governmental entities with regulatory jurisdiction over the Subdivision. The Subdivision
Improvements, except for revegetation, shall be completed on or before the end of the first
full year following execution of this SIA (ACompletion Date@), in substantial compliance
3
with the following:
i. Plans marked AApproved for Construction@ for all Subdivision

BOCC on _______________, 201__, such plans being summarized in the list of
drawings attached to and made a part of this SIA by reference as Exhibit AA@; the

attached to and made a part of this SIA by reference as Exhibit AB@, which estimate

ii. All requirements of the Preliminary Plan Approval;
iii. All laws, regulations, orders, resolutions and requirements of the
County and all special districts and any other governmental entity or quasi-
governmental authority with jurisdiction; and
iv. The provisions of this SIA and all other documentation required to be

Plat Documents@).
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this SIA, the timing requirements and criteria
for substantial completion of the Affordable Housing Units shall be as set forth in paragraph 4
below.
b. Satisfaction of Subdivision Improvements Provisions. The BOCC agrees that
if all Subdivision Improvements are constructed and installed in accordance with this
paragraph 2; the record drawings have been submitted upon completion of the Subdivision
Improvements, as detailed in paragraph 3(h), below; and all other requirements of this SIA
4
have been met, then the Owner shall be deemed to have satisfied all terms and conditions of
the Preliminary Plan Approval, the Final Plat Documents and the LUDC, with respect to the
installation of Subdivision Improvements.
3. SECURITY FOR SUBDIVISION IMPROVEMENTS (EXCEPT RE-
VEGETATION).
a. Subdivision Improvements Security and Substitute Collateral. As security for
Owner’s obligation to complete the Subdivision Improvements other than revegetation,
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 AC@ (ASecurity@). 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 "D" (collectively, the "Cost Estimate"). The Security shall be valid for a
minimum of six (6) months beyond the Completion Date (the "Expiration Date").
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
5
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. 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 Community Development
Department of a "Written Request for Partial Release of Security," in the form attached to
and incorporated by this reference as Exhibit "E," accompanied by the Owner's engineer's
stamped certificate of partial 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
6
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 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.
7
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.
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
8
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 LUDC. 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.
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 Community Development Department: 1) record drawings bearing
the stamp of 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 "F", 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:
9
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, 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
10
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.
5. SECURITY FOR REVEGETATION.
a. Revegetation Security and Substitute Collateral. $____________ of the face
amount of the Security, specified in Paragraph 3a above, shall be allocated to revegetation of
disturbed areas within the Subdivision (ARevegetation LOC@), the cost for which is detailed
as a subdivision improvement in Exhibit B. The Revegetation LOC shall be valid for a
minimum of two (2) years following recording of the Final Plat. The BOCC, at its sole
option may permit the Owner to substitute collateral other than a Letter of Credit, in a form
acceptable to the BOCC, for the purpose of securing the completion of revegetation.
b. Revegetation LOC General Provisions. The provisions of paragraphs 3.b.,
3.c. and 3.d., above, dealing with Letter of Credit requirements, extension of expiration
dates, increase in face amounts, plat recording and plat vacating shall apply to the
Revegetation LOC.
c. Revegetation Review and Notice of Deficiency. Upon establishment of
revegetation, the Owner shall request review of the revegetation work by the Garfield
11
County Vegetation Management Department, by telephone or in writing. Such review shall
be for the purpose of verification of success of revegetation and reclamation in accordance
with the Garfield County Weed Management Plan 2000, adopted by Resolution No. 2002-94
and recorded in the Office of the Garfield County Clerk and Recorder as Reception No.
580572, as amended, and the revegetation/reclamation plan titled _____________ and dated
_________________ for the Subdivision submitted [as part of the Final Plat Documents] [for
Preliminary Plan Approval]. If the Vegetation Management Department refuses approval
and provides written notice of deficiency(ies), the Owner shall cure such deficiency(ies) by
further revegetation efforts, approved by the Vegetation Management Department, as such
efforts may be instituted within the two (2) years following recording of the Final Plat.
d. Single Request for Release of Revegetation LOC. Following receipt of
written approval of the Vegetation Management Department, the Owner may request release
of the Revegetation LOC and shall do so by means of submission to the BOCC, through the
Community Development Department, of a Written Request for Release of Revegetation
LOC, in the form attached to and incorporated herein by reference as Exhibit F, along with
certification of completion by the Owner, or Owner’s agent with knowledge, and a copy of
the written approval of the Vegetation Management Department. It is specifically
understood by the Parties that the Revegetation LOC is not subject to successive partial
releases, as authorized in paragraph 3.e., above. Further, the Revegetation LOC and the
BOCC’s associated rights to withdraw funds and bring a court action may survive final
release of the LOC securing other Subdivision Improvements, defined in paragraph 3.a.,
above.
e. BOCC’s Completion of Revegetation and Other Remedies. If Owner’s
revegetation efforts are deemed by the BOCC to be unsuccessful, in the sole opinion of the
12
BOCC upon the recommendation of the Vegetation Management Department, or if the
BOCC determines that the Owner will not or cannot complete revegetation, the BOCC, in its
discretion, may withdraw and employ from the Revegetation LOC such funds as may be
necessary to carry out the revegetation work, up to the face amount of the Revegetation
LOC. In lieu of or in addition to drawing on the Revegetation LOC, the BOCC may bring an
action for injunctive relief or damages for the Owner’s failure to adhere to the provisions of
this SIA related to revegetation. The BOCC shall provide the Owner a reasonable time to
cure any identified deficiency prior to requesting payment from the Revegetation LOC or
filing a civil action.
6. WATER SUPPLY AND WASTEWATER COLLECTION. As stated in
paragraph 13, below, prior to issuance by the BOCC of any certificates of occupancy for any
residences or other habitable structures constructed within the Subdivision, Owner shall install,
connect and make operable a water supply and distribution system for potable 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 appurtenant to the water and wastewater system(s), for
recordation following recording 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 Master Battlement Mesa HOA and/or the Special District(s) by bill of sale. 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.
7. PUBLIC ROADS. All roads within the Subdivision shall be dedicated by the Owner to the
13
public as public rights-of-way and shall be accepted by the BOCC, on behalf of the public, on the
face of the Final Plat. The Homeowner’s Association of the Subdivision 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 BOCC shall not be
obligated to maintain any road rights-of-way within the Subdivision.
8. 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 rights-of-
way for installation and maintenance of utilities. Public utility easements shall be dedicated by the
Owner to the public utilities on the face of the Final Plat, subject to the Garfield County Road and
Right-of-Way Use Regulations, recorded as Reception No. 643477, in the records of the Garfield
County Clerk and Recorder, as amended. The Homeowner’s Association of the Subdivision 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 a utility
company, whether publicly or privately owned, requires conveyance of the easements dedicated on
the face of the Final Plat by separate document, Owner shall execute and record the required
conveyance documents.
9. CONVEYANCE OF OPEN SPACE. The common open space parcel(s) identified
on the Final Plat of the Subdivision shall be conveyed by Owner to the Homeowner’s Association at
the time of Final Plat Approval. Owner shall deposit with the Garfield County Clerk and Recorder
executed original(s) of the instrument(s) of conveyance for recordation following recording of the
Final Plat and this SIA.
10. 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
14
Improvements [including off-site improvements and revegetation] and any other agreement or
obligation of Owner, related to development of the Subdivision, required pursuant to this SIA. The
Owner, however, does not indemnify the BOCC for claims made asserting that the standards
imposed by the BOCC are improper or 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.
11. ROAD IMPACT FEE. Pursuant to the Garfield County subdivision regulations, a
Road Impact fee of _________________ ($___________) has been established for the residential
units within the Subdivision. Owner shall pay fifty percent (50%), i.e., ___________________
($__________) of the Road Impact Fee to the Garfield County Treasurer at or prior to the time of
recording of the Final Plat. The remaining 50%, i.e., __________________ ($__________), will be
collected pro rata (i.e. $_______________) from each lot owner at the time a building permit issues
for a residence within the Subdivision.
12. FEES IN LIEU OF DEDICATION OF SCHOOL LAND. Owner shall make a
cash deposit in lieu of dedicating land to the _____________ School District, calculated in
accordance with the LUDC and the requirements of state law. The Owner and the BOCC
acknowledge and agree that the cash in lieu payment for the Subdivision is calculated as follows: for
Parachute 16 School District, $200.00 per unit.
The Owner, therefore, shall pay to the Garfield County Treasurer, at or prior to the time of
recording of the Final Plat, _______________ ($___________) as a payment in lieu of dedication of
15
land to the ____________________ School District. Said fee shall be transferred by the BOCC to
the school district in accordance with the provisions of '30-28-133, C.R.S., as amended, and the
LUDC.
The Owner agrees that it is obligated to pay the above-stated fee, accepts such obligations,
and waives any claim that Owner is not required to pay the cash in lieu of land dedication fee. The
Owner agrees that Owner will not claim, nor is Owner entitled to claim, subsequent to recording of
the Final Plat of the Subdivision, a reimbursement of the fee in lieu of land dedication to the
_________________ School District.
13. 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.
14. BUILDING PERMITS AND CERTIFICATES OF OCCUPANCY. As one
remedy for breach of this SIA, 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 Grand Valley Fire
Protection District (ADistrict@), if the Fire District has so required, that there is adequate water
available to the construction site for the District’s purposes and all applicable District fees have been
paid to the District. No certificates of occupancy shall issue for any habitable building or structure,
including residences, within the Subdivision until all Subdivision Improvements, except revegetation
have been completed and are operational as required by this SIA.
15. CONSENT TO VACATE PLAT. 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 building permits have been
16
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.
16. ENFORCEMENT. In addition to any rights provided by Colorado statute, the
withholding of building permits and certificates of occupancy, provided for in paragraph 13, above,
the provisions for release of Security, detailed in paragraph 3, above, and the provisions for plat
vacation, detailed in paragraph 14, above, it is mutually agreed by the BOCC and the Owner, that the
BOCC, without making an election of remedies, and any purchaser of any lot within the Subdivision
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.
17. NOTICE BY RECORDATION. This SIA shall be recorded in the Office of the
Garfield County Clerk and Recorder and shall be a covenant running with title to all lots, tracts and
parcels within the Subdivision. Such recording shall constitute notice to prospective purchasers and
other interested persons as to the terms and provisions of this SIA.
18. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. The obligations and rights contained herein shall
be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Owner and the BOCC.

19. CONTRACT ADMINISTRATION AND NOTICE PROVISIONS. The
representatives of the Owner and the BOCC, identified below, are authorized as contract
administrators and notice recipients. Notices required or permitted by this SIA shall be in writing

amendment, including, by way of example, extension of the Completion Date, substitution of the
form of security, or approval of a change in the identity of the security provider/issuer, shall be

security instrument. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties may change the identification of
