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.

Pursuant to Paragraph 3 of Garfield County Resolution 98- 30, the Preliminary Plan Approval, the BOCC has established a Road Impact fee of Two Hundred and No/100ths Dollars ($200.00) for each lot within the Subdivision.

Therefore, Owner shall pay Two Hundred and No/100ths Dollars ($200.00) to the Garfield County Treasurer at or prior to the time of recording of the Final Plat. 11. FEES IN LIEU OF DEDICATION OF SCHOOL LAND. Condition 20 of the PUD Approval required Owner to convey an identified School Site Parcel to the RE -1 School District in full satisfaction of all obligations for dedication of land or payment of fees in lieu thereof for the Los Amigos Ranch PUD.

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. 13.

As one remedy for breach of this SIA, including failure to satisfy requirements of the Preliminary Plan Approval, 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 Carbondale & Rural Fire Protection District ("District"), if the 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 and all requirements of the Preliminary Plan Approval have been satisfied as required by this SIA. 14. CONSENT TO VACATE PLAT.

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. 15. 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.
