cash escrow, (2) Letters of Credit, or (3) performance bond and payment bond,
guaranteeing and agreeing to pay an amount equal to 100% of the value of the

The Developer hereby agrees to advise the Director of Public Works as soon
as possible when any physical modifications to the alignment of public

B. ON -SITE WATER
The Developer hereby agrees to install water facilities to serve all lots shown on
the final plat of the Addition in accordance with plans and specifications to be
prepared by the Developer's engineer and released by the City for construction
and in accordance with Ordinance No. 170, as amended, and any other local,
state and federal regulations. The Developer shall be responsible for all

The Developer agrees to keep the streets and storm drain systems (MS4) free
from soil build-up by using soil control measures, such as those included in the
NCTCOG STANDARD SPECIFICATIONS FOR PUBLIC WORKS
CONSTRUCTION, Division 1000 EROSION AND SEDIMENT CONTROL to
prevent soil erosion. It will be the Developer's responsibility to present to the
Director of Public Works a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP)
and/or erosion control plan that will be implemented for this Addition. When in
the opinion of the Director of Public Works there is sufficient soil build-up on the
streets or other drainage areas and notification has been given to the Developer,
the Developer will have seventy-two (72) hours to clear the soil from the affected
areas. If the Developer does not remove the soil from the affected areas within
72 hours, the City may remove the soil build-up either by contract or by City
forces and place the soil within the Addition at the Developer's expense. All
expenses must be paid to the City prior to acceptance of the Addition.
Developer or its contractors must commence final stabilization of any disturbed
areas immediately after completion of all soil disturbing activities. The TDPDES
General Permit No. TXR150000 defines final stabilization as when all soil -
disturbing activities at the site have been completed and a uniform (i.e., evenly
Page 6 of 17 2013 Revision
distributed, without large bare areas) perennial vegetative cover with a density of
at least 70% of the native background vegetative cover for the area has been
ESTABLISHED on ALL unpaved areas and areas not covered by permanent
structures, or equivalent permanent stabilization measures (such as the use of
riprap, gabions, or geotextiles) have been employed.
Where construction activity on a portion of the site has temporarily ceased, and
earth disturbing activities will be resumed within 21 days, temporary erosion
control and stabilization measures are not required on that portion of the site,
except as provided below. Erosion control and stabilization measures must be
initiated as soon as practicable in semi -arid areas and areas experiencing
droughts by the 14th day after construction activity.
After final stabilization has been established on all disturbed areas of the Addition
and all permanent erosion control measures have been installed and working
effectively, the Developer shall request final acceptance of the project to the
Director of Public Works. Inspection of the site will be required to ensure that the
erosion control plan has been properly installed and the permanent erosion
control measures will prevent soil erosion from the newly created lots from
washing into the street right-of-way, drainage -way or other private property.
F. USE OF PUBLIC RIGHT OF WAY
It is agreed by and between the City and Developer that the Developer may
provide unique amenities within public right-of-way, such as landscaping,
irrigation, lighting, patterned concrete, etc., for the enhancement of the Addition.
The Developer agrees to maintain these amenities until such responsibility is
turned over to a homeowners association. The Developer and his successors
and assigns understand that the City shall not be responsible for the replacement
of these amenities under any circumstances and further agrees to indemnify and
hold harmless the City from any and all damages, loss or liability of any kind
whatsoever by reason of injury to property or third person occasioned by its use
of the public with regard to these improvements and the Developer shall, at his
own cost and expense, defend and protect the City against all such claims and
demands.

incorporate a number of unique amenities and aesthetic improvements in
common areas of the Addition such as ponds, aesthetic lakes, unique

facilities. The Developer shall be responsible for the construction and
maintenance of all such aesthetic or specialty items such as walls, vegetation,
signage, landscaping, street furniture, pond and lake improvements until such

Such approval shall not be deemed to be an assumption of such
responsibility and liability by the City for any defect in the design and
specifications prepared by the consulting engineer, his officers, agents,
servants or employees, it being the intent of the parties that approval by the
Director of Public Works signifies the City's approval on only the general

Letters of Credit, or other security provided by Developer and complete such
work at Developer's expense, provided however, that if the construction under

agree to renew the Agreement with such renewed Agreement to be in
compliance with the City policies in effect at that time.

1. The purchase of tangible personal property, other than machinery or
equipment and its accessories, repair, and replacement parts, for use in

IV. OTHER ISSUES
A. DOWN STREAM CRITICAL STRUCTURE FEE
This development drains into Critical Drainage Structures #8 and #20
and requires a fee to be paid prior to beginning construction =
$1,769.29.
i. 3.388 acre in #8 * $479.34/ac = $1,624.00
ii. 0.678 acre in #20 * $214.29/ac = $145.29
B. PARK FEES
Residential developments must provide dedicated parks and/or open space
at a ratio of one (1) acre of park land for every forty (40) dwelling units =
0.025acre x 8 = 0.20 acres. In lieu of land dedication, residential park
dedication fees in the amount of $3000 per lot or dwelling unit x 8 new
dwelling units = $24,000.00 will be required. Developer has park credits in
the amount of $508,200 from the Cliffs at Clariden Ranch Development and
the Winding Creek Phase I Development. The developer will use a portion
of these park credits towards the park fees due leaving a park credit
balance of $484,200. Maintenance of the open space shall be the
responsibility of the HOA in perpetuity, including irrigation installation,
maintenance, and water costs. Park dedication credits are not
transferrable to other developers. In addition, the developer shall
complete all common area public pathways consistent with approved site
plan and City of Southlake Master Pathways Plan. All pathways must
