WHEREAS, Developer acknowledges that lending institutions may have or claim an

2. CITY SPECIFICATIONS AND TERMS. All improvements and construction under
said districts shall be made pursuant to the specifications of City. All contracts for such
improvements shall be entered into by City and according to the terms and conditions
approved by City.
3. STORMWATER MANAGEMENT. The City has enacted a stolmwater management
ordinance to protect, maintain, and enhance the public health, safety, and general welfare
by establishing minimum requirements and procedures to control the adverse impacts
associated with increased and altered stormwater runoff. Therefore, a Post -Construction
Stormwater Management Plan shall be included in the engineering design contract for the
design and installation of a stormwater management system. The parties hereby
acknowledge and agree that the engineering design contract for the design and installation
of a stormwater management system may call for a storm water management system that
would result in a surface detention basin. The City, at its own election, has elected to
eliminate the need for surface detention basins. It is specifically agreed between the parties
that City shall be 100% responsible for the increased costs associated with the installation
of over -sized stormwater pipes required for stormwater detention and that such increased
costs shall not be assessed to individual lots.
4. ENGINEERING DESIGN COSTS. Developer hereby agrees that City shall not execute
contracts for the design of said improvements until Developer has posted with City a
security bond to cover the entire cost of the engineering design contract fee or Developer
shall deposit a cash sum with City equal to the total cost of the engineering design contract
fee. If Developer proceeds with the improvements and construction under said
Southern Hills Phase One Developer Agreement Page 2 of 6
improvement districts, such security bond or cash payment shall be returned to the
Developer. If the Developer at anytime decides not to proceed with the improvements and
construction under said districts as specified in this agreement, the security bond or cash
payment shall be forfeited to the City for its costs and expenses incurred.
5. CONSTRUCTION AND CONSTRUCTION ENGINEERING COSTS. Developer
hereby agrees to pay zero percent (0%) of all construction and construction engineering
costs attributed to such districts that benefit his/her subdivision.
6. ACTUAL CONSTRUCTION COSTS. It is specifically agreed between the parties that

contracts, a sum equal to zero percent (0%) of the actual construction cost. Actual
construction cost includes the cost of construction engineering services, geotechnical
services and the total contract price for all improvements including any change orders
approved by the City from time to time. In the event any change orders are submitted to
City for approval, the Developer will be notified by the City if such change orders to the
construction contract(s) are required. The remaining one hundred percent (100%) of the
actual construction cost shall be paid by City to the contractors and assessed as set forth
below.
7. SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS. City shall specially assess the special assessment portion of
the actual construction and engineering costs against the property owned by developer and

completed by the projects engineer and approved by the City and the Developer. All
specially assessed costs shall be assessed on a per lot basis equally divided based on the
Southern Hills Phase One Developer Agreement Page 3 of 6
number of lots contained in Phase One. The City shall levy such special assessments within
one hundred and twenty (120) days from the date that engineer certifies the completion of
