following remedies, or any other remedy available in law or equity.
2.1 Access and Use of Collateral. County may access and use collateral to address the issues
specific to the violation. For example, the County may access and use Project Collateral in order to
complete improvements as required by the Construction Plans, when such improvements have not
been completed in accordance with the Construction Schedule.
2.2. Withholding Permits. County may "lock" any or all lots within the Property, which
precludes the continued issuance of building permits, zoning permits, septic permits, or any other
permit issued by any department of the County.
2.3 Court Action. County may seek relief in law or equity by filing an action in the Weld
District Court or Federal District Court for the District of Colorado, except that no such civil action
or order shall be necessary to access collateral for the purpose of completing improvements as
described above.

of this Agreement constitutes cause to revoke the USR, and County may exercise this option in its
sole discretion by proceeding with revocation under the then current provisions of the Weld County
Code.
3.0 Termination of Agreement. This Agreement shall terminate upon the earliest of the following
events:
3.1 Failure to Commence. County may terminate this Agreement upon or after revocation of
the underlying land use approval under Weld County Code section 23-2-290. However, County
may still exercise all necessary activities under this Agreement that the County determines
necessary to protect the health, safety, and welfare of the residents of Weld County.
3.2 Cessation of all Permit Related Activities. Termination of this Agreement shall occur upon
Operator's complete cessation of all activities permitted by the USR including any clean up or
restoration required. A partial cessation of activities shall not constitute a Termination of this
Agreement, nor shall County's issuance of a partial release/vacation constitute a Termination.
Unless informed in writing by Operator of cessation of activities, and verified by the County,
cessation shall only be presumed if the County determines that the USR has been inactive for three
(3) years. Operator shall not be entitled to a release of Project or Warranty Collateral unless and
until the improvements required by this Agreement are completed.
3.3 Execution of Replacement Agreement. This Agreement shall terminate following County's
execution of a new Improvements Agreement with a new operator who has purchased the Property
or has assumed the operation of the business permitted by the USR, and intends to make use of the
rights and privileges available to it through the then existing USR.
3.4 Revocation of USR. This Agreement shall terminate following County's revocation of
Operator's USR, except that Operator shall only be released from this Agreement after the
successful completion of all improvements required under this Agreement, which may be
completed by County after accessing Operator's collateral if Operator fails to complete such
improvements.

OK, so based on Frank's direction — the three that have already received Board approval and have either been signed or
signed and recorded are going to remain as is. Frank is confident the reso trumps the IA and we can put those behind us.
None of them have exhibits.
For the three that have to go on the Agenda, I will rewrite them with the agreed upon revisions and with Evan's input
and then resend to the applicant for signature and then we can move forward with those. None of these have exhibits
either.
On base - #2096 can go to recording if you have the plat.
#2078 and 2079 can go back in the file room
I will rewrite #s 2167, 2225 and 2188 — none of which have exhibits.
Let me know if you have any questions.

If we have an IA for the construction period only, then we need to make sure that we indicate that on the improvements
agreement. I think we ought to use the pipeline template for those that are only during construction. We need to make
sure that the board specifically directed staff to do the IA for the construction period only. For those that are recorded
already, I think we just leave them alone and move on. For ones that aren't recorded, we should figure out whether
there are exhibits or not, and then correct them, and if they are for construction only, we should indicate that also. Let
me know if that makes sense or if you want to discuss it further, thanks.

Hi Frank,
Several of the lAs that we discussed in our meeting over at CTB are supposed to only be for the construction period only,
so of course there are no exhibits, but it raises the bigger question of the template. Evan told me that Elizabeth would
prefer full agreements for anything that is commercial, however the resolution clearly states for the construction period
only...??? And that is what was signed by the Board. I am a little confused how to move forward in situations like these. I
am attaching both templates which have not been revised yet, as I just reviewed my suggested amendments with both
you and Dawn for the big one and received the ok yesterday to update it... but the gist remains the same for both. The
pipeline agreement is basically construction period only, and the other is the full agreement.
Question #2.... Should we decide to use the temporary language to match the reso, do you want to add the right to
amend/modify subsection maybe to be determined upon final inspection to address the possibility of a future full
agreement being needed or do we not address that until/if they come in with an amended USR application — then we
amend or create a full agreement?
Please advise.
