Until urbanization takes place the petitioners intend to maintain their properties in their current uses, which uses are acceptable to the Town of Berthoud. 10. The Petitioners have submitted the petition with the intention that the property will be developed in accordance with Berthoud’s Development Code, Comprehensive Plan, Municipal Code, resolutions and ordinances. 11.The Petitioners are aware that Berthoud has enacted fees and policies with the intention that growth should pay its own way and that growth should improve the health, safety and welfare of its citizens. Examples of Berthoud’s fees which are acceptable to the petitioners include fees for: building, electric, construction meter, plan review, building permit administration, parks, trails and open space, public facilities infrastructure, streets, drainage, police facility infrastructure, general administration facility infrastructure, water administration, water meter, water tap, sewer tap, raw water, and other supplemental fees as appropriate. 12.

The Petitioners agree to dedicate, with the subdivision of the Property and at no cost to the Town, all required easements and right-of-way for installation and maintenance of infrastructure. 15. The Petitioners agree to design and install transportation infrastructure, utility infrastructure, and stormwater improvements to serve the Property prior to the issuance of any building permits for all or any portion of the property in accordance with Town standards. The Petitioners shall make such other improvements as required by Town ordinances and resolutions, to guarantee construction of all required improvements, and, if requested by Berthoud, to dedicate to Berthoud any or all other required improvements.

Water rights may be conveyed on a pro-rata basis as building permits are issued. 22. Berthoud has various enterprise funds through which the utilities provided by Berthoud are financed. Examples of Berthoud’s services are its water, wastewater and drainage utilities. Berthoud’s Board of Trustees believe that the provision of utilities by Berthoud assists in complying with the Berthoud Comprehensive Plan and Berthoud Development Code and the petitioners request that Berthoud provide all utility services which are available now or in the future through Berthoud at a cost comparable to that which can be provided by any third party. 23. The Petitioners understand that the R2-J School District forms an integral part of the Berthoud community. Berthoud has enacted fees to support the acquisition of land by this School District.

EXHIBIT B — HAWORTH ESTATES ANNEXATION MAP SUPPLEMENT TO PETITION FOR ANNEXATION The undersigned petitioners are requesting annexation by the Town of Berthoud of property of which they are 100% owners. The petitioners have submitted the petition with the intention that the property will be developed in accordance with Berthoud’s Development Code, Comprehensive Plan, Municipal Code, resolutions and ordinances. Section 1 – Capital Investment Fee The petitioners are aware that Berthoud has enacted fees and policies with the intention that growth should pay its own way and should improve the health, safety and welfare of its citizens. Examples of Berthoud’s fees, which are acceptable to the petitioners, include capital investment fees such as the water dedication fee, water system investment fee, wastewater system investment fee, parkland dedication fee, parkland development fee, public facilities fee and density transfer fee. Section 2 – Enterprises Berthoud has various enterprise funds through which the utilities provided by Berthoud are financed. Examples of services provided by Berthoud’s enterprises are its water, wastewater and drainage utilities. Berthoud’s Utility Board and the Board of Trustees believe that the provision of utilities by Berthoud assists in complying with the Comprehensive Plan and Development Code and the petitioners request that Berthoud provide all utility services which are available now or in the future through Berthoud at a cost comparable to that which can be provided by any third party. Section 3 – Development Rate Berthoud’s Development Code requires that as a condition of approval for any subdivision a development agreement is executed which contains specific limitations on the rate at which the development can proceed. The petitioners understand that the growth of Berthoud is limited by the Comprehensive Plan and agree to comply with these limitations. Section 4 – Open Space, Parks, Setbacks and Trails Berthoud’s citizens and its Board of Trustees have determined that open space and agriculture add to the community and have implemented sales taxes and fees to financially support trails, parks, open space and agriculture. The petitioners agree to provide land for increased setbacks, easements and/or rights-of-way for and along major arterials and for trails and open space. To the extent these setbacks, easements and/or rights-of-way improve the quality of the property being annexed and are of a benefit to the Berthoud community, the petitioners hereby commit to providing land for these purposes. Section 5 – R2-J School District Site Acquisition The Thompson R2-J School District forms an integral part of the Berthoud community and Berthoud has adopted an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) with the District to collect fees in-lieu of dedication or land dedication to support the acquisition of land by this School District. The petitioners are aware of these fees or land dedication requirements and agree to support the District’s land acquisition program. Section 6 – Annexation Impact Report Berthoud is required to prepare and file an annexation impact report. The petitioners have prepared an annexation impact report and provided it to Berthoud for review and consideration six (6) weeks prior to the hearing. Section 7 – Overall Development Plan (ODP) The petitioners will file site-specific development plans with the Town of Berthoud for review and consideration, following the approval the annexation, rezoning and overall development plan (ODP). The petitioner recognizes that vested rights do not occur until the time of final development plan (FDP) approval. In the event that the applicant pursues de-annexation prior to final development plan (FDP) approval, the Town agrees that it will cooperate with this request. The petitioners intend that this supplement be attached to their Petition for Annexation and presented to the Board of Trustees for consideration in conjunction with the annexation.
