant to a valid agreement(s) with a third-party services provider(s), governmental entity(ies), or 13738\1\1469801.4 1/10/11 04:04 PM 5 quasi-governmental entity(ies) having jurisdiction over such improvements. b. Security Requirements and Plat Recording. The Final Plat of the Subdivision shall not be recorded until the Security has been received by the County and approved by the BOCC. c. Extension of Expiration Date. If the Completion Date is extended by a written amendment to this SIA, the time period for the validity of the Security shall be similarly extended by the Owner. For each individual extension that is in excess of six (6) months, at the sole option of the BOCC, the cost of completion of the remaining Subdivision Improvements shall be subject to re-certification by Owner's engineer and review by the BOCC. To the extent the cost of completion of the Subdivision Improvements, plus an additional ten percent (10%) of such cost for contingencies, differs from the face amount of the remaining Security, the amount of such Security shall be adjusted upwards or downwards, as appropriate. d. Unenforceable Security. Subject to paragraph 12 below, should the Security expire or become void or unenforceable for any reason prior to the BOCC's approval of Owner's engineer's certification of completion of the Subdivision Improvements or, with regard to the Affordable Housing Units, prior to the issuance of a certificate of occupancy for the last Affordable Housing Unit required per this SIA, including bankruptcy of the Owner or the financial institution issuing or confirming the Security, this SIA shall be voidable by action of the BOCC and, upon such action, this SIA shall be of no further force and effect and the Final Plat shall be vacated pursuant to the terms of this SIA. e. Partial Releases of Security. Owner may request partial releases of the Security, and shall do so by means of submission to the Building and Planning Department of a "Written Request for Partial Release of Security", in the form attached to and incorporated by this reference as Exhibit "F," accompanied by the Owner's engineer's stamped certificate of partial 13738\1\1469801.4 1/10/11 04:04 PM 6 completion of improvements. The Owner's engineer's seal shall certify that the Subdivision Improvements have been constructed in accordance with the requirements of this SIA, including all Final Plat Documents and the applicable provisions of the Preliminary Plan. The BOCC shall authorize successive releases of portions of the face amount of the Security as portions of the Subdivision Improvements are certified as complete in the manner set forth in this subparagraph 3.e and to the satisfaction of the BOCC. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this SIA, including, without limitation, the BOCC's rights of investigation established by this paragraph 3, upon the issuance of a certificate of occupancy for any Affordable Housing Unit required to be constructed on a lot identified on the Final Plat, the County shall, within ten (10) business days of receipt of Owner's Written Request for Partial Release of Security, release the Security attributable to such Affordable Housing Unit, including the ten percent (10%) contingency amount attributable thereto. f. BOCC's Investigation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon submission of the Owner's Written Request for Partial Release of Security, along with Owner's engineer's certificate of partial completion of improvements, the BOCC may review the certification and the Preliminary Plan, and may inspect and review the Subdivision Improvements certified as complete to determine whether or not they have been constructed in compliance with relevant specifications, as follows: i. If no letter of potential deficiency or determination that applicable requirements of the Preliminary Plan have not been satisfied is furnished to Owner by the BOCC within fifteen (15) business days of submission of Owner's Written Request for Partial Release of Security, accompanied by Owner's engineer's certificate of partial completion of improvements, all Subdivision Improvements certified as complete shall be 13738\1\1469801.4 1/10/11 04:04 PM 7 deemed approved by the BOCC, and the BOCC shall, within ten (10) business days of such improvements being deemed complete, release the appropriate amount of Security. ii. If the BOCC chooses to inspect and determines that all or a portion of the Subdivision Improvements certified as complete are not in compliance with the relevant specifications or that applicable requirements of the Preliminary Plan have not been met, the BOCC shall furnish a letter of potential deficiency to the Owner, within fifteen (15) business days of submission of Owner's Written Request for Partial Release of Security. iii. If a letter of potential deficiency is issued identifying a portion of the certified Subdivision Improvements as potentially deficient and there are no outstanding requirements of the Preliminary Plan that are applicable to the subject improvements, then all Subdivision Improvements not identified as potentially deficient shall be deemed approved by the BOCC, and the BOCC shall authorize release of the amount of Security related to the Subdivision Improvements certified as complete and not identified as potentially deficient. iv. With respect to Subdivision Improvements identified as potentially deficient in a letter of potential deficiency or as not meeting all applicable requirements of the Preliminary Plan, the BOCC shall have fifteen (15) business days from the date of the letter to complete the initial investigation, begun under subparagraph 3.f.ii. above, and provide written confirmation of the deficiency(ies) to the Owner. v. If the BOCC finds that the Subdivision Improvements are complete and in compliance with the relevant specifications and that all applicable requirements of the Preliminary Plan have been met, then the appropriate amount of Security shall be released within ten (10) business days after completion of such investigation. 13738\1\1469801.4 1/10/11 04:04 PM 8 g. BOCC Completion of Improvements and Other Remedies. If the BOCC finds, within the fifteen (15) day period of time defined in subparagraph 3.f.iv. above, that the Subdivision Improvements are not complete, or if the BOCC determines that the Owner will not or cannot construct any or all of the Subdivision Improvements (whether or not Owner has submitted a written request for release of Security), or that applicable requirements of the Preliminary Plan will not or cannot be met, the BOCC may withdraw and employ from the Security such funds as may be necessary to construct the Subdivision Improvements in accordance with the specifications or to satisfy the Preliminary Plan requirements applicable to the Subdivision, up to the remaining face amount of the Security. In such event, the BOCC shall make a written finding regarding Owner's failure to comply with this SIA or applicable requirements of the Preliminary Plan prior to requesting payment from the Security, in accordance with the provisions of Section 13-106 of the LUR; provided, however, that the BOCC may initiate the forfeiture procedures set forth in Section 13-106 of the LUR only after complying with paragraph 12 of this SIA . In lieu of or in addition to drawing on the Security, the BOCC may bring an action for injunctive relief or damages for the Owner's failure to adhere to the provisions of this SIA regarding Subdivision Improvements and satisfaction of requirements of the Preliminary Plan applicable to this Subdivision. The BOCC shall provide the Owner an opportunity to cure any identified deficiency(ies) or violations of the Preliminary Plan or Final Plat Documents, as set forth in paragraph 12 below, prior to requesting payment from the Security, including initiating the foreclosure proceedings set forth in Section 13- 106 of the LUR, or filing a civil action. h. Final Release of Security. Upon completion of all Subdivision Improvements and requirements of the Preliminary Plan applicable to the Subdivision, Owner shall submit to the BOCC, through the Building and Planning Department: 1) record drawings bearing the stamp of 13738\1\1469801.4 1/10/11 04:04 PM 9 Owner's engineer certifying that all Subdivision Improvements, including off-site improvements within the jurisdiction of the County, have been constructed in accordance with the requirements of this SIA, including all Final Plat Documents and applicable requirements of the Preliminary Plan, in hard copy and digital format acceptable to the BOCC; 2) copies of instruments conveying real property and other interests which Owner is obligated to convey to the property owners' association of the Subdivision (the "POA") or any statutory special district or other entity; and 3) a Written Request for Final Release of Security, in the form attached to and incorporated herein as Exhibit "G", along with Owner's engineer's stamp and certificate of final completion of the Subdivision Improvements. Upon receipt of the foregoing, the BOCC shall take the following action: i. The BOCC shall authorize a final release of the Security after the Subdivision Improvements are certified as final to the BOCC by the Owner's engineer and said final certification is approved by the BOCC. If the BOCC finds that the Subdivision Improvements are complete, in accordance with the relevant specifications, and that all requirements of the Preliminary Plan applicable to the Subdivision have been satisfied, the BOCC shall release the final amount of the Security within ten (10) business days following submission of the Owner's Written Request for Final Release of Security accompanied by the other documents required by this paragraph 3.h. ii. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon Owner's Written Request for Final Release of Security, accompanied by Owner's engineer's certificate of final completion of improvements, the BOCC may inspect and review the Subdivision Improvements certified as complete. If the BOCC does so review and inspect, the process contained in paragraph 3.f. above, shall be followed. If, following such inspection, the BOCC finds that the Subdivision Improvements are complete, in accordance with the relevant specifications, 13738\1\1469801.4 1/10/11 04:04 PM 10 and that all requirements of the Preliminary Plan applicable to the Subdivision have been satisfied, the BOCC shall release the final amount of the Security within ten (10) days after completion of such investigation. iii. If, following the inspection contained in paragraph 3.f, the BOCC finds that the Subdivision Improvements are not complete, in accordance with the relevant specifications, and/or that requirements of the Preliminary Plan applicable to the Subdivision have not been satisfied, the BOCC may complete the remaining Subdivision Improvements and satisfy the applicable requirements of the Preliminary Plan, or institute court action in accordance with the process outlined in paragraph 3.g. above; provided, however, that such action may only be taken by the BOCC if the BOCC determines in its reasonable discretion that the subject Subdivision Improvements will not or cannot be satisfactorily completed on or before the Completion Date and, provided further, that the BOCC shall provide Owner an opportunity to cure any identified deficiency(ies) or violations, as set forth in paragraph 12 below, prior to initiating any of the self-help remedies described herein, including, without limitation, commencing work on the Subdivision Improvements, requesting payment from the Security, initiating the foreclosure proceedings set forth in Section 13-106 of the LUR, or filing a civil action. 4. AFFORDABLE HOUSING. In accordance with the requirements of Article VIII of the LUR, Owner has agreed to provide [___] deed-restricted affordable for-sale housing ("Affordable Housing Units") within the Subdivision as part of the Project as specifically provided in the affordable housing agreement attached hereto as Exhibit "H" (the "Affordable Housing Agreement"). As provided in the Affordable Housing Agreement, Owner shall not be required to construct any individual Affordable Housing Unit(s) until a buyer for such Affordable Housing Unit 13738\1\1469801.4 1/10/11 04:04 PM 11 has been qualified by the Garfield County Housing Authority ("GCHA") in accordance with the Affordable Housing Agreement. Pursuant to the Affordable Housing Agreement, if Owner defers construction of the Affordable Housing Units, upon Owner's receipt of notice from GCHA that a buyer has been qualified to purchase an Affordable Housing Unit (the "Purchase Notice"), Owner shall promptly commence construction of an Affordable Housing Unit and shall deliver a completed Affordable Housing Unit to the qualified buyer on or before one-hundred and twenty (120) days from Owner's receipt of the Purchase Notice; provided, however, that if Owner receives a Purchase Notice on or between October 15th and April 1st of any year, Owner shall be required to deliver a completed Affordable Housing Unit to the purchaser on or before the next-occurring August 1. As provided in subparagraph 3.e above, upon the issuance of a certificate of occupancy for any Affordable Housing Unit required to be constructed on a lot identified on the Final Plat, the County shall, within ten (10) business days of receipt of Owner's Written Request for Partial Release of Security, release the Security attributable to such Affordable Housing Unit, including the ten percent (10%) contingency amount attributable thereto. In the event Owner completes construction of, and receives certificates of occupancy for, all of the market rate units within the Final Plat prior to completion of construction of the Affordable Housing Units required to be constructed as part of such Final Plat, the BOCC may, but shall not be required to, withdraw and employ from the Security such funds as may be necessary to construct the Affordable Units in accordance with the requirements of this SIA and the Affordable Housing Agreement, up to the remaining face amount of the Security. 5. WATER SUPPLY AND WASTEWATER COLLECTION. Prior to issuance by the BOCC of any certificates of occupancy for any residences or other habitable structures constructed within the Subdivision, Owner shall cause to be installed, connected and made operable 13738\1\1469801.4 1/10/11 04:04 PM 12 a water supply and distribution system for potable water, fire protection, non-potable irrigation water, and a wastewater/sewer collection system, in accordance with approved plans and specifications. All easements and rights-of-way necessary for installation, operation, service and maintenance of such water supply and distribution system(s) and wastewater collection system shall be as shown on the Final Plat. Owner shall deposit with the Garfield County Clerk and Recorder executed originals of the instruments of conveyance for easements, if any, appurtenant to the water and wastewater system(s), for recordation following recording of the Final Plat and this SIA. Immediately following the recordation of the Final Plat and this SIA, all facilities and equipment contained within the water supply and wastewater collection system(s) shall be transferred by Owner to the POA or any statutory special district, as appropriate. If a third party water or sewer service entity requires warranty of the system(s), Owner shall provide proof to the BOCC that such warranty is in effect and, if necessary, has been assigned. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this SIA shall not be construed as prohibiting the Owner or the POA from transferring ownership of the water supply and distribution system(s) and/or wastewater collection system, and/or transferring or assigning the responsibility for maintaining and operating such system(s) to another entity, including any special district or metropolitan district formed in accordance with Colorado law, which is willing to accept and assume the same. 6. PRIVATE ROADS. All roads within the Subdivision shall be private. Unless and until such time as the ownership of the roads and/or maintenance responsibility for the roads are transferred to another entity, including any special district or metropolitan district formed in accordance with Colorado law, the POA shall be solely responsible for the maintenance, repair and upkeep of said rights-of-way, including the traveled surface of the roadways and portions of the rights-of-way outside of the traveled surface. The County shall not be obligated to maintain any 13738\1\1469801.4 1/10/11 04:04 PM 13 roads within the Subdivision. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this SIA shall not be construed as prohibiting the Owner or the POA from transferring ownership of said rights-of-way and/or transferring or assigning the responsibility for maintaining and operating such rights-of-way to any entity, including any special district or metropolitan district formed in accordance with Colorado law, which is willing to accept and assume the same. 7. PUBLIC UTILITY RIGHTS-OF-WAY. Whether or not utility easements exist elsewhere in the Subdivision, all road rights-of-way within the Subdivision shall contain easements for installation and maintenance of utilities. Public utility easements shall be depicted on the face of the Final Plat. The POA shall be solely responsible for the maintenance, repair and upkeep of said public utility easements, unless otherwise agreed to with the public utility company(ies). The BOCC shall not be obligated for the maintenance, repair and upkeep of any utility easement within the Subdivision. In the event any utility provider, whether publicly or privately owned, requires conveyance of the easements depicted on the Final Plat by separate document, Owner shall execute and record the required conveyance documents. 8. CONVEYANCE OF OPEN SPACE. The common open space parcel(s) identified on and located within the Final Plat of the Subdivision shall be conveyed by Owner to the POA at the time of Final Plat Approval; provided, however, that Owner shall not be required to convey to the POA common open space(s) in an amount in excess of the amount sufficient to support such Final Plat as provided in the Development Agreement River Edge Colorado Planned Unit Development, recorded at Reception No. _____________ in the records of the Garfield County Clerk and Recorder. Owner shall deposit with the Garfield County Clerk and Recorder an executed original(s) of the instrument(s) of conveyance for recordation following recording of the Final Plat and this SIA. 13738\1\1469801.4 1/10/11 04:04 PM 14 9. INDEMNITY. The Owner shall indemnify and hold the BOCC harmless and defend the BOCC from all claims which may arise as a result of the Owner's installation of the Subdivision Improvements and the Third Party Improvements. The Owner, however, does not indemnify the BOCC for claims made asserting that the standards imposed by the BOCC are improper or are the cause of the injury asserted, or from claims which may arise from the negligent acts or omissions of the BOCC or its employees. The BOCC shall notify the Owner of receipt by the BOCC of a notice of claim or a notice of intent to sue, and the BOCC shall afford the Owner the option of defending any such claim or action. Failure to notify and provide such written option to the Owner shall extinguish the BOCC's rights under this paragraph. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to constitute a waiver of governmental immunity granted to the BOCC by Colorado statutes and case law. 10. FEES IN LIEU OF DEDICATION OF SCHOOL LAND. Owner shall dedicate land or make a cash deposit in lieu of dedicating land to the Roaring Fork School District RE-1 (the "School District"), in accordance with the LUR and the requirements of state law. 11. SALE OF LOTS. No lots, tracts, or parcels within the Subdivision may be separately conveyed prior to recording of the Final Plat in the records of the Garfield County Clerk and Recorder. 12. BREACH OR DEFAULT OF OWNER. A "breach" or "default" by Owner under this SIA shall be defined as Owner's failure to fulfill or perform any material obligation of Owner contained in this SIA. In the event of a breach or default by Owner under this SIA, the County shall deliver written notice to Owner of such default, at the address specified in paragraph 19 below, and Owner shall have sixty (60) days from and after receipt of such notice to cure such default. If such default is not of a type that can be cured within such 60-day period and Owner gives written notice 13738\1\1469801.4 1/10/11 04:04 PM 15 to the County within such 60-day period that it is actively and diligently pursuing such cure, Owner shall have a reasonable period of time given the nature of the default following the end of such 60-day period to cure such default, provided that Owner is at all times within such additional time period actively and diligently pursuing such cure. 13. BREACH OR DEFAULT OF COUNTY. A "breach" or "default" by the County under this SIA shall be defined as the County's failure to fulfill or perform any material obligation of the County contained in this SIA. In the event of a breach or default by the County under this SIA, Owner shall have the right to pursue any administrative, legal, or equitable remedy to which it may by entitled. 14. BUILDING PERMITS AND CERTIFICATES OF OCCUPANCY. Subject to paragraph 12 above, as one remedy for breach of this SIA, including failure to satisfy requirements of the Preliminary Plan applicable to the Subdivision, the BOCC may withhold issuance of building permits for any residence or other habitable structure to be constructed within the Subdivision. Further, no building permit shall be issued unless the Owner demonstrates to the satisfaction of the Carbondale and Rural Fire Protection District ("Fire District"), if the Fire District has so required, that there is adequate water available to the construction site for the Fire District's purposes and all applicable Fire District fees have been paid to the Fire District. No certificates of occupancy shall issue for any habitable building or structure, including residences, within the Subdivision until all Subdivision Improvements have been completed and are operational and all requirements of the Preliminary Plan applicable to the Subdivision have been satisfied as required by this SIA. 15. CONSENT TO VACATE PLAT. Subject to paragraph 12 above, in the event the Owner fails to comply with the terms of this SIA, the BOCC shall have the ability to vacate the Final Plat as it pertains to any lots for which building permits have not been issued. As to lots for which 13738\1\1469801.4 1/10/11 04:04 PM 16 building permits have been issued, the Plat shall not be vacated and shall remain valid. In such event, the Owner shall provide the BOCC a plat, suitable for recording, showing the location by surveyed legal description of any portion of the Final Plat so vacated by action of the BOCC. If such a plat is not signed by the BOCC and recorded, or if such plat is not provided by the Owner, the BOCC may vacate the Final Plat, or portions thereof, by resolution. It is specifically agreed that this paragraph 15 applies to the Subdivision as a multi-phased project and, therefore, in the event the BOCC vacates the Final Plat as to the Subdivision that is the subject of this SIA, the BOCC may also withhold approval of a proposed final plat for a future phase, if the Subdivision Improvements and requirements of the Preliminary Plan applicable to the Subdivision are not completely installed and operable or otherwise satisfied. 16. ENFORCEMENT. Subject to paragraph 12 above, in addition to any rights provided by Colorado statute, the withholding of building permits and certificates of occupancy, provided for in paragraph 14 above, the provisions for release of Security, detailed in paragraph 3 above, and the provisions for plat vacation, detailed in paragraph 15 above, it is mutually agreed by the BOCC and the Owner, that the BOCC, without making an election of remedies, shall have the authority to bring an action in the Garfield County District Court to compel enforcement of this SIA. Nothing in this SIA, however, shall be interpreted to require the BOCC to bring an action for enforcement or to withhold permits or certificates or to withdraw unused Security or to vacate the Final Plat or a portion thereof, nor shall this paragraph or any other provision of this SIA be interpreted to permit the purchaser of a lot to file an action against the BOCC. In addition, the BOCC may, but shall not be required to, pursue any of its enforcement remedies as applicable, pursuant to Article XII of the LUR. 17. NOTICE BY RECORDATION. This SIA shall be recorded in the Office of the 13738\1\1469801.4 1/10/11 04:04 PM 17 Garfield County Clerk and Recorder and shall be a covenant running with title to all lots, tracts and parcels within the Subdivision.
